They hail from the land of beer, dust, and bulldozers, and they sound exactly like them. The Cosmic Psychos have been the uncrowned kings of Australian pub rock since 1985. Raw, hard, brutal, and honest. So put on your work boots, throw back a beer, and come to Patronaat on Thursday, April 16th.

What once started as three mates who preferred making music to working has grown into a cult band that commands worldwide respect. From grimy Melbourne bars to the big festival stages with Pearl Jam and Mudhoney, the Psychos simply keep doing what they do best: partying, drinking, and laughing.

With frontman Ross Knight as a farmer-philosopher on bass and vocals, the band has been blasting their heavy, garage-rocking punk out into the world since the '80s. Their influence on bands like Nirvana and the entire grunge generation is undeniable. Yet, the Cosmic Psychos always remain true to themselves: hardworking, hard-rocking Aussies with mud on their boots and a pint in hand.
