Athens Soundies - Blog http://www.athenssoundies.com en-us ℗ & © 2013 Athens Soundies SOUNDIES are two things. They are one of the first forms of music videos-popular in the early 1940s. They were three minute musical films usually found on "video jukebox projectors" in bars and clubs. It's also the name we've affectionately titled a series of one take, low-fi, live sound music videos inspired by the "Take Away Shows" series from LaBlogotheque (takeawayshows.com) James Husband James & Friends play us some music on a chilly day in Athens.
