Artist Biography
Available in:
The Cosmic Psychos are a punk rock band based in Melbourne and rural Victoria in Australia. An underground band that has only ever achieved limited recognition.
Known for their droning, fuzzed-out bass and wah-wah guitar with repetitive lyrics, the Cosmic Psychos have a simple sound that works well in context and remained largely untouched since they formed in 1982 when they evolved from the short lived Spring Plains and first achieved notoriety for their demo 'Custom Credit' which received enormous airplay on Melbourne public radio station 3PBS.
The Cosmic Psychos had a huge influence on the Seattle Sound during the 1990s, and were seen as some of the pioneers of grunge. Known for their hard drinking behaviour and vulgar lyrics, the Cosmic Psychos are one of the defining bands of the yob rock genre, a movement that celebrates the Australian male lifestyle; other bands include The Onyas, The Vee Bees and ThundaBox. Their fans include Buzz Osbourne from the Melvins, Donita Sparks from L7, Lindsay McDougall from Frenzal Rhomb and Kurt Cobain from Seattle band Nirvana and Stanners. Pearl Jam singer Eddie Vedder recognized the Cosmic Psychos at a 2009 Melbourne solo show as an early influence on him and his band.
