Künstlerbiographie Sister Psychic
Around The Mid To Late 80's After Graduating From SUNY In 82' Coming From Garfield High School East L.A A Small Indie Rock Player Andrew "Andy" Davenhall Moving Around From Seattle And New York For His Musical Interests Had Been Exploring Rock For A Long Time Now. Having Traveled Across The States From California To New York He Had Picked Up A Lot Of Influences That Would All Conjugate Into The Alternative Grungy Indie "Folk" Rock Band "Sister Psychic" Presumably He Started Around 84-85' As First Record Evidence Shows Him Performing Drums On A Christmas Release Titled "Christmas In The Northwest" With An Assortment Of Other Artists Presumably A Few Connected To PopLLama Records. This Is Where 'Andy' Would Help Pop Rock Band "Pure Joy" For Their 1989 Release "Carnivores" Where "The Band Then Stripped Down To A Three-Piece With Andy Davenhall Taking Over On Drums" Along With Andy Writing Some Of The Songs Directly. He Would Go Onto Contribute Towards 'Pure Joy's 1989 Releases "Carnivore" Their Self-Titled Release "Pure Joy" "Fatbald" And Then Their Final Release Till The Mid 90's "Now I Know" In 1990. About A Year Later When "Pure Joy" Disbanded As Claimed By "Allmusic.Com" Though Not Listed Anywhere In Contributions To The Band Andy Would Go Onto Help Another PopLLama Band Novelty Pop Band "The Squirrels" For Their 1990 Release "What Gives?!" Which Would Get Him Some Further Contact And Support In The Label. One Small Thing To Note Is That He Did Go As A Member Of A Band Called "New Urban Age Squirrels" Also Claimed By "Songtrader.Com" And He Did One More Release For "The Squirrels" For Their 1998 "Scrapin' For Hits" Doing The Drums. In PopLLama This Is Where Andy Would Get In Touch With Chris Hanzsek A Major Help In Producing The Soon To Be Releases For Sister Psychic. For The First Few Test Runs Sister Psychic Would Debut As Doing Live Performances And Takes On Already Existing Songs Like "Lucifer Sam" Along With Him And A Couple Of Buds With The Support Of Restless Records Bass Player "Christian Fulghum" And Ryan Michael Vego Featuring On Andy's Drumset Would All Come Together Across Several Music Studios Such As 'Word Of Mouth Studios' 'The Music Source' 'Robert Lang Studios' And 'Hanzsek Audio' They Would Make Their 1992 Debut Album "Fuel" The Story Behind Fuel Is An Intriguing One. Andy And His Band Are "Grunge-Refugees" In Which They Differentiated From The Main Time Sound Of Seattle And Didn't Do Too Well. Quote From The L.A. Times Archive From April 11th 1994 "If You Were To Map The Seattle Rock Scene By Its Commercial Impact You’d Have To Say That Andy Davenhall Came Up On The Wrong Side Of The Tracks." "Not That Davenhall Didn’t At Least Sniff Around A Mine Or Two That Held A Big Strike. In 1990 He Auditioned For The Open Drum Chair In The Pre-”Teen Spirit” Nirvana. Dave Grohl Got The Job And Davenhall Got The Notion That Maybe It Was Time To Start A Band Of His Own." "Sister Psychic Which He Launched In 1991 And Fronts As Guitarist Lead Singer And Main Songwriter Has Issued Two Contrasting Many-Faceted Albums That Showcase Both A Sure Pure-Pop Touch And An Ability To Rock With Noisy Authority. The Generally Dark Cast Of Sister Psychic’s First Album May Have Fit The Prevailing Emotional Tenor Of Seattle Rock But Davenhall Says Fashion Had Nothing To Do With It. “When I Wrote ‘Fuel’ I Was Going Through Some Fairly Heavy Personal Stuff That’s Reflected On The Record ” Davenhall 30 Said By Phone Recently From Seattle. “I Lost A Girlfriend To Heroin. She’s Still Alive And She’s Doing Well Now Living In Colorado. But It Was A Fairly Miserable Time Of My Life. . . .” The Credits Go As Follows The Cover Is A Photo Of Ed Wicklander's "Bile Torso" And The Picture Was Taken By Lynn Hamrick Additional Artwork Was Made By Vego And The Design By Pat Dillion. The Audio Engineers Being Brain Nelson And Chris Hanzsek.
