These started as a pop band, in Turin (ca 1970), led by singer and keyboard player Patrizio Alluminio. In their early days they led a double life as the Troglomen and had an international hit single known as "Ding Dong". Two years later they turned into a fully fledged prog band, issuing the one since critically acclaimed album Scolopendra. Decades later the band reformed recording two new albums.
