Synopsis:
Staying Optimistically Cynical- exploring the juncture between activism & psychedelic bliss. With a mixture of music, video and addled raves Neil takes us on a journey through ecstasis, entropy and the grim, seedy underbelly of the psychedelic dinosaur.

Bio:
Neil Pike is the founder and Grand Authenticated Bush Turkey of the Pagan Love Cult inc, probably the longest running psychedelic music group in Australia. Their music moves from old-school folk-rock through hippy pop to a more contemporary electronica. When the other members of the PLC can't be convinced to travel thousands of miles for a gig, Neil puts on his "psychedelic troubadour" hat and does solo gigs. He is a multi-instrumentalist singer-songwriter, videomaker, activist and psychedelic advocate. "The best thing about being the Grand Authenticated Bush Turkey" says Neil "is that only other turkeys take you seriously".
