The Mau Mau’s

The Mau Maus, also known as The Mau-Maus, are an American punk rock band from Hollywood, California. They were formed by lead singer and sole constant member Rick Wilder in 1978 following the breakup of the glam rock and proto-punk band, The Berlin Brats, in 1976. The band is closely tied to the late first-wave punk scene in California. Their signature song, “(I’m) Psychotic,” was first performed by the Berlin Brats and appeared in a scene in the classic stoner film, Cheech and Chong’s Up in Smoke (1978).
