Biography
Terrapin is a trio formed in 2013 in
Athens, Greece by Vassilis Athanasiadis, guitarist and singer of
psych-rockers No Man’s Land, drummer George Tzivas and bassist George
Papageorgiadis (also formerly of No Man’s Land).
In 2017 they released their debut album “Sanctuary”
via the label GOD (Garden Of Dreams), which gathered rave reviews for its
atmosphere and inspired songwriting.
George Papageorgiadis left soon after, and was
replaced by Kostas Sidirokastritis, who, in addition to electric bass,
contributes to the band with harmony vocals, keyboards and guitar.
Since their formation, Terrapin have been playing
shows incessantly, mainly around their home city. Their live sets are
electrifying, the three members striving to capture the moment, transcend it
and present their audience with something unique and timeless.
Terrapin’s sound has its roots in psychedelia-infused
folk rock, incorporating prog and folk jazz elements, at times embracing free
improvisation. But time-honoured songwriting remains the constant axis of their
music.
Their sophomore album, titled “Zero Repercussions”,
is to be released in autumn 2020 on the Athenian independent label Ikaros
Records.
