Astronauts of Antiquity Band Letter

August 3, 2009

“The secret to creativity is knowing how to hide your sources”
                    ~ Albert Einstein

Greetings Everyone!

July was insanely busy, exciting but crazy. Now that we made it through and are on the other side we want to share our AoA music video filming experience with all of you through a few pix our friend, Walter took on the set. With an attempt at punk shui, air guitar and lots of faux smoke the six of us surrendered our mugs to the camera for two very long days / nights. Not complaining though. It was a fun, necessary diversion. We are now in post-production and it will be completed in a few weeks. As they say in the studio “ Don’t worry y’all…we’ll fix it in the mix”.

Much gratitude to EVERYONE who helped put this all together!

Note: Black and white stills shot on video location by Paul de Luna.

On a quick note AoA recently signed a distribution deal! “Rocket Science for Dummies” will be in key Best Buys and mom and pop stores all over the country. We will be concentrating on areas where we have strong charting and radio rotation.

Please support independent music by you and your friends downloading / buying one of our cd’s and tee shirt. The tee is really cool in heather grey, black ribbing on the sleeve and neck with red and white Astronauts of Antiquity on the front and white “Groove+Grace+Inner Space=AoA on the back. We wear them all the time plus get loads of compliments about the design.
