Friendly Psychics Music

About Me

Friendly Psychics Music is an independent home-recording collective based out of Dayton, Ohio and Denver, Colorado. We're not really a record label, just a group of like-minded friends.

Our members have never practiced or played together in the same room -- we mail our contributions and layer with tape machines and computers and drugs. Our groups include Dishwater Psychics, Upstate, Circuit Riders, Wicked Immigrant, Derecho, Bullet Gastino, and Tarantula Dinner Party.

We recently released a new full-length from Dishwater Psychics and The Circuit Riders (the band's first in 7 years) and are readying releases from Derecho, Brainswarm and Sir Yes Sir. If you'd like to know more or get free MP3s, email [email protected] or visit FriendlyPsychicsMusic.com.
