AUSTIN, TX- When you hear the words “Psychedelic Porn Crumpets” together in a sentence, a lot of images may pop into your head at once. They may be sexual images, maybe they’re delicious, maybe they’re trippy, or maybe a combination of all three. However, an image that doesn’t show up is a long-haired, four-person rock band from Perth, Australia. Leading off the Fender Showcase at the Lustre Pearl on my third night of SXSW, the Psychedelic Porn Crumpets somehow managed to bring alive their name through music.

From the start, whatever expectations I had for the set flew out the window. The ‘Porn Crumpets’ terrorized the stage and the audience (in a good way) with a 40-minute head whipping psych-rock performance I wasn’t prepared for. Fuzzed out guitar riffs and scratchy vocals were combined to immerse the crowd with mind-numbing sounds. At times the set felt like a classic rock concert, while at others I was taken away by the dreamy guitars to a heavenly place most likely better experienced under the influence of a psychedelic drug. And that’s really how I believe PPC intends their music to be heard and appreciated. If their live shows don’t convince you of that, then their music videos definitely will. Take for example their latest release, “Hymn for a Droid,” which incorporates neon colors and cartoon monsters onto the bands’ instruments while playing in front of a wild crowd. The band is ‘out there’ but in your face at the same time and I love it.

Their most recent album called And Now For The Watchamacallit, certainly dives deeper into the harder psych-rock than their previous albums, yet it does enough to avoid repetition throughout the 10-track 35-minute record. The hair whipping mentioned earlier was due to some of these rockin’ new tracks.

Overall, I would venture to say that after experiencing the Psychedelic Porn Crumpets live in concert, I couldn’t imagine a better name for the band.
