The Young Astronauts were an all-girl band from Albuquerque, New Mexico. They formed in 1994 during the summer before their senior year in high school. Before parting ways at the end of 1995, they recorded a full-length cassette tape and played a handful of all-ages shows and parties around town. In 1995 they opened for Dub Narcotic Sound System at Backdoor Music. It was then that Kim met Calvin Johnson for the first time.
Kim went on to form the All Girl Summer Fun Band (AGSFB) after moving to Portland, Oregon. AGSFB has released 2 albums on Calvin's label "K Records".
Sadie moved to New Jersey and formed the band Kurtzi, since dissolved. Sadie currently resides in New York City where she collaborates with the Magnitude Brothers and continues to write songs for her cyber band, East Harlot and the Hazard Hollow - she longs for the comradory of a real band.
Jana also resides in New York - she is a giver, a helper and a fine artist. The three ex-band members stay in touch and have remained close friends.
