The Story So Far
One of the finest all original bands on the circuit. Spencer M Taylor and the Groovy Psycho were formed in 2018 around the recording of the second record from Spen’s solo project.
The first ‘Barlow House’ was recorded, mixed and mastered almost entirely by Spen at his studio but for the next record the approach would be different. He would be heading to Nashville Tennessee to track songs to tape in one of the best analogue studios around (Welcome to 1979) with owner Chris Mara, but this time he couldn’t do it alone. Local session musicians were an option but fortunately the help from good friends was offered and after just six rehearsals and one short gig, Spen, James / John (also from Magic Seas) and Jay (also from Apachelux) landed in Nashville and produced the seven track offering ‘5 Days in 1979’. The record was released in February 2019 but promotion was unfortunately brought to a halt after the band played a stunning show (it’s last show for the next 19 months) in March , 2020 at the Hot Box, Chelmsford.
The Covid period did see the release of the remotely recorded single ‘I Would Wake (for you)’ on the 10th of June, 2021 (mixed and mastered by Spen) plus the EP ‘Remote Tracks’ released on the 13th of November 2021 (mixed and mastered by Chris Mara at Welcome to 1979) which was officially launched the same day with a return to live shows back at the Hot Box.
Not only is there a real chemistry when the band record, this subliminal understanding is being displayed in the live performances with the the band delivering professional sets with quality song after song which blend Rock & Pop with a hint (at times) of Country, Blues and Soul.
