"It's like Blah Blah meets Yadda Yadda on some kind of drugs" ...or something like that.
Hello, we're Astrohenge. We play heavy metal music.
We can be found in The Unicorn playing for free once a month. Previous guests include Art Of Burning Water, Men Of Unitus, Krampusz, Thumpermonkey, Godzilla Black, and Nitkowski. Come along and see what all the fuss is about, or don't...those are basically the options.
Set the hate to 8...
We have a new DVD available now. 'Thistle' is a collaboration with demented filmmaker Douglas Pledger, and is a bizarre animation that took a year to complete. The soundtrack is mixed by Toshi Kasai (Big Business, Melvins, Tool) and can be purchased from us at gigs, or by emailing us.
