Athens has had various incarnations, with the most recent being the most essential.  Two alchemists, working feverishly in the basement of a haunted castle, are producing a recording that will change life on Earth as we know it.  Soon they will light the sacred beacon and assemble a horde of musicians to aid in their quest.  Who are these wizards?  Who are these madmen?   

This is what the media says...

"Art-rock, where have you been hiding? It feels good to listen to something unhinged for a change and this is genuinely playful, unafraid to be ridiculous... bright colours, surreal landscapes, exaggerated mood music, abrupt changes of direction, it’s got them all. "
- David Cowling, www.americana-uk.com (May 11, 2009)

"Athens is twangy and angry and weird and funny. It presents the challenges and picks the fights rock 'n' roll is supposed to. "
- Frank De Blase, Rochester City Newspaper (Jul 22, 2009)
