Above: Psycho Motelevision returns with the latest installment of the epic battle for the Lost Crystal, just in time for Psycho Motel XIV: The Primitives VS Zombina and the Skeletones, at the Lomax!

Below: The moment when it all came together at Psycho Motel XIII: The Dutch Space Rock Invasion. The bird, I think you'll find, is the word. 

Psycho Motel XIV 23/05/12

Wednesday 23rd May at The Lomax - it's Psycho Motel time again!

That's right - The Primitives! That excellent psych-punkpop combo known the world over for this unforgettable mega-hit...

...and Morrissey's fave t-shirt!

They've been gone a long time, but they're touring again in support of their new album! We're incredibly excited that they're coming to the Motel. If you don't already know their work outside of "Crash", here's a couple of our favourites to give you an idea...

...and in the red corner, we have Psycho Motel champions - Zombina and the Skeletones, for who this will THE ONLY UK SHOW OF 2012, so if you don't come along, you won't get to see Zombina and the Skeletones again for who knows how long. Is that what you want!?

Here's the latest ZATS video, in case you haven't seen it yet...

...on top of all that, we've got The Primitives tour support - The School, Phlegmings the Singin' Bellboy doin' his thing and a bunch of wild DJ sets from GoodGuy Joe and Becky Boneshaker!

Get them £5 advance tickets right now from Curious Orange (basement of Grand Central, Renshaw St.) or from seetickets.com or it's £7.50 on the door on the night.

Psycho Motel XIII 11/05/12

Greetings, Earthlings. This Friday night at the Kazimier it’s time for "Psycho Motel XIII: The Dutch Space Rock Invasion" at the Kazimier, so put a rocket in your pocket, wrap yourself in tinfoil, and hitch a UFO down to the Curious Orange on Renshaw St. to get one of them sweet £4 tickets (it’s £6 on the door, the crazy saving speaks for itself)...

For the first time in the UK we have SANTA CRUZ – Den Haag’s loudest, most acid-damaged, least stoppable spacerockers with their endlessly epic cosmic ritual and policy of 'no normal songs' beware, for they are so loud you could literally hear them in outer space, where science tells us sound cannot travel! Science is wrong. It's Santa Cruz, gang...

...but before that, we’ve got the surf-tastic 2 piece, BEACH SKULLS with some of their excellent twangy experiments… 

…then it’s time for the mysterious galactic supergroup, STOCK FOOTAGE (starring folks from The International, El Toro!, After the Massacre, Horse Bastard, Noise Club and Freddy’s Nightmares) performing a one-off psychedelic rock composition that will blow your mind and do your head in!

Plus we’ve got the return of THE BRUTES! Classic garage powered punk, straight outta Glasgow. You may have seen ‘em at the Go Go Cage, or at Useless many moons ago, and noticed that they ruled. They still rule to this day…

…and as a smashing bonus feature, Zombina from Zombina andthe Skeletones will be joining the Psycho Motel DJs, to spin her favourite spaceage robo-records.

Oh, and we have lift off!!!

P.S. Thanks to everyone who came to see Legendary Shack Shakers at the Hoe Down. That was pretty much the greatest thing we’ve ever been involved in. We may have to do it again next year ;)

More of this please :)

...and of course, the icing on the cake, all the way from Los Angeles, Calivania, the eerie horrorpunk/psychobilly stylings of REZUREX...

...The Psycho Motel DJs promise to play only the scariest, most Halloweeniest rock n' roll we can muster all night. So come on down. It's only three quid, like.

Tune in tomorrow night for the next episode of Psycho Motelevision, and watch this space for the Psycho Motel volume 2 compilation (can anyone recommend a good file hosting site?) and news about Psycho Motel XIII...
