Man or Astro-Man?- Destroy All Astromen [Full Album]

[@rockkiller124]

Holy fuck, I think I just found a surf rock masterpiece.

[@ryankramer]

+rockkiller124 You did indeed.

[@rockkiller124]

Ryan Kramer Ayy lmao

[@osawero2293]

My thoughts exactly. Great stuff

[@alanbregovic8889]

i like bambi molesters just a bit more

[@GMovieSeeker]

Charlie don't surf, and neither do space monsters, unfortunately.

[@LuceroLucifer]

these guys fill the huge scfi music hole in my heart. there are a lot of bands that go the whole fantasy route, but these guys are unique and i love them for that.

[@MyPhilosophyOn]

look up "flee the century"

[@ryanstaton8123]

this album holds a permanent spot in my top 10 desert island discs.

[@estebanrc256]

Wow

[@ADogNamedElmo]

what are the other albums

[@bPcrazydave]

Fer sure

[@dreess8085]

Back in the 90s my buddys band "Los Cincos" opened up for these guys a couple times at the Jabberjaw in LA and wow what a show. Really nice guys as well.

[@cepson]

I bought this CD on a lark after I had heard one song on some random Internet radio station, back in the late 90's when Internet radio was a rare and precarious medium. I fell in love with the album instantly. I especially love the cheesy movie references. If any band fits in with the MST3K ethos, this is it. No wonder they cover the theme song. I'm not a big fan of surf music in general, but there's something about this album that hooked me and drew me in.

[@stashmerkin9576]

I did exactly the same thing! I loved the cheesy 50's style art on the cover and then saw they covered the MST3k theme song on the CD. Instant buy!

[@BackwoodSpiritAnimal]

I found this album on CD in a dusty record shop one day and I almost cried. Instant purchase.

[@Suchapill]

Old post but I feel ya! lol These guys are so good its unreall

[@SonicYouth-si8mn]

This album is RED HOT! Holy crap, the perfect out at night hot summer night. A true classic, I know every lyric to every song!!!

[@BuddyRhodan22]

they played in Aachen, Germany in the mid 90s....everyone who brought an old tv set, got free entrance..all tv sets got crashed....great party, great guys

[@scottgeorge4760]

I'm into outer space rock music 👾, a whole lot of fun to hear even Electric Wizard had a space style album self titled .

[@kainnosgoth7336]

Oh hell man they even did a song about the old Toho film War Of The Gargantuas! Man these guys know their pop culture!

[@markhilltaco4079]

I'm sorry guys but I'm only here because of the philosophical concept of a Count Crabula the vampire 🧛‍♂️ crab 🦀. Since learning of concept on this album I've pursued full time the learning of Chinese language and Ginetic CRISPER science as I know only a totalitarian dictatorship is the only place on earth i can legally create such a monstrous weapon. In honour of the creator of this idea please listen to this album during the pending apocalypse whilst you are getting torn apart from blood sucking crabs

[@mrovantes]

Classic album! Saw them live during this era, so awesome.

[@mrgarduna1492]

+mrovantes You mean, anywhere between these centuries : >)P

[@satanslovechild6458]

Saw this show also

[@alexsmith1297]

Rewind about 25 years ago and that was me in the record store. Bought it because it looked awesome, bought four more albums because it sounded amazing

[@certifiedquackhead89]

best compilation album that ever existed

[@brianbradford6570]

Great album, I had the pleasure of hanging out with these guys when they played in my uncles club Tjs in Newport , they came over the house after getting set up and my uncle cooked them a dinner. They all wrote something on the cd cover which i found again the other day it was great to hear it again. Cheers.

[@gronnip]

thanks for the upload man. youre channel is awesome for sampling.

[@gronnip]

+Ethan Babirad and just good music

[@peterotool7892]

Brought this album for 1 dollar simply the best dollar I have ever spent!!!!!!!!!!

[@daveandpentarnowski4517]

Nice...it's like my first bargain bin album was "Davie Allen and the Arrows: Blues Theme", probably in 1968 or so. And 68 cents for a classic guitar album. Check it out if you haven't! You'll thank me once you hear his "powerful fuzztone guitar". :D

[@lbonts]

man, joker’s wild goes hard as hell

[@ChrisN3992]

So I had the bright idea to stick on a video of Adam West's Batman dancing with this album in the background. I thought I'd let you all know and share the magic.

[@scottgeorge4760]

ChrisN3992 I just got here great album ! , my dad was a surfer back in 60's in California . I heard some surfing music growing up . Batman dancing to this. makes sense totally to me dude ✌

[@grahamgibson4921]

Man, just found this album and loving it! I like how it's pretty much all original material and the one song I recognize as a cover (Taco Wagon) isn't a song that has been covered a thousand times before like Miserlou, Walk, Don't Run and Hawaii Five-O.

[@andresechalalarpaz9425]

Increible sonido! Surf spacial garage... lo tiene todo

[@LetsGoGetThem]

Surf Rock never dies

[@comiccommander]

Used to see these guys play at a local bar all the time in my younger days. Always fun.

