Astrophil and Stella (new songs)

About Me

Astrophil and Stella appears to be a five-piece beat band (two girls, three guys). the styles we play include rock, reggae, country, terrorkitsch & rather independent pop songs, all of which we write ourselves. A&S have been known to twist and shout their way through a couple of clubs and are viewed favourably by the statiks (uk).our fanbase is handsome and sophisticated.it seems we're knee deep in the sixties and the papers say we smoke a lot. ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------ "Es hat sich was getan bei Bonns schraeger Beat Band Numero Uno. Das kettenrauchende, den wilden Sixties und dem (Velvet) Underground treu ergebene Quintett hat seine forschende Studioarbeit mutig und zielstrebig vorangetrieben und entstanden ist ein brandneues Album. Die zwei anmutigen Damen und die drei charmanten Strauchdiebe dieser bemerkenswerten Truppe beschallen schon seit etlichen Jahren vor wachsender Fanschar Bonns atmosphaerischste Clubs mit erleuchteten und einleuchtenden Songs, die stilistisch zwischen Beat, Indiepop und Country rotieren, mal nach P.J HARVEY und mal nach THE RAMONES klingen, hauptberuflich aber einfach nur zeitlos und schoen sind. ASTROPHIL & STELLA erfreuen bei ihren eruptiven und berauschenden Konzerten mit ebenso poetischen wie verwegenen Momenten, das Ganze garniert mit entrueckten Vintage Grooves, das Ohr des anspruchsvollen Nachtschwaermers."(Quelle: bonnaparte.de)
