Everyone creates their version of reality. We have created ours through music and we call it Afternoon Version. Why Afternoon? Why not ... we leave that question open for you to decide ... x

Afternoon Version is a Georgian alternative band that first emerged in 1993, in the thick of Georgia’s post-Soviet chaos—a time of blackouts, curfews, and creative defiance. Formed by five teenagers from Tbilisi, the band found inspiration in the emotional landscapes of British music from the 90s—artists like Massive Attack, Radiohead, and Depeche Mode—blending that influence with their own raw, electronic-infused sound.

The original lineup included George "Sikha" Sikharulidze (bass, vocals, programming), Zurab "Zuricha" Dzagnidze (guitar), Goga Kavtaradze (drums), Nicka Tsereteli (keyboards, backing vocals), and Dato Toidze (guitar), with Misha Abesadze on vocals in the very early phase. Over the years, the band saw several evolutions, but always kept its introspective core and deep sonic textures intact.

In late 2023, after years of sporadic releases and quiet reverence from a niche audience, the original lineup reformed for a special project focused on re-recording and reimagining their earliest songs. This emotional reunion wasn't just a nostalgia trip—it was a creative renewal that led to a powerful new wave of performances and recordings.

Their music—from early releases like Together to more recent EPs like Unfortunately Dizzy—has always been a mirror to inner lives, national atmosphere, and the surreal melancholy of time passing. Afternoon Version remains a band that doesn’t chase trends—they create sonic spaces where memory, emotion, and experimentation blur into something beautifully timeless.