[@bowietip2782]

Fist fights on the beach. Blood on the sand.

[@Tsureiki]

Man this is good shit. I'm glad I found this.

[@williamwood2032]

It goes good with a yellowtail on the other end. Really , fish hard no tangles & twist ! WOODY is making a big comeback. Sick stuff.

[@jamalcalypse]

once that MST3K theme hit I realized why youtube recommended this to me

[@no1reallycaresabout2]

The beginning of "Intoxica" sounds somewhat like the intro to The Surfaris' surf instrumental "Point Panic"

[@CircleOfTyrants666]

what a record, absolute underground classic

[@francocoscarelli4712]

I forgot this album, and after years it came back. Oh yeah

[@sunlion8866]

257 Astromen down for the count 👊 There will be more 🤖👾👾👾🤖🏄‍♂️🎸

[@JCDealy]

Very Surf - O - Rama. I've been on the wrong planet for too long. Gracias dude.

[@chriskirtz6228]

always loved these guys!!!!

[@juniormullins2521]

bad ass tunes,as long as its from the era,i love it

[@ThalesWell]

Joel Hodgson references this band in MST3K episode "The Soultaker." I watched that episode randomly today, and discovered this band randomly on my KZbin recommendations last week. I feel destiny.

[@edgarrobinson7725]

"Now then, our strategy. We are luring him into a trap where we can destroy him with our deadly lasers."

[@mattman8436]

Loved the whole thing!

[@robbrobb7587]

My friend Carlos played this for me just yesterday what a great album.

[@owenphillips6421]

This is very neat.

[@yatima2975]

I've done a lot of crazy things in my life, but I've never stuck my head into a hornet's nest.

[@todvball]

This is great stuff; my first play-thru

[@spacelizard5280]

I first listened to Surf Rock about 2 years ago at a lo-fi gig in a basement before my friends made me go to this psy-trance (as if we haven't heard enough of that, ouff) party at a college only to be made by the same friends to leave said party 'cause it was too weird for them. Guess what, people do drugs at psy-trance parties. Could have enjoyed a good 30' of more surf rock. It's amazing. My favourite thing about these bands besides the music are the names. So imaginative. "Of Sex & Demise" is prolly my favourite song by MoAM.

[@osland930]

This robot is like an astral Solaire. Praise the sun!

[@defchan1970]

Love this album. Saw this band a handful of times, they got more and more experimental and moved away from the space surf guitar sound but I loved it all.

[@Teeveepicksures]

[@sunlion8866]

[@cjpmugsr999]

There are members of Servotron in this band.

[@danreed7889]

Can't get it on iTunes...

[@kitchen-sink.4090]

I need a plop.

[@mmestari]

Baited by the cool record cover.

[@dgaz3057]

[@PoloniumSmoker]

I reckon that the first track can easily pass off as a black metal tune.

oh fuck yeah! i scored this album in highschool but lost it, could never remember the name, kept trying to search "surf guitar mars" bahah. recognized the cover right away, grateful for the upload!

[@evilgary747]

I just googled "surf music rocket album cover" and it came up on goolgle images.

[@markkil]

did you come across the Hoodoo Gurus' album Mars Needs Guitars?

[@robertklouse3868]

Wild Strat!!!

[@noapprovalneeded2317]

A fantastic blend of garage surf rock and space punk rock. Love that 60's sci-fi vibe too. This is sooo bitchin' dude. totally makes me surf in these streets. A mouth full of exhaust. Shred on.

[@granudisimo]

+No Approval Needed Inland surfing, fuck the sea and the waves when you can use a space armor to surf busy streets and interstelar swamps.

[@noapprovalneeded2317]

totally, I love to shred and surf these streets but honestly..if I lived by the sea I'd surf the ocean too. I'd spend half my day skateboarding and the other half surfing.

[@MajesticSkywhale]

some heroic town needs to make a section of beach paved right up to the water so that we can invent surfboards with wheels that you can ride right onto the beach and skate away

[@ricancira]

basically my music account at this point. go fuck yourself.

[@beholdur6007]

basically my music account at this point. What made you think Ærik is a globalist? All I see him talking about is a skateboard that can be used in the water to surf

[@eh3253]

These guys put on the best live shows. A kid that was in high school in the 90’s appreciates this.

[@JudgeDeeDecides]

Yup saw them with blonde redhead quizzing the crowd on mac keyboard shortcuts at the Bowery… good times

[@AttiCarius12]

For fucking sure. I've seen them live a couple times in Tempe, AZ 20 something years ago. Great times

[@destroybot3000]

My best memories in the 90s are seeing them, the squirrel nut zippers and the ramones and descendants reunion tours.

[@MongoosePreservationSociety]

Squirrel nut zippers!

[@RobynRLiden]

I just clicked for the cover art, but this is a great album.

