Just days before this show, Jason Dockter (Psycho Gypsy's touring drummer) was stricken with a painful infection in his right arm that made his arm swell to twice it's normal size. running a high fever and nursing an arm that resembled a bowling pin, it was apparent that Jason would not be able to perform the Hollywood California show at the Whiskey a Go Go. Faced with a decision of either postponing or, as Motley Crue would put it, "Going on with the show" The remaining Members of Psycho Gypsy decided it would be better to press on. With no time to train a replacement for the drums, Timm Tantrum For this one night would switch from Guitar to drums (With the help of Motley Crue tribute True 2 Crue who lent out their drum kit). This putting extra Guitar duties on Erik "BD" St. Erickson and Added pressure on Co-Frontman Eddie Electra to fill a void in the front of the stage left empty with Timm Behind the drums. This is video footage of the Amazing result that night. All three of the remaining members pulled off the show and added an incredible chapter for Psycho Gypsy. This is definately a band that cannot be stopped!!!!!!!!!!!

Psycho Gypsy was a band that formed at the height of the GRUNGE era in Phoenix, AZ. 1992 by Eddie Electra (who later would join Hollywood's infamous PEPPERMINT CREEPS): on vocals and guitar; and Timmy Tantrum: vocals and bass. The band would undergo a few lineup changes before the most popular lineup which included Erik "BD" Johnson on lead guitar, and Mykel (R.I.P) on drums. PSYCHO GYPSY were proudly Phoenix's ONLY glam rock band. Coming off a long succession of local glam bands in the late '80s, Eddie and Tim thought long and hard about ditching the makeup when they formed the group in 1992. It was a time when grunge bands like Nirvana and Pearl Jam had taken over the driver's seat on the radio airwaves and bands such as Motley Crue, Poison, and Guns N' Roses were forced to ride in the back seat.For exactly that reason, Eddie and Tim decided to champion the art of frosty lipstick, glittery scarves, and black eyeliner while performing their style of raunchy and sleazy rock 'n roll. The band was notorious for 'mouthing off' to audience members, and causing some serious bar room brawls! It was very hard to even get a gig. However, it wasn't long before the band "caught on" , and eventually PSYCHO GYPSY had regular "gigs" throughout the Phoenix area. Their rock and roll theatrics and cool tunes landed them opening slots for many major bands of the day, including Poison,Warrant, Cinderella, L.A. Guns, Slaughter, Pretty Boy Floyd, Shotgun Messiah, Tyketto, and Bang Tango, as well as Tuff, The Zeros, Atomic Punks, and many other bands.Venues Psycho Gypsy have performed at included Hollywood's Coconut Teaszer GLITTER GLAM NIGHT and The Roxy, playing shows with other popular Hollywood acts like Revl'on Red,Foxy Roxx, Guttersluts, Peppermint Creeps, and Spiders & Snakes.PSYCHO GYPSY'S main home, was a little hole in the wall in Phoenix called THE MASON JAR. It was there that Psycho Gypsy started a bi-monthly event in coordination with the "JAR's CZAR" Franco Gagliano (75 Cents Kamikazze's anyone?) entitled"The Glam Slam" that to the dismay of MANY, turned out to be a huge success! The band would perform with other glam rock bands invited from across the USA , and between sets they would dj and play music videos on a huge video screen from bands that influenced them, such as Kiss, Motley Crue, and Poison. Past shows have included Foxy Roxx, Guttersluts, Trash Brats, Spiders & Snakes, and Peppermint Creeps.Later PSYCHO GYPSY would produce thier very own cable access show entitled ...but of course..THE PSYCHO GYPSY SHOW! The show was on every Monday nights @ 11 pm in the Phoenix Area and was crudely edited as well as painfully cheesy! However, people tuned in (even if just for the sake of heckling the band)! The show featured live clips of the band, as well as various embarrasing sketches and stunts ala JACKASS! PSYCHO GYPSY called it a day spring of 2000 as the members of the band would drift in different directions. ...However, NEVER SAY NEVER!
