The Astronauts - Live at Rebellion Festival 2011

Regular readers will have guessed that i'm a big fan of the seminal anarcho acid-punkers The Astronauts thanks to Joe Davin (an Astronaut) & Marcus Blakeston (for his excellent recording) here is their blistering set from this years Rebellion festival, 40 minutes of new tunes and a few classics from their back catalog. They played on the Bizarre Bazaar stage alongside Captain Sensible, Here And Now, Alternative TV, Andy T & Tv Smith. The band are busy preparing to go into the studio in september to record a new album, until then their seminal debut LP ' Peter Pan Hits the Suburbs ' has been re/released and you can grab a copy here.

The first one is Bodies in the Bath. Not sure about 5, I think it's actually the second part of Fly with some clapping in the quiet bit.

I'll have a go with the accoustic one over the weekend, but I messed up the audio settings so it will be quite rough. There was a few new songs in that too.

Bloody hell,this is great stuff!! Thanks a bunch. Don't suppose you have a recording of the Here & Now set from this festival?

looking forward to hearing this someday......it looks very tasty.....xx

I did record the Here and Now one as well, but for some reason Keith the Bass doesn't want it blasting around the internet. Maybe you could convince him to sell it on Free Love Records or something.

Great fucking post! Heresy what a brilliant track. Mark Astronaut is a total legend, proud to have known him for over 30 years, during which time he's stuck with it, no matter what, flying in the face of fashion and styles, a real punk rocker, not that Mark would describe himself as that. Nice one to all concerned to making this available on the old t'inter net.

Excellent sets, they both were.
Marcus, did you by any chance record my set? Would love to get a copy if you did. Cheers, Andy T.

Marcus Blakeston said...

I meant to record yours, but I went out for some chips and forgot.
