The Astronauts.

Somewhat legendary amongst fans of the original post-punk anarchist scene, The Astronauts have continued to wage war on the idea of any neat labelling since their inception by injecting heavy doses of folk and psychedelia in to the mix, along with occasional explorations of electronica, avant-garde jazz and opera. Based around the ever-present caustic deliberations and dark suburban poetry of main-man Mark, the band's line up has maintained a healthy fluidity which has kept it fresh and constantly re-inspired. Certainly the only band to have shared a stage with Crass, Psychic TV, Dire Straits and Duran Duran - yes really. The band continue to record, tour and inspire new generations seeking alternatives to insipid pop and stagnant anarcho-posturing alike. Whilst the festival stage is perhaps their natural environment, the band are equally incendiary in an acoustic club or sweaty-rock-hole.
