It's an avant garde music band called Psychic Monkey. Although not strictly too weird or experimental, certainly the genre is hard to pinpoint. I would like to keep the music down-to-earth. The type of songs that I can just pick up an unplugged guitar and play and sing anywhere, anytime. As a result, much of the music is devoid of much fancy effects or even any other instrument other than the guitar (mostly acoustic-electric). Based in Seattle, WA. Please read the Band History section for more info.

Lyrics
Do you remember when Our fathers built a sturdy tent To keep us warm Safe from the snow and storm. Slept with arrows on the bed-side Spears on the door-side To protect against the wild. Hours burnt by the fire Keeping an eye on the tigers To protect the family From wily predators. Now we are safe, aren't we Killed the bears, wolves, and lions, didn't we We slept deep at nights Nothing left to hurt us. Is that right? We are safer than ever Nuclear warheads at each other. Under watch at every inch, every corner Flying machines looping..overhead Transmissions of opinions...tapped. Reasons for suspicion. Alarm, motion detectors, lie detectors, Body scanners, and drug sniffers Just in case The beastly men turn on us. We are not safe from our own kind. In this fog, we are blind. We don't know where we came from No idea where we go But we know we want what's left of this And we want it now. Are we safe from our own kind Are we safe from our own kind Are we safe from our own kind? - -
