Named for their home village of Chiliomodi, the stoner rock band 1000mods bring Cheat Death, the heaviest record of their twenty-year career, to The Garage in Highbury.
The Greek stoner rock band 1000mods bring Cheat Death, the heaviest record of their twenty-year career, to The Garage in Highbury on Sunday 29 November 2026.
The band formed in 2006 in the village of Chiliomodi, and the name is a pun on it: chilia is Greek for a thousand. Their first album, Super Van Vacation, took them on two European tours across fifteen countries.
Their fourth album, Youth of Dissent, came out on the band’s own label in 2020. Dani G., Giorgos T. and Labros G. released Cheat Death as a trio in November 2024.
Their standing was built on the road, at festivals such as Desertfest and on a coast-to-coast American tour in 2023.
London has heard them at EartH in Hackney in February 2025 and at the Roundhouse that December. This date returns them to The Garage, where they played in April 2024.
The room was the Temperance Billiard Hall before it reopened as The Garage in 1993, with Pulp the first big name on its stage.
