Psychotica
Psychotica, formed in 1994 by Paul "ENA" Kostabi and NYC Club Owner
Pat Briggs, were a seminal influence in Industrial Goth, releasing 3 albums
to mixed reviews and varied success. Lead singer Pat Briggs, with
outrageous costumes and antics, paved the way for the mainstream
acceptance of androgynous musicians in bands like Orgy and Placebo.
Psychotica's fame reached its pinnacle of popularity in 1996, as a result of
being on the bill at Lollapalooza with Soundgarden, Ramones, Screaming
Trees and Metallica. Shortly after the tour was finished Briggs moved to
Los Angeles, he and Kostabi went in very different directions and
eventually Psychotica was no more.
Psychotica reunited in 2017 to play some festivals which lead to the band
heading back into the studio to record their 5 th studio album.
