::ASTRA Bio
Like a heavy hammer onto anvil, down from Ether's starry meadows, the sounds of ASTRA are engulfing this planet Earth. With their heads floating in the mist of Europe's original psychedelic and progressive eras, the boys formed under the winter sun of San Diego, CA in the year 2001 as Silver Sunshine. They released their SDMA-nominated, eponymous debut album in 2004 on Empyrean Records, followed by "A Small Pocket of Pure Spirit"(also nominated) - their evolved EP in 2005 on the same label. With the departure of original Silver Sunshine drummer Iain Andrew Sclater, and the joining of new drummer/multi-instrumentalist David Hurley in 2006, their sound and direction has evolved and grown. They have decided to change their name along with their sound and lineup and are now known as ASTRA. With the recent joining of guitar wizard/multi-instrumentalist Brian Ellis, the planets have aligned and ASTRA is now complete. They've toured the west coast of the U.S. twice and shared the stage with many friends like: Dungen, Winter Flowers, Earthless, Jennifer Gentle, Jana Hunter, Bigelf, Saint Etienne, Persephone's Bees, Entrance, Titan, RTX, The Black Keys, The Sunshine Fix, All Night Radio, Green Milk From the Planet Orange and DMBQ to name a few. So what's on the horizon for ASTRA? Richard Vaughan (guitar/mellotron/vocals), Conor Riley (guitar/mellotron/arp odyssey/organ/vocals), Stuart Sclater (bass), David Hurley (drums/flute/various noisemakers) and Brian Ellis (guitar, moog) are releasing their debut full length album entitled: "The Weirding", on Rise Above Records in May of 2009. They're also planning to tour the U.S. and Europe so stay tuned for further details.

но главное не это.
главное тут музыка
давно лежал у меня на диске альбом сих товарищей, да всё мне было не досуг как-то...
и вот, буквально позавчера я решил расслушать их...
Astra - тотальный арт\психоделик рок ревайвал из 70-х
возьмите ранний Пинк Флойд СидБарретовского периода, добавьте щепотку Саббатни с Оззиком и умножьте на композиторское мастерство самих музыкантов
потрясающий мелодизм
, ретро-аранжировки, медленный темп композиций
, космические путешествия гитары и клавишных, вокал по арт-року и средняя продолжительность 15 минут/вещь. При этом никакого дрочева или левых отходов от темы, всё отдано господству мелодии, целостности и атмосферы.
МАЙСПЕЙС
заношу релиз в топ-2009. тут без вариантов.

сабж можно было запостить равно как в рок, так и в психеделик экспириенс. решил постить в последний ввиду налёта элитарности и отсутствия инди в оном

В астре такого нет. Все эти чувства уже были где-то. Я уже сыт.
". Это как наркотик. Я думаю многим людям уже недостаточно обычной злости. И теперь это всё абстрагируйте на астру. Мне просто влом соображать и писать.
