Man or Astro-Man? – “Tenth Planet”

November 10, 2021

Man or Astro-Man? have been kicking around since the early 90s as a vital part of the surf revival movement. At this point, they’ve honed their song crafting into something special… Case-in-point, the upbeat bedroom-surf of “Tenth Planet.” Plucky guitar leads, monotone vocal prowess, and space-age lyrics help to give this one a fun energy without losing it’s underlying edge. Fans of the 60s surf scene and new wave heroes like DEVO, all the way to modern-day indie punk like Cloud Nothings and Ceremony will find lots to love here. You can find “Tenth Planet” on Soundcloud below, but also on Spotify and Apple Music. Earth Libraries ยท Tenth Planet – Man or Astro-Man?

Just Announced: Man or Astro-Man?

April 29, 2014

In 2010, the original lineup of sci-fi, surf legends, Man or Astro-Man?, reunited for a series of shows, which ultimately led to last year’s fantastic release, their first in 12 years, Defcon 5..4..3..2..1. Since that time MoAM? has been on a tear, exciting crowds with their energetic (and often unhinged) live performances. Think B-movies, antennas, aliens, costumes, and space, all through a package of pure camp. The best surf rock has to offer. Thanks to the good people at ESI, we’ll have a chance to witness this truly spectacular happening as MoAM? docks their spaceship at the Tralf September 9th($15), along with Vancouver’s The Pack AD. Fun is really the only appropriate adjective here so prepare yourself for the preposterous. And feel free to wear a costume. It’s just as much fun being part of the experience as it is witnessing it.
