PSYCHIC TV

After the hypnotic ingenuity of their 'Mouth Of The Night' LP, I was expecting something similar from Psychic TV live. However, they did everything but conform to their reputation as an experimental, fringe band. In fact, they played the most blistering guitar-orientated rock I have heard in a long time. Psychic TV bleached several reek standard down to their bare bones. Genesis P-Orridge's psycho- tic vocal meanderings ripped the soul out of heard It Through The Grapevine', and turned 'Get Off My Cloud' into an anthem of aggression and paranoia; all calculated to have the rock purist -grovelling for mercy, In the slower songs, there were obvious shades of the Velvet Underground. At times the 'weld:rms. were too literal, not only because of the content of the set. b T. also because Psychic TV were very accomplished at playing them. The more diehard 'Psychic Youth' did not appreciate it at first, but eventually everyone took up P-Orridge's invitation to the 'Moonstomp'. The audience pogo-ing to the faster numbers, ironically reminiscent of the early days of punk; and in this year of nostalgic remembrance it should be noted that Genesis' P-Orridge was creating public scandals well before the Bill Grundy Show incident • Genesis P Orndge. Photo; Tony Woolgar If their musical style was uncharacteristic, visually Psychic TV were unmistakeable. Backed by the customary films and slides, the pig-tailed P-Orridge twisted and jerked his body around the stage like a demented Buddhist. His tiny daughter, Caress, made her appearance and won all the hearts in the audience.
