Since then Baildsa appear with fury at festivals, music halls, bars, venues, streets with excess energy and power, without teeth. The style of the band progressively modified grafting new elements from ska, reggae, rap in the already existing balkan gypsy punk background, resulting in the present composition with: Thanos Gountanos/guitar, Yiannis Gountanos/drums, Dimitris Havlidis/trumpet, Manolis Tsiaousis/trombone, Yiannis Ioannidis/bass, Yiannis Vamvakas/accordion.
