This is a Major Snagg / Big Sleep 'side project', to create and record mostly high power psychedelic type of material (covers and originals). . . Full Tilt Psychedelia . Just as XTC briefly became The Dukes of Stratosfear, so have Tony and myself become The Lykes of Wytch . . . but probably only briefly . . . well maybe not !

Band/artist history

A little side project for just one CD's worth of music . . . or maybe more ? I play all the instruments and Tony writes the lyrics (apart from any covers that we decide to do), sings them and assists in the recording and production!

Have you performed in front of an audience?

No, I used to in a former life ! I prefer the comfort of my little studio;- 'David's multi-coloured psychedelic music workshop'.

Your musical influences

for this project:- The Beatles, The Pretty Things, etc. . . British Whimsical Psychedelia and other bands who dabbled in this genre

What equipment do you use?

Guitars, Basses, Keyboards . . . real instruments recorded in 'real-time'.  BUT . . out of necessesity the 'Drums' are mainly programmed from my now pretty ancient Zoom RT123 drum machine or else put together from any realistic 'drum samples' that I happen to come across.

Anything else?

Don't know but keep watching this space . . . it seems that I was born a decade too late :)
