8/8/2005 Anna appears in Mykonos (Greece), having a new look for her live performance at the Coca Cola Soundwave festival and shocks us! The shocking factor is the hair style. She has shaved an area on the right part of her head and adopts a rock/punk look, compatible with the nature of the festival she is going to sing, but very unusual in Greece! She is going to shoot 3 music videos with this look: the international music video for "Call me", the clip for Nylon and the clip for "Erota i polemo". The last two are included in her new album which is released one month later!
