Hippomaniacs were formed in Athens in 2019 by Yiannis Kassetas (saxophone), Panos Giotis Svobotnik (guitar), Giorgos Kostopoulos (electric bass) and Panagiotis Kostopoulos (drums).

They combine 70’s funk, psychedelia, influences from Ethiopian and New Orleans music and are based on improvisation with blues and jazz tones.

In 2024 they released their first EP.
