NANOI (Greek for Dwarves) were formed in 1993 in Thessaloniki, Greece. Their music is a mixture of alternative and experimental rock. The first line up was Panos Nanos (guitar), Andreas Nanos (bass) and Alexis Nanos (drums). A year later Evanthia Sofronidou and Suzy Beza joined as vocalists. Their first concert was at the "Kapani Live", an open air all-day concert in Thessaloniki. Since than they have given numerous concerts and partcipated in major festivals around Greece. In 1997 Suzy left the band. In 1998 Eucalyptus (ex bass player for Noise Promotion Company) joined to play guitar.

In 1999 ANO KATO RECORDS decided to take the plunge and release Linguaphone, the band's first album. More personnel changes took place in 2001, when Evanthia left the band and Simos Nanos (ex Citizen Kane guitarist) joined as lead vocalist. Eucalyptus left in 2003 - not only he left the band but also he left the country; he has since been reportedly sighted in West Africa. Simos Nanos was the obvious choice to take on guitar duties.

2005 saw the recording of Nanodrive, the band's second album on ANO KATO RECORDS. Unable to do without a former Noise Promotion Company member in their line-up, NANOI decided to recruit George Bandoek and let him guest on guitar.
