The Profile

Man or Astro-man? are an American surf-rock group formed in Auburn, Alabama in the early 1990s. They fuse instrumental surf with punk energy, analog/electronic textures, and a persistent sci‑fi fixation, from B‑movie samples to lab‑gear stage props. Key releases span Experiment Zero (1996), Made From Technetium (1997), EEVIAC (1999), A Spectrum of Infinite Scale (2000), and the comeback defcon 5...4...3...2...1 (2013).

Formed in Auburn, Alabama; American surf/garage outfit noted for ‘space‑age surf’ aesthetics, heavy use of sci‑fi samples, and retro‑futurist stage gear. Released on Touch & Go (e.g., 1000X, 1997). Members referenced in reviews include Star Crunch, Birdstuff, and Coco the Electronic Monkey Wizard. Returned with defcon 5...4...3...2...1 after a long studio hiatus.

An American surf-rock unit from Auburn, Alabama, Man or Astro-man? fuse twangy instrumentals, punk energy, and sci‑fi ephemera.
