Can’t Get Enough: Astronautalis
Like the hooks Beck generates? Like the vocals of Tom Waits? Well, merge the two together, add intelligent free-style into the mix and you have yourself Astronautalis. The act is just one man, Andy Bothwell. I had the pleasure of seeing Andy perform at SXSW this year, it was just his lonely self and a laptop on stage but he put on one of the most engaging performances I’ve ever seen. Andy commanded the crowd like a goddamn dictator and then made them feel like shit for not being as talented. Don’t stand too close to him during the show though, spit WILL hit you.
Astronautalis has plans of releasing a new record in 2008, but for now check out his stuff on MySpace. Catch a video of Astronautalis performing after the jump…
The video above is Astronautalis opening up for Bill Callahan at The Orange Show in Houston, TX, April 18, 2007. An odd pairing I must say…
