Contents.History Since Genesis P-Orridge primarily wrote the lyrics instead of the music for Psychic TV, they would assemble different groups of musicians together to create the music. The history of Psychic TV can be broken up into the periods of the main songwriter that was working with them at the time.1981–87: Alex Fergusson period Psychic TV was formed with the core membership of Genesis P-Orridge (ex-) and Alex Fergusson in 1981.

Alex Fergusson was a member of the punk/experimental outfit, with whom P-Orridge performed at one point throughout Throbbing Gristle's run. The 'TV' of the band's title contributed the latter half of the name Psychic TV. Similarities can be seen in the artwork for Alternative TV and early Psychic TV releases, with a recurring pastiche on the 'as seen on TV' marketing style. Fellow ex-TG member Peter Christopherson got involved in 1982 and claimed that the 'TV' component of the name was intended to focus on the visual elements of the outfit. P-Orridge once claimed that 'Psychic TV is a video group who does music unlike a music group which makes music videos'. Psychic TV made their live debut in Autumn 1982 as a part of the 'Final Academy', a multi-performance event dedicated to and featuring.

In November 1982, Psychic TV’s debut studio album, was released by and distributed by; its accompanying single, 'Just Drifting', came out in the same year's December., a follow-up to Force., was released in 1983. Lyrics were handled by P-Orridge while the music was written by Fergusson and sound experiments primarily created by Christopherson and Geff Rushton, a.k.a. – foreshadowing the pair's later work as.

Of also contributed vocals.The live shows, such as those given at the famous festival, continued to bear improvised noise elements until Peter Christopherson left the group and Fergusson implemented new musicians. In 1986, Psychic TV began an intended series of 23 live show performances being recorded and released, each from a different nation, on the 23rd of each month for 23 months; though the series was discontinued after 17 albums, it earned the band an entry in. Towards the end of this period Fergusson/P-Orridge completed their third proper studio album, (1988). It was at this point that P-Orridge became interested in the burgeoning and movements. Alex Fergusson left soon after and was replaced by techno artist Fred Giannelli.1988–92: Fred Giannelli period During this period, Dave Ball from Soft Cell, (who later formed the Grid with Dave Ball), John Gosling, engineer Richard Evans and other techno artists released music not only as Psychic TV but also under a variety of fake names.

The idea behind this was to release fake 'compilations' by imaginary artists, creating a sense that a healthy acid house scene existed in the UK. The key studio albums of this period were (1988), (1988), (1990; credited to Psychic TV) and (1992; credited to Psychic TV; 12' remixes of Towards tracks which could be played at 33 or 45 rpm). Almost all of the live shows in this period were based around the songs on these albums. From '88–'90 PTV was very stable as a live unit and did more gigs and touring than any other version of PTV before or after. They embarked on a long tour of the USA and UK in 1988, Europe in 1989 and another long tour of the United States in 1990.In 1990, Psychic TV released the song 'I.C. Water' from the album Towards Thee Infinite Beat as a 7' and 12' single on the 10-year anniversary of the death of vocalist. The sleeve was a hand drawn image of Ian Curtis derived from a famous photograph.In the early 1990s, Vice-President of Elektra Records, Howard Thompson took an interest in signing Psychic TV.

He explained that he was going to take a one-year sabbatical from the music industry and he had been asked to run a major independent record label and he wanted to sign Psychic TV to that label. The label was in fact, Herb Alpert's and Jerry Moss's new imprint Almo Sounds, after the sale of A & M Records. Studio time was booked and Genesis P-Orridge, Fred Giannelli and Matthew Best went into Brilliant Studios in San Francisco to record demos. Four tracks were recorded and rough mixes delivered and were rejected by Almo Sounds. The songs were entitled: 'Snowflake', 'Intoxication', 'E-Lusive' and 'Avatar'. During this period, the band famously performed at events in Oakland.1992–93: exile In 1992, a video apparently created by Psychic TV was falsely presented as evidence of in an edition of Channel 4 TV's.

As a result, P-Orridge claimed initially that they were deported, although later admitted that they decided not to return to England from Kathmanduwhere they and their family had been on holiday after selling an painting to Chris Stein from for US $10,000 which financed the trip. They also spent some time with Tibetan refugees, and instead of returning to the UK chose to go into 'self-imposed exile'. The programme was later discredited, though not before their house was raided by the police and the allegations had been repeated in the tabloid press. They said that they felt they would not get a fair hearing if they returned to England, so the family moved to California. Shortly after moving to the US, P-Orridge underwent a divorce which traumatised them immensely. Most of the output during this period was made up of re-releases of earlier albums, especially by industrial music record labels who released the albums as a 'paying of respects' to the founder of.1993–1999: Larry Thrasher period In 1992, founder of Silent Records, introduced P-Orridge to, co-founder of the mid 80's American experimental noise band Thessalonians. This began a new period with Psychic TV returning to its psychedelic pop roots with Thrasher co-producing and co-writing the critically acclaimed as well as the album 'Cold Blue Torch' and new experimental explorations which centred around the spoken word poetry of P-orridge in releases like 'Thee Fractured Garden' and 'Breathe'.

'Thee Fractured Garden' was a seminal example of this period where Psychic TV blended, samples and sound collages with. This eventually led P-Orridge and Thrasher to the create several offshoot groups and later, which focused on the spoken word and sonic experiments.Other notable releases upon which P-Orridge collaborated with Thrasher were the Electric Newspapers, a series of sample releases that blurred the sampling CD concept with a stream of consciousness listening experience. Material from the Electric Newspaper series of releases (there are six in total, but only four have been released) is mostly taken from the CDs PTV released with Thrasher along with contributors such as and other notable musical allies of this time. The original motivation for the Electric Newspaper series was to ensure that the PTV sample files were archived after the loss of the entire PTV sampling library in the dramatic five alarm fire at the Houdini Mansion on in Hollywood. This fire, which burned down the 18,000 sq ft (1,700 m 2) mansion, left P-Orridge in the intensive care unit at Cedar Sinai hospital with life-threatening injuries after they (along with members of the band ) jumped from their bedroom windows to escape the flames. Results of this event sent P-Orridge on a two-year health sabbatical to recover, during which they were involved in a million dollar lawsuit against, who owned the Houdini Mansion. P-Orridge won the case, but was left with a metal plate and eight screws in their permanently disabled and reconstructed arm.

In 1998 P-Orridge announced that they primarily wanted to move into spoken word, which is when Campagna left the band to pursue his own projects, and turned to focus on with musical line-up of Larry Thrasher and Bryin Dall. Thee Majesty continues to perform to large halls and galleries in Europe playing improvised sound sculpture to mostly improvised spoken word and they released the record Time's Up in 1999. In 2005, the Voiceprint record label in England re-released several older Psychic TV and Genesis P-Orridge albums under the name Thee Majesty, and also a new album recorded with the band Cotton Ferox. Also, a 2005 release, Mary Never Wanted Jesus, credited to Genesis P-Orridge & Thee Majesty featured archive PTV material alongside new Thee Majesty recordings. PTV, as a rock entity, had a 'final show' in 1999 at The in London. This show also marked the end of P-Orridge's exile from the UK.
