Cosmic Psychos have racked up 40 years together and to celebrate this monumental milestone, these Glorius Barsteds will play three very special shows in Castlemaine. The main shindig takes place at the Theatre Royal on December 1-3 with Cosmic Psychos rounding up all their favourite bands (and some very impressive surprise guests) for a wild weekend down at Knighty’s local. In addition to the big bash, there will be more events and parties around town so grab some mates, load the esky and fang it to Victoria’s goldfield country for a big ol’ bender.
And, because it’s their anniversary, Cosmic Psychos also want to kick back and enjoy the festivities, so they’ve roped in some very special bands to headline each show.
Friday, December 1 will see Sunny Coast punks (and Psychos’ protégé) The Chats heading up a big ol’line up of some of Victoria’s finest: Blowers, Affordable Repayments and Dead Clampets featuring Psychos drummer Dean Muller putting in overtime at this show.
Saturday, December 2 will be headlined by a secret special guest (to be announced), plus some international and interstate guests including The Prize, Pat Todd (USA), Southeast Desert Metal (NT), Thee Cha Cha Chas and Psychos guitarist Mad Macka will drag his other band Boondall Boys out of hard rubbish for the celebration.
Sunday, December 3 will also be headlined by a secret special guest (also to be announced – all in due course) alongside Brissy trio The Unknowns (featuring members of The Chats), Pat Todd (USA), Meatbeaters (SA) and K5.
