The band would undergo a few lineup changes before the most popular lineup which included Erik "BD" Johnson on lead guitar, and Mykel (R.I.P) on drums. PSYCHO GYPSY were proudly Phoenix's ONLY glam rock band. Coming off a long succession of local glam bands in the late '80s, Eddie and Tim thought long and hard about ditching the makeup when they formed the group in 1992. It was a time when grunge bands like Nirvana and Pearl Jam had taken over the driver's seat on the radio airwaves and bands such as Motley Crue, Poison, and Guns N' Roses were forced to ride in the back seat. For exactly that reason, Eddie and Tim decided to champion the art of frosty lipstick, glittery scarves, and black eyeliner while performing their style of raunchy and sleazy rock 'n roll. It was very hard to even get a gig. However, it wasn't long before the band "caught on" , and eventually PSYCHO GYPSY had regular "gigs" throughout the Phoenix area. Their rock and roll theatrics and cool tunes landed them opening slots for many major bands of the day, including Poison,Warrant, Cinderella, L.A. Guns, Slaughter, Pretty Boy Floyd, Shotgun Messiah, Tyketto, and Bang Tango, as well as Tuff, The Zeros, Atomic Punks, and many other bands. Venues Psycho Gypsy have performed at included Hollywood's Coconut Teaszer GLITTER GLAM NIGHT and The Roxy, playing shows with other popular Hollywood acts like Revl'on Red,Foxy Roxx, Guttersluts, Peppermint Creeps, and Spiders & Snakes. PSYCHO GYPSY'S main home, was a little hole in the wall in Phoenix called THE MASON JAR. It was there that Psycho Gypsy started a bi-monthly event in coordination with the "JAR's CZAR" Franco Gagliano (75 Cents Kamikazze's anyone?) entitled"The Glam Slam" that to the dismay of MANY, turned out to be a huge success! The band would perform with other glam rock bands invited from across the USA , and between sets they would dj and play music videos on a huge video screen from bands that influenced them, such as Kiss, Motley Crue, and Poison. Past shows have included Foxy Roxx, Guttersluts, Trash Brats, Spiders & Snakes, LA Guns, Faster Pussycat, Bang Tango, Pretty Boy Floyd, Poison, Ratt, Great White, Tuff, Faster Pussycat and Enuff Z Nuff.
