The group formed out of a need to turn their collective interest in other people's music into new music of their own. In doing so, they noticed that some of those interests were very opposite but nonetheless very fruitful. Improvisation was the method they chose on their first six cd's, but 'Apocalypse has been dubbed the weekend pill' is entirely composed. Still, the similarity and non-similarity in their individual musical tastes, provide the basis for making music. Psychon Troopers have done several live performances in the past. Psychon has decided to be a studio project only.

Apocalypse has been dubbed the weekend pill
Prince's brand of funk, rock according to Guided by Voices, German and British electronica and the free spirit of John Coltrane are but a small taste of influences that make up the new Psychon cd. 'Apocalypse has been dubbed the weekend pill' has been recorded on and off over the last two years. As a result two years of collective musical influences and ideas have been given a place in this music. Freejazz, krautrock, ambient, electronica and arenarock are concurring to remain in focus and while doing so they form interesting hybrids. To give an example: this cd without a doubt contains the most exciting guitarsolo in electronica today. The titles of the tracks on this record originate in spam-mailmessages. With some amazement the members of Psychon have collected the most amazing mail-subjects and advertisements from the world of gloomy pharmacy, penile enlargement and corporate selfhelp-courses.
