Astro Al is a B sci-fi/horror movie soundtrack. We are the psychedelic that your government doesn't want you to experiment with.

People often ask us how to describe what we do...
How do you describe the cosmos, emptiness, and stupidity?
We are the Ed Wood of bands.
We try to be fun, funny, serious, and seriously tragic all at the same time.

Why this name?
When we were banished to this planet the robot overlord told us to be known by this name.
Do you play live?
sure from time to time. we play gigs wherever people will let us when we're up for it. as for special moments the free cheese plate we got at the last gig comes to mind. also using our tunes to help raise money to help other folks is really cool. when that perfect imperfect moment arises and everything clicks in a way you never expected is way cool.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
i'm making this page. i don't know how else anyone would have heard of us... i honestly don't think we would have done all the cool things we have without the internet (like playing gigs with Nik Turner, Spaceseed, Harts Horn, etc.)
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
it all depends. i know it sounds all cool to just dismiss a major deal but they have great marketing stuff. now the thing is are they going to leave you alone to do what you want? if so then i'm onboard but if not forget it...
Band History:
when the great riot took place at the intergalactic cinema we were banished to this planet. so here you go. we are a melting wave of zen fu. we are a flower power burning in your brain stem. we are nothing and everything just like you. come and become with us.
Your influences?
hawkwind, robyn hitchcock, jim croce, monty python, nik turner, william shatner, hammer horror movies, japanese monster movies, old pink floyd, ed wood movies, harry chapin, tangerine dream
Favorite spot?
amsterdam, holland and salem, mass.
i think our favorite place to gig so far is the nave gallery in somerville.
Equipment used:
guitars, synths, mandolin, saz, theremin, programs, samples, turntables, whatever we feel like using to make sounds with.
Anything else...?
we hope you dig it. if you don't well go find something you do like and enjoy it.
