Rising from the darkest recesses of the Irish underground come Astromech. A shining beacon of sonic anarchy and rhythmic disorder, prepare to be mesmerised… Without doubt the
hottest live act on the Northern Irish circuit, Astromech have not so
much rewritten the rule book as set it on fire and pissed on the embers. |
A mesmerising plethora of rumbling, percussive soundscapes, twisted electro funk, thumping beats and sparkling, synth heavy slabs, it is impossible to pigeonhole the band into any one genre. Herein lies their beauty. A 3 piece stage set up of drum pads, live bass and audio-synth manipulation, the live experience is enhanced by interactive visual mixing from on board visuals crew, ‘Motion Monkeys.’ [BIOG BELOW] |

With influences ranging from George Clinton through to New Order, Plaid, Tiga and Coldcut, Astromech stand apart from their contemporaries as they set about re- programming the minds of their captives for years to come. Recent gigs alongside the likes of Coldcut, James Lavelle, Richard Fearless (Death in Vegas) have been accompanied by near structural damage to successive clubs, and rave reviews in the local press. Tracks have been featured on the recent ‘Digital T’ CD (DigitalT), compiled by Phil Kieran, and negotiations are underway for imminent releases. |
