The Cosmonauts
Dear Reader,
We like playing music. If you like it, that's cool. Let us play your show. If you don't like it, that's not cool.
Love,
The Cosmonauts
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
We started up in January 2004 when Nik, Marianne and Jacek decided to make a band after jamming together one night. Brian played bass at our first official practice, but he didn't seem to like our type of music much. So then David came along on cello. Followed by Katie on stand up bass. We played Art Fest without David and with Matt on drums. He didn't really mesh well with the band so we continued our search for a drummer. David ended up being too busy to be in the Cosmonauts, but we still like him. Then we found Kevin. Kevin isn't a drummer but he's awesome at drums so we decided to keep him. So now the Cosmonauts are Marianne, Nik, Jacek, Katie and Kevin, and they lived happily ever after.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
We've played at Central's Art Fest, the YMCA, Halloween Blaze and basement shows.
Your musical influences
We're all into the same kind of music. We've tried covers of Radiohead, The Mars Volta, Modest Mouse and Interpol. Some of my biggest influences are the Gloria Record, Pavement, Decemberists, Death Cab for Cutie, and other stuff along those lines.
