Psychic TV (PTV3) originally from Hackney, London, but now resident in New York, USA, are back on tour. Back in 1981, when Throbbing Gristle stopped beating, Genesis P-Orridge (Vocal, noise bass guitar, electric violin) decided to give up on the music scene, but was prompted by Alex Fergusson from Alternative TV to continue and Psychic TV (PTV3) was born. Jess Steward (keyboards), Morrison Edley aka Edward ODowd (drums), David Max (guitar), Gyda Gash (bass) complete the current line-up.
Psychic TV
Fans of Throbbing Gristle, will find Psychic TV something of a departure. Psychedelic and alternative rock are rooted in the music, which powers out with energy and enthusiasm. The band ride between fast numbers to more esoteric compositions, with the end result being a superb journey into a new environment to explore.
Their current tour takes them across a broad sweep of Europe.

The tribute album, to Lady Jaye Brayer P-Orridge, Genesis wife, who died in 2007, Mr. Alien Brain vs The Skinwalkers, released in 2008, is a journey well worth taking.
