Skiantos is a popular band from Bologna, Italy, formed in 1975, and creator of the Italian Demential Rock (Elio e le Storie Tese, Squallor, Gem Boy, etc). Their approach with the audience is very funny and crazy: all it's explained with the classic phrase contained in the song Largo all'avanguardia: "Siete un Pubblico di Merda, Applaudite per Inerzia". The frontman of the band is Roberto "Freak" Antoni and the storic guitarist is Fabio "Dandy Bestia" Testoni.