[@OFFP88]

Same

[@sirknight1574]

Same. Now I'm obsessed

[@Underthegun897]

Jimmy Neutron brought me here. Brian Causey, who formed Man or Astroman, wrote and performed the theme song

[@wokiKoala]

holy shit

[@Wompzalot]

how did i not know this. amazing

[@Bluebird-tj6kb]

Same. When i was a kid i loved Jimmy Neutron's intro so when i found out who Brian Causey was i fell in love with Man or Astroman

[@DesertPunks]

woah seriously??

[@Underthegun897]

Desert Punks yeah

[@JSEPTX]

I love this kind of music. The Mono-Men, The Mermen, Man or Astroman? they are very creative and talented.

[@brianeldredge6035]

leave a few astro men

[@evilgary747]

Not too many....

[@sapien82]

I heard they killed the astromen cus the astrowomen were finer than space dust

[@GothamClive]

It's ok, as long as they leave the astro women.

[@NeivGabay]

Brian Eldredge no!!!! heretic!!!!

[@2312uri]

holy shit, what a flashback...i had to look it up just to hear it again for old times sake... Also, never forget Viva Los Straightjackets!

[@ivantoxie]

I was microwaving peanut butter cup s'mores while listening to thi for the first time and was walking like a camel and then read your comment.

[@KridenZz]

Aaah, yess...

[@tanozturk8698]

Did you know that the prosody in the Arabic and Ottoman poetry is based on the various rhythms of the camel steps.

[@devinmeyers1842]

The adventures of Pete and Pete is how I know these guys. Glad to see people are discovering this awesome band!!

[@goblinzits]

Pretty sure you're thinking of Polaris. The show used Polaris's tracks throughout the entire series. Similar vibe and the timeline matches up, but different band. Polaris is great though, they have an entire album of the Pete and Pete songs.

[@electronkaleidoscope5860]

I'm really glad KZbin recommended this. This is godly.

[@tctjoker4142]

The HolyWafflePowder duuuude same

[@brianjanderson6361]

Love this album. Destination Venus. The only other band I've heard do this was the one and only Rezillos. The whole album is solid. Thanks for posting!

[@BOG0690]

Destination venus reminded me of this lady that i worked with. we sort of clicked and she would frequently hit on me. i never asked her out because i thought she had too many issues. she was hot though and Destination Venus always makes me think of her dancing around naked.........or a bikini

[@davidgo8874]

This band introduced me to surf rock which I had heard before but didn't think much of. Also loved the band Deadbolt, another "surf" band.

[@mhquiroga1917]

holy shit what a hidden gem I'm so glad to have found music that blows my mind, I've been in abstinence lately

[@samuelthestonedape8160]

Muirdoch ard Tiarna Musical abstinence or sexual abstinence? Neither are good for you!

[@fastloudrules]

Man or Astroman were one of a kind in nature which is why they made so many albums with that unique signature they had...but unlike most bands who experiment while they progress it was always a cool new sound with that thing they had as band...that chemistry.

[@BOG0690]

The best chemistry. Its like they all get lost in the music and then they find each other again and THEN the song ends.

[@MrBobzane]

from what I gather from the album cover, Astromen do a lot of lifting and carrying

[@TheLakabanzaichrg]

They have to take boxes out of their space garage before playing.

[@arleydelaroche5430]

I stumbled across this band because they were in a discount bin, and their CD album cover piqued my interest. This was at Rasputin in the Bay Area back in 2012. I am so glad I took this home with me because it is a damn treasure!

[@robertsrecords]

KZbin kept throwing this lp on my Playlist and I finally took the time to really listen. Wow, what band. I have to check out their other albums now.

[@FromTheRoomOfLittleEase]

We used to go see this band, good times. The Mummies were another one of these acts that put on one of the greatest live show you could see in the early 90s. You'd think it was going to be all presentation, but they'd just go nuts and physically confront the audience, it was great. The Scaries were like that, The Woggles... actually Goober and the peas were pretty amazing. Didn't even know who that guy was when he got famous, I mean, that he was that same guy. The early ninties was one of the best times to see live music, most people today don't know how varied the shows really were. You were often peering into the past or the future or both; and it was real like a punch in the fucking nose on a cold morning on the first day of school.

[@empiremonkey]

Yeah! I saw Man Or Astroman in '94 right after this album came out. Just tonight I produced a 60s Batman/Spider-Man Theme medley that sounds like it came off this album. That's why I came here.... I was like 'Oh, man...."

[@mp-pv8nd]

[@stephena.4269]

Why does this work so well with the golden age sci-fi cover art? Nice.

[@The_Mister]

I woke up from a nap in 1995 to an interview on NPR featuring man or astroman...I couldn’t believe what I was hearing - finally something different from the punk of the day, hardcore, grunge...they became my all time favorite band after seeing them live and remain so in 2021.

[@bonsummers2657]

Messer Chups.

[@fastloudrules]

I love sci-fi honky tonk....they don't play music like this on my home planet noise station...bummer for them.
