Jeff Chard played his first club, the legendary Highlands in Cambridge, at 16 years old in late 1988 as part of the band Back to Front. He went on to form the Anti Socials, Funkchannel, The Marlins and id v.s. superego over the next twenty years. With each band came a cassette or CD release of original music, as well as lots of gigs in the Cambridge, Guelph, Kitchener-Waterloo and Toronto areas.
Chad Kreutzweiser first made his presence in the late 80’s as DJ Rhythmic Action but quickly changed gears to keyboards and synthesizers. Influenced by bands such as New Order and Depeche Mode, Kreutzweiser went on to form alternative electronic bands Sector Seven, Master Unit and CRE8OR until 1995 when he took a long hiatus. In 2007 he re-surfaced as Solosonic.
Chard and Kreutzweiser had been looking for a way to merge guitar-based and electronic music independently for several years when they were introduced by Kreutzweiser’s cousin and formed Vienna Psychoanalytic Society in 2008. With young families, professional careers and a love for old-school new wave and modern Britpop in common, V.P.S. exists to create a music of common influences. “State of Mind,” their first release, serves as an amalgamation of this art.
Hey Chad, Yeah, I forget the name of the venue we went to in Kitchner, but it was a great place to see a show. It had red curtains inside right down town, perhaps you know exactly where I'm talking about. I had a piece of the best Pecan Pie I've ever eaten at a bakery down the road, I'll never forget how good that was, lol. Do you get down to the states often? TREE
Just thought I'd drop you a line fella.... Bad Lieutenant absolutley Rocked at the Manchester Gig- Barney and the lads were superb from start to finish!!!I'll not spoil the set list for you but Barney threw in some lovely suprises from his back catalogue to please everyone in the audience!!! I Danced crazy to the tunes-the bad lieu's know how to excite the new order masses!!! You are in for a rocking treat when they play the North American dates supporting Black Francis & the Pixies!!!

hello. we do have similar tastes in music. but you've been mistaken, I'm actually in the new division. i play keys. no worries though. I was actually a fan of their music before i was in the band. i met them at one of their shows and a few months later they called me up to come audition. i've been playing with them for about one year now. thanks for all your support with the band and for getting jed to do a remix for us
Oh ya! He's great. thanks a lot for putting us in touch together. It's been cool to see what he's done with "20 Angels." We're very excited with the results!
Hi Chad, Greetings from Jersey. I loved your stuff, Going Home is my favorite. I was in Kitchner one time to see Finger Eleven, and my friends and I loved that town. Everything in Canada is so clean, it's a beautiful country. Thanks for reaching out. Cheers, TREE
Hiya! Yeah I really like the album.Would have loved more keyboard,but there's some good tunes on there.Particularly like SINK OR SWIM,TWIST OF FATE,SUMMER DAYS,POISONOUS INTENT,and DYNAMO's definitely got a WHO-keyboard thing going on.
