COSMIC PSYCHOS
Sometime in the winter of 1989/90, I wandered into New York City’s Midnight Records, a store famous for its deep catalog of 60s garage and psychedelic music, as well as a strong selection of classic punk rock, and a cantankerous French owner with ridiculous hair. On this visit, instead of hearing a puny French bootleg of The Standells or the Seeds, as I opened the door I was enveloped in the massive opening chords to the first song on the Cosmic Psychos then-new album GO THE HACK. “She’s a lost cause / she’s a lost lost cause!” blasted into the air at maximum volume. In a perfect cinematic moment, the drums announced my entry, the bass dictated my walk, the air became thick with guitar fuzz and wah wah, and snarled vocals described perfectly a girl’s descent into a cause which was lost. Instead of record shopping, I felt like I’d stepped into a biker movie and was motoring down a long straight outback road on a Harley. This was my introduction to the Cosmic Psychos and I was hooked.

I loved that a band could be so powerful and sound so big and unapologetically simple, and incorporate so much of what I loved about music - well, basically the attitudes and sounds of the Stooges and Ramones, setting up songs with a good title or idea, matching it with a massive riff, then running it out with squeals of wah wah and manly disregard for cleverness or adornment. AND THEY CALLED THEMSELVES THE COSMIC PSYCHOS! They obviously had no regard for “makin’ it” in those days when an alternative rock band at least had a chance to sell some records. I was an instant fan.

Earlier records proved to be the same formula with even less refinement, and that was definitely a good thing. These were lovably manly Aussies singing about what they knew best- farm equipment, lusting after Elle Macpherson, wishing they were in Van Halen (for the ladies), drinking at the pub, and even more drinking at the pub. Trivia question: In what indie rock song does the lead singer bellow, “I love my tractor!”?  Answer: NONE! No scarves or looking like Stevie Nicks straight out of the hairstylist’s for these fellows. They were the real deal before the deal was dealt. And couldn’t care less.

The Psychos enjoyed a long run through the 80s and 90s on such Australian labels as What Goes On, Mr Spaceman, Survival, and Rattlesnake, as well as American stalwarts Sub Pop and Amphetamine Reptile. Many bands from that era no longer seem vital today, lost in a murk of crisp drums, loud guitars, flannel shirts and shallow aspirations. These first Cosmic Psychos releases feel as timeless and necessary as ever, still a bullshit bulldozer, a blurry loud night at the bar, a rollicking time hanging with the guys. The time has come for a new generation to be uplifted by these initial blasts from the Cosmic Psychos. Goner is proud to partner with Melbourne’s esteemed Aarght Records to once again bring these platters of primal perfection into a world that definitely needs them. As Ross yells in Go The Hack’s “Back In Town,”

“We’re B.I.T.! BACK IN TOWN!”   

Indeed.

You Are My World (Beatport Exclusive Mix)

Bono was in South Africa this week to join those paying tribute to Nelson Mandela at Tuesday's memorial service.

'In Ireland,' he says, 'A wake is never without humour but it's fair to say we lean heavily on the melancholy… one thing I love about Africa is they accompany the departed with dancing, lots of it, and music full of joy.'

On Thursday, 'Ordinary Love', the song the band wrote for 'Mandela: Long Walk To Freedom', was nominated for a Golden Globe Award and today the band wanted to share Paul Epworth's new version.

'We think Paul Epworth's mix is a very soulful, uplifting one and we hope our audience will agree,' says Bono. 'Nelson Mandela's life and times meant more to me than I can ever tell you, I would need a hundred songs to do that… but this complicated little love song to Winnie and South Africa is the one that landed on our lap.

'I want to thank the Hollywood Foreign Press for believing in us and the film. This is truly a great honour.'
