Platypus was an American progressive rock supergroup active from 1997 to 2000, featuring John Myung (bass) and Derek Sherinian (keyboards) of Dream Theater, Ty Tabor (guitar, vocals) of King's X, and Rod Morgenstein (drums) of Dixie Dregs. The band released two albums: "When Pus Comes to Shove" (1998) and "Ice Cycles" (2000). Their music blended modern progressive rock with 1970s influences, characterized by guitar and keyboard-driven compositions, vocal harmonies, and extended instrumental sections. After disbanding, Myung, Tabor, and Morgenstein continued their collaboration in The Jelly Jam. ([en.wikipedia.org](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Platypus_%28band%29?utm_source=openai))
