Psychic Jams European Promotional Tour 2009 Part II

2009-10-11T09:19:00.000-07:00

Below is the second instalment of photographs from

the Psychic Jams European Promotional Tour, May-October 2009.

Ostrava, Czech Republic

Seven feet tall. Contains a prosthetic human. Advertises family camping equipment.

Holland, Amsterdam.

The world's best-selling prosthetic vagina. Also comes in mouth, anus, and some kind of alien slot variety. Can be easily disguised as a flashlight, hence clever title.

Steenwijk, the Netherlands.

A serving of chips devouring it's own brain. With only one arm.

Somewhere near Liege, Belgium

Lyon, France

Psychic Jams featured on Czech Republic/Poland Anarchistic Internet Radio

2009-09-29T01:15:00.000-07:00

Psychic Jams was featured as Sound of the Week on Radios.cz, a Czech Republic/Poland Anarchistic Internet Radio site run by Tomas Heczko (Deputy Mayor of Mutisov) and Robert Sniezek (of Polish band THCulture).

But that was two weeks ago, so you are too late to revel in our International Mass Media Success.

However, the Psychic Jams profile and some songs are still on the site. Go to http://radios.cz, click on "Montserrat", then click on Psychic Jams in the list of hosted bands. Click on the moving mini-radio to the right of the big radio and you will see the profile. It will be in Czech initially, but you can click GB to get it in English. It will confuse the fuck out of you, but do it anyway.

Because it was translated by a robot, the Czech version actually reads:

"Jams are psychological space DIY hardcore band from New Zealand, playing a combination of stilted early 80 let punk and psychedelic spacerock ugly, mutant children uneasy union between microbes and Hawkwind. But the child is thriving. Hybrid vigor.

The six-song tape was released in June 2009, and there will be more copies available in Europe very soon. Write to us at psychicjams@gmail.com if you want to copy! (donations accepted). Will have several editions later this year.

Mental Jams plan extensive tours of Europe in September-October 2010, after touring New Zealand extensively in December 2009 and travel in Australia early 2010.
For more information, photos, download some songs from the tape, and be impressed Psychic Jams Fan-Craft, visit www.psychicjams.blogspot.com
Anarchy, Equality, Telepathy"

There is also dogloads of good music and interesting shit on there, so worth checking out anyway.

First ever PSYCHIC JAMS FAN-CRAFT produced in Vancouver, Canada.

2009-09-03T11:07:00.001-07:00

These photos depict what are probably the first two examples in the universe of Psychic Jams Fan-Craft.

This probably delicious preserve was produced by Shamuel M. Frewd, an electrical engineer in Vancouver, Canada.

You would like to order some of these limited edition 5-inch official Psychic Jams approved fan-condiments numbered out of 20.

Secret conundrum: Is it two peoples' faces or a vase?! And if it is indeed people, then, based on their personalities, what kind of drink do you imagine they would each be if they were both drinks?

Psychic Jams European Promotional Tour '09

2009-08-28T07:36:00.000-07:00

The following images are a selection of photographs taken during the Psychic Jams European Promotional Tour '09. This tour was one third physical, two thirds transcendental.

Ajka, Hungary
The buzziest purple crystal encrusted OutOfIt Skunknugents in the entire Austro-Hungarian
Empire.

Abandoned Soviet-era 9-pin bowling alley.

Scoreboard.

Control panel.
It is obvious that the future already occurred, 50 years ago behind the Iron Curtain.

Kutna Hora, Czech Republic
A bird made from human bones. 14th century plague victims. Pecking a human skull, also made from human bones.

Prague, Czech Republic
On the outside of Milada, the now-evicted longest running squat in the country. Image depicting the consequences of contemplating whether or not the world is really just a giant bud.
Clear breach of Wrongmen copyright.

Jamsterdam, Holland
A divisive issue for the local population: Is Jamsterdam or Amsterjam the better name for the city? This extraterrestrial rastafarian does not help the situation.

Somewhere between Chemnitz and Bremen, Germany.
This martian is supposed to entertain children in a petrol station while their parents purchase gasoline, cigarettes and cocktails.

Conceptual promotional artwork for upcoming Psychic Jams Non-Transcendental European Tour '10.

This image depicts a perfect closed-loop cosmic cycle. Provided there is no sweating or spilling, this circular union could continue indefinitely into the future. It seems reasonable to suggest that Universal Consciousness will emerge once every being in the cosmos becomes linked into this cycle.

Psychic Jams play Jams Day Illegal Drug Related Festival 2009 at Mt Zion, Jamilton, New Zealand.

2009-05-29T20:43:00.000-07:00

On May 2nd 2009, Psychic Jams played at "Jams Day", an illegal street-drugs related festival, in Mt. Zion National Park, Jamilton, New Zealand.

Below is video footage from this concert, care of none other than notable Auckland Rock Personality, THE Grant Sheridan.

Please note the lack of any visible humans watching the concert, despite the prominence of the outdoor venue and the high quality of the musical act performing. Please also note the mystical orb and accompanying space-noise appearing at twenty-four seconds through the video. Please note the hippies, who were themselves dancing with mystical orbs earlier (off camera), running in terror to get away from the vibrations of the Cosmic Hardcore Rock Music Assault.

Finally, please also note that if you search for Psychic Jams on Youtube, the top related link is a video entitled "Pedophile Beards". Another closely related video is entitled "Fat kid falls off van".

Incidentally, the Jams Day show ended up being part of an extensive 3-date NORTH ISLAND TOUR, including shows in The Auckland Megacity, Jamilton, and Mt Zion National Park.

Below is a post-hoc tour poster we made when we returned to our respective homes:

Psychic blog, EP, Live Jams

2009-05-20T16:11:00.000-07:00

Hi, we have signed up for a blog in the hope of contributing to the advancement of a unified global consciousness. We are playing tonight in Auckland.

We will be releasing a free online EP on the 27th of May. There will be flyers with the download code at the show in Wellington.

The poster for the May 27th show (left) was drawn by Wellington artist Hannah R. Salmon. Seeking inspiration for the poster, Hannah performed an internet search for the words Psychic Jams. The search engine prompted her: "Did you mean Psychic James?". She realized that she did indeed mean Psychic James. An image search for Psychic James reveals the disturbing face of James depicted in the poster. According to James, James is "considered to be the best Stage Psychic medium and clairvoyant in the UK".

..and we will be putting the download link up here later in the week along with some Jams Day photos and video diary from May 2nd.
