It was around his teenage years, that Babis Kaisas (guitarist/basist/songwriter from Greece) realised he actually had song ideas flying around his head. He started taking notes, and writing lyrics down. Later on, he tried to bring these ideas to life, on guitar.
In 2006 Babis stumbled across Alan Kelly (original British band SHY drummer) through the internet. Alan had been away from the spotlight for sometime, away from SHY, and found Babis' ideas interesting.Together they worked under the name Zandem, and released a few demos. Some of those demos, featured British band's Karrallon, basist Dave Deeley, on the lead vocal role.
In late 2007,and since Alan Kelly decided to concentrate on his solo material, Babis continued writing,and demoing songs on his own.
In mid 2009,while contacting British singer Tony Mills (SHY/TNT) through the internet,Tony offered his help to Babis.They chose the name Kaisas for the project,cause of Babis involvement on all aspects.
After working for sometime with Tony Mills on songs,the time came to find a drummer.Brazilian Acacio Carvalho,who now lived in the USA,agreed to work with them mid 2010,and the Kaisas line up was completed,with three musicians, recording from three different countries.
Their work was mixed and mastered at M2 Studion in Wolverhampton, UK,by none other than Mark Stuart, and Sheena Sear,who had worked with bands such as Magnum,and Diamond Head.
The artwork for the album,was brought to life, by German Rainer Kalwitz, and his associates.Rainer had worked with everybody from Praying Mantis, to Shadow Gallery, to Dare.
Their debut album entitled "Unify", is distributed through Copro Productions/Casket Music(UK)worldwide.
Lately singer Mark Evans (from the American band Heavens Edge), and fellow American drummer, Allen Brunelle (King's Ransom/Mystic Force) have joined the band, and are working on the second yet untitled, Kaisas album.

'Any project with Tony Mills is always bound to be a win-win situation and occasionally Kaisas has taken a step back to make for a more balladesque feel, as one might expect from an '80-inspired band, it all works out very well' - Concrete Web
