Psych 9
The Trip Goes On
Psych 9 hails from Rhode Island USA. The band rips through psychedelic, garage band, hardrock, progressive, jam band rock styles and much more. Their first album, 'The Trip Goes On', showcases the talents of multiple singers and songwriters, resulting in an eclectic mix that is never predictable or boring. The band is composed of Brian "BT" Thomas and John Devault on guitars and vocals, Frank Villani and Mike Meehan on drums and vocals, and Gary Klimala on bass. Psych 9 was the outgrowth of a project by the neo-psychedelic band Plan 9. Plan 9 was formed in 1979 by a beach community of musicians looking to create something different and not having a scene to do it in. Many albums and tours later Plan 9 was inducted into the RI Music Hall of Fame in 2017. After that honor a new album was planned, but band leader Eric Stumpo tragically passed away in 2019. The remaining members decided to continue the music and vibe as Psych 9 with the album 'The Trip Goes On'.
