Anti Troppau Council

about

"Psychomafia" was an Athenian post punk band with close relations to the bands South Of No North and Ex Humans. When the band split in 1984, the singer/guitar player Giannis Drenogiannis and the bassist Tolis Maragos formed the Anti Troppau Council along with the singer Vasilis Tzavaras and the drummer Takis Kanellos. A great number of gigs took place in the Exarchia live clubs "Pigasos" and "Point" but their performance at Kyttaro club February 1985 was the one to be remembered as there was a compilation tape released titled "Live at Kyttaro" in 1985. By the same year, Anti Troppau Council participated in the LP compilation "Outsiders" with two of their songs. Their album titled "A Way Out" was released through "Pegasus Records" (same owners of the above mentioned club) and instantly became an underground "hit". Their track "I Believe" was already the highlight in their gigs (a song paying tribute to Roky Erickson). The album gives a good idea about the band's energy as well as their love for the post punk. Last track on side B, a punk cover of the gospel hymn "When The Saints Go Marching In" titled "When The Saints Go". While the band was about to record a second album, in 1987, they unexpectedly disbanded. The reason remains unknown but during the same year, Pegasus Records released the compilation "Cicadas" with two more fine tracks of the band. TRACK LISTING: 1. The Last Poet On The Road, 2.
