Jupiter Fungus

A studio band duo from Piraeus – Greece, formed in 2012 by Ares Papatriantafillou (ex-Father Sun) on keyboards and vocals and Fotis Xenikoudakis (ex-Father Sun, The Telestons) on flute. Following the breakup of their band and having spent several years in the local stoner-rock scene, they decided it was time for a change and moved on to their next project, a roots-inspired Progressive Rock band. Between the search for musicians to accompany the duo and time-consuming setbacks, such as the theft of their studio, it was evident that the project was showing signs of an ill-fated future. Eventually they managed to override the obstacles and with the combined forces of George Emmanuel, from Pentagram Studio (ex-Rotting Christ), on the mixing boards and guitars and Nick Vell (Chaostar, Kinoskop) on the drums, both from the ranks of Lucifers Child, and George Papageorgiou on bass.
