Astro Al will be playing a semi acoustic set (we dig those) with our good friend Dan Margarita. Dan is a great singer/songwriter and we were in a video for a funny tune of his called Stitches and Nudity.
So what do we mean by semi acoustic? Come to the show and hear it for yourself…

Here’s a few of the clips from some of our recent cable tv exploits

• Yeah so we finished another CD and yes another one is under way already! We’ve already recorded some tracks for the upcoming CD, The Neighbor’s Giraffe and Other Children’s Songs for Psychedelic Adults. This disc will feature some old tunes we’ve never recorded, some freaked up covers of classic children’s songs, and brand new stuff. This is one for the kidz in space or kidz that want to be space.

• The new Astro Al CD Naughty Kitty is here! Go dig the vibe filled 60’s psych fest! This disc is filled with tunes about mind altering lemonade, a zombie wife, ghosts, space battles, flatulence, kinky kitties, and an old guy who likes to sit on a tin can. This cd is a wall to wall psych out. The mighty Brian Fowler  from Spaceseed guest stars on the track Where the Worlds Collide. We hope enjoy this one as much as we do, it was a gas to make! You can buy it on our store page and some mp3’s are available for sale as well. Merchandise based around the cover for Naughty Kitty is available over on the store page to so if you like the cover then wear it loud and proud brothers and sisters.

•The new Spaceseed CD Architects of Twilight has landed in this galaxy! Go forth and check it out here. Paul wrote the words for a lot of the tunes. Super guest stars include Bridget Wishart and Harvey Bainbridge both formerly of Hawkwind. This is a dream come true for Paul as both Bridget and Harvey are featured prominently on one of Paul’s favorite Hawkwind recordings, Space Bandits. Architect’s of Twilight rocks the spaceways! If you dig space rock this is the place to go and get it!  

The next Spaceseed cd might begin production this year with some more words by Paul…
 
*The DNA Players  just podcasted their first audio drama. It’s modeled after the old radio dramas of the 40’s. It’s called Baron Mephisto the Mystic Vampire. We’ve recorded two brand new tunes for the soundtrack, the Dark Hand, and the Violet Viola we’ve also got two rare tracks on there, Eye of the Specter, and There is no Light.
