Come to Neverland! ETA: I always plug in some Motorpsycho in this kind of threads, because they are one of my favorite bands. So far. nobody has taken the bite. Though we have a poster called @psychonaut which is the moniker for the fan crowd of Motorpsycho, and I’ve always wondered if she/he is a fan.

Though we have a poster called @psychonaut which is the moniker for the fan crowd of Motorpsycho, and I’ve always wondered if she/he is a fan. I’d never heard of the band before reading your post. I listened to the song you embedded and I must say it’s pretty good—sounds a bit like a mash-up of the Zombies and Captain Beyond. ---
