About
Biography " Psychic Hearts is a pure rock machine and a righteous good time featuring one part talent, one part show, and one part enthusiasm…Any band can academically proclaim themselves the best thing on the block, but Psychic Hearts proves it...they are as visually captivating as they are sonically pleasing.” -Flagpole Magazine Bang. Without warning, Psychic Hearts erupted onto the Athens scene in 2004. Their invigorating live show shook the town from its collective slumber. It seemed that with every performance the band injected a new sense of urgency and vitality into the tight-knit music community. Within a matter of months it was clear that this young threesome possessed unrivaled potential. Local press and radio responded enthusiastically to Psychic Hearts' debut "Hands" EP. The band was featured on the cover of Athens' Flagpole Magazine and could be heard spinning on influential Atlanta radio station WNNX, among others. The industry's receptiveness was encouraging and motivating. But no matter what praise or accolades they received, Psychic Hearts never settled. Each successive performance showcased some new sign of growth, whether through song craft or showmanship. Nico Cashin slowly transformed from hard rocking bassist to sultry synth queen. Drummer Carr Chadwick's thunderous style went from impressive to extraordinary, and singer/guitarist Matthew Rain came into his own as a formidable front-man. Psychic Hearts made their festival debut in the summer of 2005, performing on the prestigious “Locals Only” stage of Music Midtown in Atlanta. That year over 400 local artists submitted applications, and Psychic Hearts were one of only 14 acts selected. They had the honor of sharing the bill with such internationally acclaimed acts as The Pixies, The White Stripes, and Interpol among others. Weeks later they were asked to play at an exclusive after-party for the Atlantis Music Conference. They were also handpicked by One Little Indian Records (Sigur Ros, Bjork) to perform at their CMJ Music Festival showcase at Tonic in New York. As 2005 came to a close, Psychic Hearts teamed up with Athens upstart label White Like a Raygun and prepared to head back to the studio. This time they traveled to Sweet Tea Studios in Oxford, MS to record with renowned producer Doug Easley (Sonic Youth, White Stripes, Iggy Pop). The band was thrilled by Easley's masterful techniques and advice. The single (and accompanying b-side, "Delicious") were recorded using all live tracks-- no protools tinkering involved. Easley was likewise eager to praise the band, saying he was "impressed with their focus" and willingness to experiment. Psychic Hearts are currently touring in support of their 7-inch release. Look for their first full-length record sometime this Fall. In the meantime, Georgia residents can catch Psychic Hearts' feature on Comcast Bands on Demand with Jay Harren! Read more on Last.fm.
