Crazed beer metal band Psychostick kicked off the night on the first 2010 Rocks Off concert cruise. The band is currently off on an April - May tour with Green Jelly and Nashville Pussy (tour dates below) and the band's most recent release, Sandwich, came out in 2009.
Psychostick's MySpace profile describes the band as a "Beer is good and stuff band" and this quote fits well with the band's lyrical outlook on life. The band has songs about beer, Jagermeister, first jobs and more - all of which comes off as sort of a cross between The Meatmen and Green Jelly. What is refreshing is that the band's sense of humor doesn't substitute for their music abilities (Hello Shat) and Psychostick has the punk/metal chops to keep their music engaging.