The Harmonica Was Played By 'Andhi Witherspoon' Who Also Appears On 'Alcohol Funnycar' As Drums. Right After This Small Release He Would Make A Single On The "Lucifer Sam" Cover He'd Done A While Back Live In 1991 Along With Previewing A Song From The Next Album Called "Little Bird" Made Along With Peter Lansdowne Produced And Mixed By Jack Endino. These 2 Tracks Would Differ From The Harshness Of Fuel And For Good Reason Too As Their Next Release In 94' Would Really Delve Deep Into The Themes They Slowly Developed With This Small Release. Following The 1992 Release And As The L.A. Times Article Described For 1994's "Surrender You Freak!" Davenhall Took A More Lenient Approach To His Noisy Rock Influences. Quote From The Article "Sister Psychic Expands From A Blasting Trio To A Nuanced Quartet Cleans Up Most Of The Extraneous Grit And Casts Its Lot With The Enthusiasm And Wistfulness Of Pure Pop." Having Gotten All His Horrible Feelings Out Of His System Through Those Harsh Songs Davenhall States “I Didn’t Want To Stay Dark Because I Think I’m Fairly Complex And I Want To Show Different Sides Of Me And Express Them Through Music. I Really Don’t Want To Get Pigeonholed.” Then Moving To Seattle From Upstate New York During The Rise Of Grunge He Would Encounter "a Scene In Which Pop Was The Dominant Alternative-Rock Flavor. Then The Grunge Movement Arrived Focused On The Independent Label Sub Pop." Where Then In The L.A. Article He States 'I Think In The Early Days There Was A Bit Of Friction Between The Pop And Grunge Camps . Seattle Was Just Full Of Pop Bands Then Sub Pop Came Out And They Were Just That--The Sub The Anti-Pop. If Anything We Created A Backdrop For Grunge. I Enjoy That Music A Lot But I’m Not Going To Limit Myself. Why Be A Lemming?'" During The Production Of 1994's "Surrender You Freak" He Goes On About How Society Had Largely Demeaned New Upstart Coming Bands And Or Bands Completely Changing Their Sound Quote Again From The L.A. Times " The New Album’s Title Was Inspired By The Long Odds Facing Any Emerging Band That Hopes To Make A Living Playing Original Music. 'It Has To Do With The Struggle Between Trying To Make It On Your Own And Surrendering To The Norm To Society As We Know It ” Davenhall Said. “It’s Society Yelling At Us To ‘surrender You Freak Get A Real Job.’ ” Paying No Attention He Recently Quit His Day Job In A Music Store. “I’m Just Now At The Jumping-Off Stage And I Think I’m Going To Do This Professionally ” Davenhall Said. “Or I’m Going To Try To.”" Analyzation Of This Greatly Matters To Understand The Huge Difference In Sound From "Fuel" For All The Folk And Smaller Pop Influences Gained From Travelling Across The States Have Made Him Realize These Things. There's More To Creativity Than Sticking To One Genre And Be Creative They Did. After Releasing "Surrender You Freak!" It Was More Of A Local Commercial Success Than Fuel Though It Was Just Barely Making Enough Copies To Render A 3rd And Final Album From The Band. This Is Also When Christian And Vego Weren't Credited Presumably They Were Off The Band As New Members John Fleischman Pat Pedersen And Presumably Mark Hoyt Had Joined In A Few Songs On "Surrender You Freak!" This Is Where We Come In For The Production Of The Ride We Now Call "Catch & Release" Sister Psychic's Final Release. Now This Is An Odd Case Because Not Much Has Been Documented About Record Only A Few Copies Being Sold And Seeing As How This Flop Ended The Band There's Not Much News Or Press About It Anywhere. Notable Of Which Is That Andy Would Still Continue To Be Active Creating "The Lawnmowers" In 2002 And "The Diving Bell" In 2012 With Christian Fulghum And Creating A Soundcloud Later In 2014 Where He Would Upload 2 More Unreleased Tracks From "The Lawnmowers" Supposedly.
