Giöbia

Turin, Italy

Giöbia is an Italian psychedelic band. Seduced by the lysergic side of the sixties, by exotic mantras and by the evocative power of space rock, Giöbia formed in Milan and stand out for their many facets, united by a single creed: turning every encounter with sound into a psychedelic experience. The band take their name from the pre-Christian festival of the same name celebrated in northern Italy, in which a large straw effigy resembling a witch was burned in a kind of propitiatory rite addressed to the forces of nature. Band members: frontman Bazu (vocals and string instruments), Saffo (organ, violin, vocals), Detrji (bass) and Betta (drums).
