For 30 years, the Cosmic Psychos have blazed a trail of empty beer cans and busted ear drums around the globe with their Strine drawl and savagely awesome punk rock & roll.
Founding member Ross Knight took sonic inspiration from the bulldozer he used to drive on his family farm and in doing so forged the Cosmic Psychos together with Bill Walsh and Peter Jones. Later, soldiering on after the death of guitarist Robbie Watts (band member from 1991-2006) in 2006 with the awesome Dean Muller on drums and John McKeering (Macka from the Onyas) banging guitars.
The Cosmic Psychos are legendary for their unique sound that resonates with punk rock fans everywhere and count among their fans The Melvins, Kurt Cobain, L7 and Eddie Vedder.
The Cosmic Pyschos Documentary "Blokes You Can Trust" so named after their 1991 album, follows the enigmatic and entertaining Ross Knight - farmer, father, weightlifter, front man and the bloke who rides the bulldozer.
