We are happy to report that Calexico have been invited back to Bonnaroo this year! They will be performing on Sunday, June 13. Don't miss it!
It has often been said that Man or Astro-Man? toured in the 1990s more than any other band. Spanning 49 states and over 30 countries, the band played for the greater part of the developed world, and, after 10 years of relentlessly exploring the earth, it became obvious that their research on humanity was complete and they could finally take a long-need cellular rejuvenation in their underground cryogenic center, deep in the lower levels of the Alabama bedrock.
Now, however, the slumber is over and Man or Astro-Man? must see what has become of earth in the wake of their absence. So indeed, for all of humanity, 2010 will be the year of contact, or, at least re-contact with the original space cadets themselves: Starcrunch, Birdstuff, and Coco. In addition to all the scientific experiments and live music demonstrations, MOAM? will host a variety of benefits and charities for earth specimens, predominantly in the human or animal form.
The first opportunity to see them perform will be on March 6th at The Bottletree in Birmingham, Alabama. Later that month, MOAM will play several shows at the SxSW music festival in Austin, TX (March 17-21).
