Tropic Santos (Ita) - Caccia Grossa @ Psychedelic Stoner Rock

Tropic Santos is an instrumental psych-stoner trio based in Milan, Italy, and was formed in 2018-2019. The members of the band come from other underground situations and toured Europe back and forth. Marco, guitarist of the long-lasting Veracrash, Giulio’s roots belong to post-hardcore scene, and he was the drummer of SMNTCS, Luca plays the bass for the kraut/space-rockers Huge Molasses Tank Explodes.

The three fellas built up a psych-stoner-flavoured melt of captivating tribal grooves with wide hypnotic textures and uncommon paths for an instrumental band. Their vocal-less songs do sing.

By the end of Covid19 pandemic in 2022, the band started playing live, delivering a solid yet imaginative mass of sound that always captured the audience attention.

In fall 2022, Tropic Santos started a collaboration with producer Luca Ciffo (Traum, Fuzz Orchestra). In December, times were ripe for a live session recording that reveals the natural and uncut essence of TS. A 6-track flow of 33 minutes drawing the listener in Tropic Santos’ jungle maze. The record is called “CACCIA GROSSA” (in Italian: The Big Game).

The artwork was commissioned to the artist Zero Deluxe (@zerodeluxe).

In July 2023, the band finally signed a contract with Argonauta Records, for the release of its first album “CACCIA GROSSA”.
