Family Ov Psychick Individuals

Family Ov Psychick Individuals (FOPI) evolved out of an international online Psychic TV fan group in the mid 90s. The group first discussed Psychic TV records only, but then started to make collaborative own music. The founding members were Frater Gershom (USA), Edwin Siol (Netherlands), and 23rd Peter (Germany), soon joined by WolF Engländer of Schmerz Und Erlösung (Germany). The name FOPI was used for collaborative projects by any members of the group. Collaboration mostly worked online, but there also were several session meetings in Germany and the Netherlands as well as a live show in Frankfurt, Germany, in 1999. The last collaborative activities were tracked in 2004/05, when FOPI network held a session at Mönchengladbach, Germany, and compiled an mp3 compilation to support Column One, who fell in disgrace after a PTV concert in Poland. The name FOPI was also used as label name by any of the contributors, see FOPI.
