Man or Astro-man? is an American surf rock group that formed in Auburn, Alabama in the early 1990s and came to prominence over the following decade. Primarily instrumental, Man or Astro-man? blended the surf rock style of the early 1960s like that of Dick Dale and The Spotnicks with the new wave and punk rock sounds of the late 1970s and early 1980s. Man or Astro-man? was known for their anachronistic dedication to science fiction themes, audio samples, obscure electronic devices (such as theremins and tesla coils), and high-energy live performances. Their earlier albums like Is It ... Man or Astroman? and Destroy All Astromen! were known for their traditional surf rock instrumentation and sci-fi sound bite song introductions, but their later albums like EEVIAC... and A Spectrum of Infinit

  • Man or Astro-man? ist eine 1992 gegründete Surf-Rock-Band aus Auburn (Alabama). Die Band spielt primär instrumentalen Surf Rock und Garage Rock im Stil der 1960er Jahre, den sie mit Elementen aus dem New Wave der 1970er Jahre und Punk-Rock aus den 1980er Jahren kombiniert. Inhaltlich bedient sich die Band oftmals bei Science-Fiction-B-Movies der 1950er und 1960er Jahre. So stammt der Bandname von einem Filmposter des japanischen Films aus dem Jahr 1960. (de)
  • Man or Astro-man? est un groupe de rock indépendant américain, formé à Auburn (Alabama) en 1992 et resté actif jusqu'en 2001. Principalement instrumental et inspiré de la surf music, le groupe se distingue par un son noise rock et l'utilisation fréquente de samples extraits de films de science-fiction des années 1950 et 1960. Après une pause de 5 ans, le groupe a rejoué sur scène à Chicago en 2006, à l'occasion du 25e anniversaire du label indépendant local Touch and Go Records. (fr)
  • I Man or Astro-man? sono una surf rock band originaria di Auburn, Alabama. La peculiarità principale di questa band è quella di combinare la musica surf con elementi tipici della fantascienza. È largamente diffusa la credenza che il gruppo si sia ispirato per il proprio nome alla tag-line IS HE MAN OR ASTRO-MAN? del film giapponese del 1960 (il titolo del loro primo album, Is It ... Man or Astroman?, infatti richiama apparentemente questa tag-line). (it)

  • Man or Astro-man? is een Amerikaanse surf-rockgroep, die begin jaren 90 werd opgericht. De groep was oorspronkelijk actief van 1992 tot 2001. In 2005 werd de groep heropgericht en bleef toen actief tot 2006. In 2010 volgde een tweede heropleving. De muziek zit boordevol humor en is doorgaans sneller, feller en harder dan de gangbare surfmuziek. Vanaf 2001 werd het stil rondom deze band, maar in 2006 zijn enige liveoptredens gegeven in de oorspronkelijke bezetting. (nl)
  • Man or Astro-man? (även förkortat MoAM?) var ett amerikanskt surfrockband som bildades i Alabama under tidigt 1990-tal. Som ett överlag instrumentalt band kombinerade Man or Astro-man? klassisk surfmusik från 1960-talet med new wave och punkrock från sent 1970- och tidigt 1980-tal. Kombinationen mynnade ut i en något annorlunda version av genren, beskriven som space age surf. Man or Astro-man? återförenades 2010. (sv)
