Well done guys!
Hi guys,
Congrats on the speedy recording!!
I was wondering if you have any pre-release copies for sale, as I am set to go back offshore to work on the thursday before your bloomin launch party!! GRRR
If the EP and demo are anything to go by, it should be a corker!!!
The very best of luck
James

Hi James, We've not got the final master yet (should be here this week). I'll try popping one down to you at some point before you go off.
Ah yes... Hayseed Dixie gig... erm, pass. We've not got a scooby doo when we're on. Hopefully find out this week. I'll put a post up when we know.
As I said before,aw the best,I hope ye prove me wrong.
Their coming to take me away.....haha-hee-hee-ho-ho
Is there anywhere in Thurso to get hold of tickets?
10pm sounds a good time to start!
Was in Skins last night, enjoyed the support bands especially the second band onstage - some interesting keyboard/sequencer stuff going on there. I liked. Indeed, that's something I would like to see local bands extrapolate upon in future, if only to break away from the garage band mentality (guitar/bass/drums/vocals playing everything as fast and loud as possible - where's the subtlety and sophistication I ask you?) up here.
Astronot themselves already know their local fan-base, and good luck to them. They have a fair old arsenal of crowd-pleasers that they know they can reel out if needed, and why not? Reel them out they did, and to great effect - not that the lacklustre crowd would have noticed much. The mosh-pit was less than full-flow tonight, but that's no slur on the quality of the songs, or the quality of their deliverance.
But, ultimately their infectious metal/pop choruses and driving drum-beats wins over in the end.
Astronot played very well last night. I enjoyed it, even if the whole evening seemed like a high school disco at times.
Meh, maybe I'm just getting old...

"It makes my blood burn with metal energy..."
Sounds like a good 'un. Must admit am tempted to write an imaginary review in the style of Hunter Thompson. My book Fear and Loathing at the Thurso Open is out next year
Good Night last night in Skin's, thought there would have been a few more folks tbh.
Not too keen for the support bands, good at what they do but not my type of music at all.
First time I've seen Astronot live properly and hats off to them, was a great show!
Damn good sound last night too, roll on May the 16th!
Look forward to playing with the Astronot boys in Skin's in May for a charity gig, should be a good night!
Thanks very much guys, the compliments are well recieved. I think I can talk for us all by saying last night was cracking. We really enjoyed the show. Theatre Fall were superb, delighted to have had them up.
Thought there would've been more in the door, but can't complain, the people who were there seemed to really enjoy it.
Looking forward to the 16th of May too... should be a good un...
Metal/pop... an interesting genre indeed
Yeah, but it was a good crowd all the same
Dates indeed...
April 17th in Motion Nightclub, Inverness (Oxjam event)
April 19th in The Moorings Bar, Aberdeen
April 20th in The Doghouse, Dundee
Hoping to hook something up for the 18th in Glasgow or Edinburgh as well if we can.
