Influences: Psychic Date present a very diverse textural multi-layered sound and as such have many varied influences; so hey! lets go!.Way back my first influences were the sounds of nature in my homeland of New Zealand,of birds singing ,leaves rustling in the wind (plenty ov that!) rain falling on a tin roof (LOTS ov that too!).Then there was Bing Crosby-my dad's favourite,Th Stones-my brothers favourite and also at this time the music on television,huge thematic cowboy tunes,voodoo music of the deep south,and also the polynesian rhythms of Maori music.Then came Hendrix(wow!),Steppenwolf,The Doors,Groundhogs,Pink Floyd(r.i.p.Sid), and many others as myself and the rest of the world came to terms with the aftermath of the mind -musical -artistic freedom we had created in that halcyon time of the '60s-early '70s.Punk i loved for its attitude and energy and finger-up at music's bloated aristocracy and also for playing THE major role in killing off what i found to be the most contemptable,loathsome,irrelevant musical form ever;the west-coast sound- YUK!,excuse me while i nip outside and VOMIT !Musically Punk never quite cut the mustard but it did open the way for more extreme music to surface -think,The Birthday Party,The Fall,Magazine,Pere Ubu, and also breathe new life into the careers of the true artists like Captain Beefheart,Frank Zappa,Lou Reed,Eno et al.OK here's the real influences;Pharoah Sanders,Sonny Sharrock,Miles Davis,Ornette Coleman,Archie Shepp,Jimi Hendrix,The Seeds,Neu,Sid Barrett,Tommy Bolin,Amon Duul 1 and 11,God (the band !),Praxis,Merzbow,John Cage,Bill Frisell,Cream,Kurt Vonnegut,Sigur Ros (huge fan!),Faust,Stockhausen,Gamelan music,Painkiller,Ravi Shanker and sooo much more but i thought i'd run out of space; so lets keep going!James Blood-Ulmer,John Coltrane,Don Cherry,Sun Ra(ab-so-lootly!),Buckethead,Primus,Mr Bungle,Japanese traditional music,Tom Wolfe,psychedelics,squelchy electronica,Napalm Death,sex,good food,Eraserhead,under-water life,anyone from another galaxy,marijuana,Ash Ra Temple,Ligeti and tooooo much more!!
Sounds Like: Psychic Date think they have a very unique canvas of sound which falls somewhere in the Post-Rock genre and can vary anywhere from ethereal psychedelic ambience through to passages of fully-cranked speed-jazz-noise-metal-improv but never losing sight of melody and rhythmical precision.We value your comments and support and maybe together we can form a new genre !.
