Anti Troppau Council

“Psychomafia” was an Athenian post punk band with close relations to the bands
South Of No North and Ex Humans (check past postings).
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 on the February of 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 a tribute to Roky Erickson).
