Sound Series: Psychic TV / PTV3

The Warhol welcomes Psychic TV / PTV3 for a rare performance at New Hazlett Theater. Fronted by performance artist, Genesis Breyer P-Orridge, Psychic TV (born out of Industrial Music pioneers, Throbbing Gristle) made highly innovative and provocative music from the early 80’s to mid-90’s, blending elements of psychedelia and dance with Industrial sounds (known as “hyperdelic”).  In 2003, drummer Edley ODowd of the legendary NYC rock band Toilet Boys persuaded Genesis to rekindle her rock spirit and Psychic TV, which became known as “PTV3”.

In celebration of the 30th anniversary of Psychic TV’s acclaimed second album, Dreams Less Sweet, this special performance will be preceded by the debut screening of Psychic TV: Dreams Less Sweet, which features the work 47 artists, creating a collective film set to the album.
