Biography of Man or Astro-man?

Man or Astro-Man? are four college kids from Auburn who play some of the most pristinely crafted surf instrumentals since the 1960s. Formed by CoCo the Electronic Monkey Wizard on alternate-universe bass, Birdstuff on traps, Star Crunch on guitar, and Dr. Delecto & his Invisible Vaportron on bass, the group released their first full-length album, Is it...Man or Astro-Man?, in 1993. The band found time to put out a new 45 record practically every other week in addition to full-length releases like 1994's Destroy All Astromen!, 1996's Experiment Zero, and 1997's Live Transmissions From Uranus. The themes of the tunes usually run the gamut from spies to sci-fi. Dexter X later replaced Dr. Delecto, and Star Crunch left the band as well. The collection Beyond the Black Hole was issued in summer 2001. It also featured three brand new tracks. ~ Matt Carlson
