Psychonautilus

It's a one-man disco!

About Me

Psychonautilus is a one man project, the brain child of Thomas Tichai. It is an outlet for the uncompromising and spontaneous music that is sung and played by the many characters and voices in Thomas' head.
After only existing in the virtual realms of homerecording for several years, Psychonautilus finally hit the stage in February 2004 in Liverpool, UK. Since then, Psychonautilus has regularly astonished audiences in the Northwest of England and toured Germany twice - once in 2004 together with Sanagi, once in 2005.
Recording and writing has continued as well with the latest EP "72 Fluorescent Droppings Of A Baboon Headed Mongrel" being released in June 2005 and a full length album currently in the making after successfully relocating to Berlin, Germany, in early 2007.

Cyberdelic Freakbeat (EP, 2003)
