Description of Cosmic Psychos: Blokes You Can Trust (2013):

For 30 years, the Cosmic Psychos have blazed a trail of empty beer cans and busted ear drums around the globe with their quintessential Australian drawl and pounding punk rock songs. With the founding member Ross Knight finding inspiration from the Bulldozer he drove on the family farm in country Victoria, the band forged a unique sound and image that resonated with punk rock fans everywhere. Iconic label Sup Pop! released their second album when the band fell into the 'Seattle' scene of the late 80's amidst the likes of Pearl Jam, Mudhoney and The Melvins. Never quite finding the mainstream success of their grunge counterparts, the band managed to tour heavily in the USA and Europe thanks to a large and devoted fan base. The Cosmic Psychos were notorious for their ability to drink pubs dry, earning them a reputation that resonated around as a warning - "Never drink with the 'Psychos". But it wasn't all shits and giggles. A heavy falling out with drummer and founding member Bill Walsh... Written byMatt Weston

User Review:

COSMIC PSYCHOS: BLOKES YOU CAN TRUST. I must admit that I am not a fan of the Cosmic Psychos, and their hard and heavy blend of grunge and punk rock is not to my taste. But having said that, this fascinating and revealing documentary tracing the band's thirty year musical journey is very entertaining and enjoyable. A lot of that is down to their charismatic front man Ross Knight, a modest and unassuming and unlikely rock hero who is our guide on this warts and all journey. Knight is candid about the history of the band as he talks about their internal tensions, their tours and the famous people they have met along the way, and the sense of loss over the death of their guitarist Robbie Watts. A farmer from rural Victoria for who music is pretty much a hobby, Knight is candid, but he is also unassuming and down to earth, and has a wonderfully self deprecating sense of humour. The Cosmic Psychos played hard both on stage and off stage, and their heavy drinking reputation preceded them on their tours. The band largely influenced much of the grunge scene in Seattle in the 80s, and we hear from the likes of fellow musicians like Eddie Vedder, the Mudhoneys, and record producer Butch Vig, who all sing their praises. The documentary unfolds in linear and chronological fashion which makes it easy to follow the band's journey from high school punk band to one of the foremost grunge bands in the world, although they have never quite hits the same level of mainstream success. Director Matt Weston is a veteran of rock music videos and has worked with the likes of Beasts Of Bourbon and he clearly knows the rock industry. The documentary is full of grainy archival footage and videos of live performances, lots of intimate and personal photographs, and plenty of talking heads interviews with former band members like drummer Bill Watts and other musicians who are fans of the band. And there are some clever animated sequences that illustrate some of the more colourful anecdotes, including a visit to a New York S&M bondage dungeon. While Weston was shooting the film though Knight was in the midst of a bitter divorce, and his concerns about whether he would lose his farm and house have worked their way into the documentary, adding an extra level of emotion and empathy to the material. Raw, revealing and essential Cosmic Psychos: Blokes You Can Trust is a must for fans. This superb music documentary is up there with the likes of Anvil and Metallica: Some Kind Of Madness, which also offer a raw and candid look at both the creative pressures and the internal tensions of successful bands.
