    The show features live music, dynamic video, 3 stories of scaffolding, a 40' radio telescope,

    Astro-rama was filmed over 2 chilly nights in October 2008 at Pittsburgh's Schenley Plaza.

    “The brainy, bold music-and-performance ensemble is once again daring to go where no performance art has gone before”
    - Washington Post

    “a roman candle, one that happens to come with a rhythm section.”
    - City Paper

    “The Biggest, Baddest, Boldest Squonk Opera Yet”
    - Pop City

    “an American, terrestrial and perhaps galaxy original...a unique mix of geek and polish, eccentric design and mocking wit”
    - Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

    “hybridizer of art rock and performance, and expert at blending surrealism, high camp and careful craft for the masses”
    - City Paper

    Hope to see you there!
