   About Astronomers
BUY 'THINK FAST!'

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Astronomers' sound will get you into a groovy zone you won't want to come out of. While Think Fast only gave me a taste of Astronomers, the six songs got me interested. So hurry --- take advantage of this nerdy, trippy combo, get yourself a copy, and blast off into space."
--Erica Creaven, Cavalier Daily



"..one of Charlottesville’s tighter, more cohesive sounding bands"
--Nailgun Media



"We know the map isn't the territory, but these indie rockers come pretty close to charting the heavens with their cerebral, celestially poetic tunes."
--Cville Magazine

"We here at cVillain have been long time fans of the sonic works put forth by progressive indie/dance rock quartet Astronomers. Between their hauntingly full range sound and the 'quantum-related' content of the vocals, they are pushing our expectations on what a band is capable of. A definite must listen for the intelligent rocker in you." --cVillain.com

hey - just now saw your comment.
yeah, it probably is time to post a new one over here, huh? they've been going out monthly to the subsctibers, but I should definitely post another one here.

when you say "in town" - are you talking about Nashville? because if so, I think so.

If you live near Culpeper, VA come check out a new open mic that I'm hosting at The Stable (129 E Culpeper Street, Culpeper, VA 22701 Phone:  (540) 727-2007  ). Come and play some music if you are a musician or just enjoy the music, on Thursday nights starting around 8 pm. Bring your own gear. Small area to set up(about 8 ft.x8 ft.). Hope to see you there.

Hey guys,

great show last night, I had a great time mixing you guys, hopefully we'll be able to get you guys down for a show that'll turn out real good... band you might enjoy playing with (that draws around town):

The Animal Beat

I think a show trade would be in order, they're a bit more straightforward than you guys, but a good band nonetheless.  Hopefully Murphy's Kids will get up to Charlottesville sometime soon to play with you guys!
