Anyone know the name of the tune they did last at the T&G 25 (building up to the tesla coil)? I'm trying to find what album it came from. Lil help here?

Miracle of Genuine Pyrex from the 1000X EP.
Before they recorded that song, they'd engage the coil to Principles Unknown, at least the times when I saw them.

Thanks. I have 1000X, only put it on a few times and figured this track wouldn't be on it since I remember lots of 'standard' rock songs with vocals on this one.... maybe its just that first or second track. I'll go ahead and give it another listen.

For some reason, I managed to not be turned on by this band. I always sensed that I should like it, but I never gave them a fair shot. Tell me please, where would any of you suggest I get a start on this band? I really would like to learn to appreciate them. Sorry for the hi-jack.

The only one I own is this one

'A Spectrum Of Infinite Scale' (linked above) is one of my favorite records of all time.

Destroy All Astro-Men and Your Weight On The Moon are also classics in my book.

I only vaguely remember them playing.
I may have gone to see "them" when they the "cover bands" touring for them.
I don't remember.

Played the shit out of them at the barbeque last saturday.

I love this band.

Man... or Astroman? are one of the best bands ever.

"spectrum" is awesome.
even the printer song.
so is the live album "transmissions from uranus" and "Eeviac" is great too.

I actually like the later stuff more than the early stuff i guess.
thats pretty rare i guess.

I mentioned them to a friend of mine the other day in passing and he told me he roadied for them here in Australia.
the tour was with You am i and some other band.
iIdidn't even know they ever toured here and never saw them... shame.

Yeah, the drummer and one of the guitar players. I saw them once at a Chunklet-sponsored laser tag show. After the band played (or maybe it was before,) the audience could challenge them to a game of laser tag.

MoAM was fun live but I got burned out on them pretty fast. Of course, they played here every other month it seems while they were around. Rob, the bass player ("Coco",) lives in the neighborhood by mine and was heavily involved in the biodiesel movement last I heard.
