Vickie here. I'm weird, but I'm not crazy. Lest anyone think
that I was lying through my teeth when I posted to gaffa about   
the Psychowelders, and the fact that anyone other than me even
knew who they were:

vickie asked me to describe the psychowelders cd when i got it. well,
i did, so i am. for starters, two comparisons: caterwaul and hetch
hetchy. rhondda francis's vocals are more understandable than betsy
martin's though. and the music is a little less frenetic than cater-
waul. however, the bass playing is strongly similar to linda from 
hetch hetchy - a kinda rolling and deep that strikes a chord in my
heart. i think i mentioned the phrase "in your face rock" before. 
that is not quite accurate as psychowelders are not a "classic rock"
band by any stretch of the imagination. i was trying to capture the
feel of their music which *needs* to be played loudly. musically
though, it is subliminal and intricate - it feels like a woven cloth
in your ears (um, i don't think i can explain that, but i can imagine
the band standing before a loom while producing this record).

in a word, it's excellent. if you like caterwaul or hetch hetchy, this
is a definite must-buy for you. 

it can be ordered from her directly (for $10) by sending a note to:

	rhondda francis
	3815 walnut #1 south
	kc, mo 64111

if you want to use a credit card (mc/visa), call 800/432-7639 (though
it costs $12 plus postage this way).

incidentially, the cd is a collector's edition with a homemade insert
that is absolutely gorgeous.
