Have You Heard: The Astronaut Headdress

How did you get together? We started as a two-piece just for some fun. There was so much energy and potential we just kept accumulating members and songs and started performing our material. 

Sum up your musical sound in four words? Intense spacey funky rock.

If you could support any band in the world – past or present – who would it be? Personally it would be The Jimi Hendrix Experience. The guys love artists like, Joan Jett, Placebo and The Mars Volta.

You’re being sent into space, no iPod, you can bring one album – what would it be? It would have to be Mellon Collie And The Infinite Sadness, by The Smashing Pumpkins.

Greatest rock’n’roll moment of your career to date? Probably playing at a charity mini festival, Locofest. We organised, ran and performed in the event, raising around $600 for the organisation.

Why should people come and see your band? For something different! We do everything our own way, no genre, no typical structures and no compromise creating our sound.

When and where for your next gig? Supporting Greenthief, Hotel Norville in Toowoomba, 27 Mar.
