Word is trickling out that the highly influential space alien surf super-group
Man or Astro-Man? is reforming to play a number of shows, including the
SXSW 2010 festival. Drummer
Birdstuff wrote at length about the reunion on the
band's MySpace blog. And finally,
people are reporting that tickets are already on sale for dates in Birmingham and Atlanta!
I am not alone in saying that Man or Astro-Man? was that band that got me into surf music in the mid-90's. The band cut their teeth playing super-charged punked up versions of tunes by
The Ventures,
Dick Dale, and
The Original Surfaris. They later honed their own unique sound and put on now legendary live shows, touring all over the United States and Europe. All hail the return of our alien overlords! Welcome back, we missed you!
