The new Astro Al CD
The Purple Mushroom
has grown to completion.
Lots of guest stars on this loving throw back to the 70’s. This particular disc features some fiery space rock courtesy of Brian Fowler. The first song, Ancient Astronauts is full warp drive space rock! Karen Langlie (Wisteriax) weaves magical freaked out cello and Mike Langlie (Twink) plays demented toy pianos. This is a super star guest filled meltdown collection of sounds and tunes. The sonic sci-fi track Frozen Mass clocks in at a little over 17 minutes. Imagine Frankenstein meets the Tell Tale Heart in deepest space and you’ll get it. Freak out baby! It’s on sale on our store page. Eat the mushroom…

So what are we working on now? Well we’re crafting the following musical madness…
1. We’re crafting an as yet untitled Christmas CD. Yes believe it or not we are working on a CD of original holiday music (well some of it is original). We have three tracks complete and more on the way. The holiday will never be the same…
2. There is a split disc with Harts Horn in the works.
3. Ghosts & Ghouls is a horror tune themed musical meltdown that we’re also in the middle of constructing. Got two tracks complete for this one. One track features music by Brian Fowler.
You want more? Isn’t that enough for you???
___________
Our track Ghost Story from the Harts Horn/Astro Al split cd Pet Noizes has been crafted into a spooky video. Check it out if you dare.
Here’s a few of the clips from some of our recent cable tv exploits
*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.
That’s right space kats and spaced kittens. Astro Al has a free tune that you can download. Better yet it’s part of a free online space music compilation that you can download for free (did we mention that it’s free?). We’re happy to be part of the My Outer Space series. My Outer Space is a series of free online downloads that you can play as mp3s or burn to CD. They also include nifty cover art.
Our brand new track Haunted Galaxy appears exclusively as part of My Outer Space Volume 6. Go here to download l
Astro Al infects the internets!
We’re on more sites. Yes Astro Al spreads across the web like the mind altering plague that we are.
We’re now on Band Camp
We’re also on Reverb Nation
and we have a messed up Facebook page which kind of works
