Psychostick is the dumbest band ever. Psychostick is also the heaviest dumb band ever. Psychostick is dumber than you can be on the dumbest day of your life with and electrified dumb machine. So come bask in the heavy dumbness that only Psychostick can provide!
Why this name?
Robby was half-asleep one night, with visions of candy canes and moon pies dancing through his head. Then, he awoke, stepped out into the living room where Josh was strumming an acoustic, and said, "I thought of a band name."
And it was so.
Do you play live?
Yes, we play live! It is super whee! One time when we played live, people cheered!
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
NO! Labels want to mooch off our happy, and that's not very nice!
Band History:
Once, Psychostick was known as Asinine. Asinine was formed in mid 1998 out of Odessa, Texas, also know as, "The Land of No Future." As time progressed, the band members changed between 6 different people and counting. Well, I guess that means we're picky.

The interesting part is, Josh (currently the guitarist) went from playing trap, to playing bass, then taking the frontman position, and now placed and wholly dedicated as the Guitarist. He cycled throughout all 4 of the main metal band instuments.

The biggest change happened to the band when Marvin, Bozzy, and Steve were left behind by Josh as he relocated to Phoenix, Arizona, where he joined Robby, the new front-man. They don't hold a grudge against poor Joshy, for they also have enough ambition to leave Odessa and venture out to the world of opportunity as well. Which is everything outside of Odessa, basically.

Josh and Robby (mostly Josh) put up flyers and advertised for two lucky (heh) individuals to take the places of DRUMMAR and bass-guy. First they came upon Alex, a snot-nosed little 15 year old guy who's philosphy was, "If it can bleed, we can kill it." But his mentality and intensity was perfect for what they were looking for (not to mention the MADSKILLZ), so Alex took the part of DRUMMAR! A man named Huntar became the bass player.

Later in 2001, Huntar (The Krotch) was let go and went on to pursure his music career with Plane View. Mike Hawk, the crazy madskillz bassist, was hired to replace The Krotch and thangs. Mike Hawk is a guy who like pie. Yeah.
The members are there. The music is there. They have the ability, the intensity, and the stupidity.
