EXCLUSIVE: Psychedelic Porn Crumpets sign to Radiohead’s booker
Perth’s Psychedelic Porn Crumpets are in good company on their new UK booking agency, as they join the home of global heavyweights like Radiohead, Arctic Monkeys and The Stone Roses on 13 Artists, TIO can exclusively reveal.
The Brighton-based agency is also home to local heroes including Tame Impala, Alex Lahey, Big Scary, City Calm Down, The Jezabels, Montgomery and Pond.
Guitarist and frontman Jack McEwan said of the signing:
“When we heard 13 Artists were interested we were obviously all stoked. Then when they asked us to join the roster it didn’t feel real,” he said. “To be on the same roster as our childhood heroes such as Radiohead, Arctic Monkeys, and Tame Impala it’s truly a dream. It hasn’t really sunk in yet but now we’ve been given this opportunity we’ll make sure we throw everything at it.”
The band has also inked a local booking deal
TIO can reveal Psychedelic Porn Crumpets have inked a local booking deal with 123 Agency (Tash Sultana, Didirri, Killing Heidi). The move gives the band access to 123’s hybridised business model, where big data, social monitoring and industry knowledge play as much of a role as gut feel.

Incredibly, the psych-grunge rockers only formed two years ago and have since released two LPs (High Visceral Part One and Part Two), sold out both of their national tours, and supported local bands King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard, The Murlocs, Dune Rats, Black Mountain, and Skeggs.
The band are taking the LP’s B-sides on tour this month and have tapped emerging acts like Moonhunter, Danger Penny and Hideous Sun Demon as supports.
