The following description was submitted by the event organizer.

The Cosmic Psychos are (almost) an Australian punk rock institution formed in Spring Plains, Victoria in 1982, spearheaded by founding member and bass player Ross Knight.

To date, the band has released ten studio albums since their self-titled debut (1987). Their influence has been global, with UK band The Prodigy sampling their music on 1997’s ‘The Fat of the Land’ LP and Nirvana producer Butch Vig proclaiming them an influence on both Nirvana and the Seattle grunge scene of the 1990s.

In 2009, Eddie Vedder of Pearl Jam spoke candidly of the effect the band had on him growing up in Seattle. The band’s repetitive lyrics, fuzzed-out guitar and wah-wah bass sound remained unchanged over their 30 plus year career and continues to win over new audiences.
