Xybor and the Cosmonauts come from the planet Kaelon in where you call the Andromeda galaxy. We are on an intergalactic tour (ta daaa!!) and came to Prazoloog (Earth) to check out the music scene here (two droobgongs way up!!). We are: Xybor -- zingstok (vocals); Gleek -- quaznip (guitar); Zoink -- blazergonk (bass); Fizzgig -- kapongdong (percussion); Pakadook -- deebledoip (keyboards and unearthly sounds)
Why this name?
Xybor thought it up. We were going to call it Gleek (me) and the guys and the girl, but he said he would not sing anymore if we did not use his name. And you know how hard it is to find singers. He's a bit of a gakkle floorg (prima donna), but basically a nice glork.
Do you play live?
Of course we are alive. Did you know we were actually the band in the original Zataar Warzip movie, where Duke Babbledoker fought with ObtusWanaWowo (I was playing the feezeldong). We are currently on tour in Serginok Quadrant 6, but will be back on earth in December. Our manager (Baphod Beeblebronx) is booking our gigs. I'll let you know where we are playing.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
eh? ummm, I think, ummm, the music industry likes MP3s as much as they like a hole in the bondergleek. It gives artists (like us) access to a broad, intergalactic audience (you) that we would never have otherwise. Now if we can only figure out how to make blandorks doing this.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
If it means no more brown M&Ms, and we get hot and cold running xanderbloots, sign us up!!
Band History:
We have been playing together for five zlingdorks. I met Xybor in jabanuz (college); we were both art students studying blonks, blorks and the ensuing chaos. We began collaborating on music and playing in queffan dooglegorks. Zoink and Fizzgig began hanging out, and Pakadook joined when Fizzgig couldn't play the deebledoip anymore with his third foot (kept losing his balance). Since then we have been touring, writing music, and living the lives of poor glack & quark stars.
Your influences?
Flink Poyd, the Beat Lips, Dyles Mavis, Avid Owie, Medeski Martin Wood (this guy is wayyy out there), Chas Dingus.
Favorite spot?
Kaelon prime (home), Andromeda 7, the Spock Nebulla, Sedna
Equipment used:
Blooks, bloorks, klingernerfs ... we use whatever works. I even used a Flender Helemaster on a lead once (if you can believe that). It sounded like two gaffledwonks in heat, but worked in the song (Watching the Watchers).
Anything else...?
I just want to say listen to the music and enjoy it. We worked hard to make it and would be happy to know it puts you in your comfy place (say ahhh...). Oh, yeah, send us blandorks! We need to eat!!
