 This three-men instrumental psychedelic rock band was formed at the end of 2017 in the Venetian hinterland by Marco Sebastiano Alessi (drums), Lorenzo Barutta (lead guitar) and Silvio Tozzato (bass guitar).
 ‘Aktopasa’ means ‘octopus’ in Nepalese(‘अƃोपस’). Nepal is a landlocked continental state where the highest mountains on Earth rise. Those who live in this country may not usually see octopuses, and probably, for these populations, the octopuses are not even a main topic in everyday conversations. Aktopasa aim to represent something that is not trivial, but with a certain irrational logic: psychedelic, bluesy and proggy stoner rock frequencies coming from Mount Everest, the British coast or a Caribbean island; deep down from the ‘underground’ or outer space, from a time not precisely defined.
 For fans of Colour Haze, Earthless, Elder, Samsara Blues Experiment, Los Natas, Monkey3, Explosions In The Sky, All Them Witches, Dead Meadow, Black Mountain, Ozric Tentacles, My
