it appears that whilst psychedelic rock used to be quite mainstream, the focus of the public has moved on, and has landed itself as a niche genre.



Recently, some artists from Western Australia, notably the Sleepy Jackson, The Panda Band, The Silents, Tame Impala and The Panics have experimented with neo-psychedelic harmonies and so on so forth. Sydney bands such as The Lovetones have attempted to recreat the psychedelic-folk sound of the 1960s.
