Comedy Rockers Psychostick Post Outtakes/Blooper Video From ‘Obey The Beard’+ Show Dates; Launch Indiegogo Fan Funding Campaign
Campaign Donors Receive Free Download of ‘Obey The Beard’
L-R – Alex “Shmalex” Dontre – Drums | Josh “The J” Key – Guitar | Rob “Rawrb” Kersey – Vocals | Matty J “Moose” – Bass
Comedy rock band Psychostick have posted a blooper reel from their latest music video ‘Obey The Beard’, which the band released as part of their fan funding campaign taking place at Indiegogo.com and running till December 5th. (Go to www.indiegogo.com/projects/new-psychostick-album-and-recording-studio/x/4100572.) The campaign is to raise money to record a new album and complete construction on their recording studio.

Music Video – ‘Obey The Beard’: www.youtube.com/watch?v=q0kSuZFOwFE
The band also posted a video short ‘Alex is Dead, Stupid Drummer Dies’ in support of the campaign: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qtMpVdZcsHA
Fans who contribute to the fund raising efforts will score a free MP3 of ‘Obey The Beard’ song and other cool stuff for helping the band finance their next album and the completion of their recording studio.
Says Psychostick guitarist Josh Key: “This fundraiser is not just for a new album, but so much more! We’re building a sweet studio; we want to put out new music and videos on a regular basis, so that fans don’t have to wait through long dry spells between albums to hear something new from us. This fundraiser will enable us to make that happen.” Vocalist Rob Kersey concurs, saying, “Having our own studio and the ability to record songs right away will be a huge dream come true for us. We literally have around a hundred or so song ideas that often get put on the back burner, but with this sweet setup we can finally become that recording machine we’ve always wanted to be. This fundraiser along with our amazing fans can help us fuel this machine for more brutal laughs in the years to come.”
Psychostick also plans to release several promotional videos during the course of the Indiegogo campaign, and contributors will also be privy to additional private videos once the album recording process gets underway. Like other fan funding efforts, Psychostick is planning a number of incentive tiers as part of the campaign. Among the items being offered are things such as: a signed CD, custom ringtone recorded by the band, exclusive t-shirt, custom kick drum head, guest list for life, cameo in a Psychostick video, and everything and the (literal) kitchen sink.
Usually touring ninja warriors, the band, just off of their “Blow Your Fingers Off” summer tour and their late summer dates with American Head Charge, will be sticking close to home as work on the new album kicks off. Tour stops over the summer also included Rockapalooza, A2 Fest, Breast Fest Biker Bash, and Dirtfest. In July, they released their latest music video for the song “Sadface Emoticon” (http://youtu.be/ZsqZl3VqoM4), and which followed their video for “Dogs Like Socks,” which was released earlier this year (http://youtu.be/swmuqGWgZCc).
Harnessing their crazy sense of humor and love of all things metal, vocalist Rob “Rawrb” Kersey and guitarist Josh “The J” Key joined forces with drummer Alex “Shmalex” Dontre and bassist Matty J “Moose” to create Pyschostick, a band they’ve coined as humorcore. With hilarious lyrics, heavy riffs, notorious stage antics and high-energy performances, the band has caused millions of laughs around the world and hundreds of mosh pits across the US, often simultaneously, since its birth in Phoenix, AZ in 2000.
Almost 100 percent do-it-yourself, Psychostick never strays from its signature sound, a combination of heavy music that Chimaira, Machine Head, and Hatebreed would be proud of, and wit and humor that would make Tenacious D and Weird Al Yankovic holler with laughter.
With three full-length albums behind them – “We Couldn’t Think of a Title,” “Sandwich,” and their holiday album, “The Flesh Eating Rollerskate Holiday Joyride” – the band released their latest record, “Space Vampires vs. Zombie Dinosaurs in 3D,” in 2011, following it up with a tour with Mushroomhead to add to their total count of 21 nationwide tours that have hit 47 states.
Upcoming Show Dates:
November 30 – The Foundry – Jackson, MI
December 5 – Pop’s – St. Louis, MO
December 6 – The Fillmor – Wausau, WI

About: What started out as a therapeutic venture, solely worked on during breaks from duo Underground Realroad, has turned into a full-out journey for Montreal rapper Big Bricc.
One which served as inspiration for and was documented on his first-ever solo effort,‘The Journey Through the Lower City’ mixtape.
“The music on this mixtape was conceived through my love for hip-hop and the desire to continue pushing the limits of my creativity,” says Bricc. “I speak of my own personal issues and focus less on the global state of hip-hop.”
Describing his first project without Underground Realroad’s second half, producer Drex, as “fun, lonely and inspiring”, Bricc explains, “The Lower City is a symbol of the Montreal culture and the areas of my upbringing, namely NDG, UPTOWN, the Plateau and the South Shore. The things I have done and the places I have lived have all been a direct influence on my life and music.”
All 16 Journey Through the Lower City tracks are best described with one word, though: Passionate.

SlimBzTV has posted live video from Death Toll Rising‘s recent CD launches in Edmonton and Calgary for their new album ‘Infection Legacy’ released in October.
The videos can be viewed at the following links:
SlimBzTV also captured an amazing drum solo by Death Toll Rising drummer Bryan Newbury during the Edmonton launch, which can be viewed at the following link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n5GrneiBdYI
About: Featuring a combination of death and thrash metal, the Edmonton-based band are known to devastate their audiences with their high octane performances that has lead them to share the stage over the years with high profile names such as Kataklysm, Cryptopsy, The Haunted, and Aborted (to name a few).
Originally formed in 2003 in Stony Plain, AB, Canada, Death Toll Rising have been grinding the Western Canadian metal scene steadily, gaining huge momentum over the last 3 years. New addition Tylor Dory on guitars has introduced a technical and progressive element to the band they have not had in the past. Add in the intense and relentless drumming provided by Bryan Newbury (recently recruited by Canadian prog/death powerhouse INTO ETERNITY), as well as the well-rounded rhythm provided by Drew Copland on guitar and Mike Puff on bass, and you get a monster that is only now being unleashed upon the masses with vocalist Jesse Berube topping things off with a combination of brutal death growls and Tomas Lindberg-esqe high shrieks, which will be plenty noticeable on their new album ‘Infection Legacy’.
Full album stream of ‘Infection Legacy’ can be listened on Beatroute Magazine here or Soundcloud here along with being purchased on Bandcamp here.
