4-pieces Venice psych/alternative rock band formed in 2009. The band’s name was chosen as tribute to french artist and illustrator Jean “Moebius” Giraud’s most fa- mous masterpiece, “Le garage hermetique”. The name was also chosen as a manifesto for the band artistic intents, inspired by Moebius’s freedom of experimentation and aesthetic eclecticism. Starting from a rock background declined in his 60’s and 70’s psych rock variation and going through the path of ‘90s grunge stoner and post rock, the band sometimes flirts with jazzy colours, adding here and there some electronic extravaganzas.

Mauro Martinelli: electric bass (2009-2012)

2010 - "NOW|HERE - Where's Atlantis?" is our first EP. We're grateful to everyone who will use his/her time to listen to it. NOW|HERE is a starting point to nowhere, in a way. It became our past when we recorded it but it still is our future. To somewhere. 

2015 - "POSTCARDS FROM XANADU" is our second EP, 5 tracks recorded live in studio with passion and hard work, using vintage gear, dressed with dreamy/nightmarish/socially active lyrics. We hope you'll enjoy this modern psychedelic rock journey.

2022 - HERMERTIQUE GARAGE is our first LP.
