Post by joostone »

This band is incredible...and rockin' it for twenty some years now...

Criminally overlooked is still an understatement....

years later Im still spreading the gospel about this band...

They just finished their latest EU tour, guess they only tour in Europe. I went to the last show of the tour and WOW.....

What a band!! Incredible musicians, I guess most of their fans are musicians too. They call themselves 'psychonauts', it's a cultfollowing (myself included ;) )

Seriously, if you like grunge, classic rock, krautrock, jazz, powerpop, country or psychedelic just check them out. They have records in all of these genres ;)

Nowadays they are in heavy psychedelic phase...

yes, there are still making records and touring regularly. For a band that has done soo much and had so many different styles, one entry point is almost impossible.

They have one 'best of': Supersonic Scientist. That would be a good starting point...

My fav early MP: Timothy's Monster
My fav 'pop' MP: It's a Love Cult
My personal fav MP record: Black hole/black canvas (check 'motorpsycho oya festival' on youtube!!)
My fav psychedelic heavy MP: Heavy Metal Fruit
My current fav MP: The Tower

Possible the best live band on the planet, must be seen to believe 8-) 8-)

Their new song is streaming now. Just another decent track, looking forward to their new record. This kinda has a classic rocksound to it:
