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, Brainswarm, Derecho, Unified Alarm System, Upstate, Circuit Riders, Wicked Immigrant, Bullet Gastino, and Tarantula Dinner Party.
We recently released new e/p's from Brainswarm and Derecho and are readying a new release from Unified Alarm System. If you'd like to know more or get free MP3s, email info@friendlypsychicsmusic.com or visit FriendlyPsychicsMusic.com.
