Astronaut Try-Out at The Kroepoekfabriek Rotterdam

On Friday, April 3, Astronaut will play a try-out in De Kroepoekfabriek before they tour various major stages. Profound, unique, funny and masterful. Dutch indie of the highest order. Astronaut is the singer-songwriter project of Pelle Bast that got out of hand. With his six-piece band and enormous DIY mentality, he has already made it to the main stage of Into The Great Wide Open and Wilde Weide, thanks to their debut album. The Dutch-language songs testify to profundity, but at the same time to naivety in its most beautiful form. They received a rave review for their show at Noorderslag and managed to completely sell out their first own headline tour with the second album 'De Lucht'. Like blood is thicker than water, new songs keep pushing for Astronaut and on the way to their third album, Astronaut slowly works their way up to become your new favorite underdog. **_"Spinvis in a more modern, funnier jacket and also the brother of Lucky Fonz" – 3voor12_** **_"Honking and rattling, somewhere between Roosbeef and Big Thief" – Grasnapolsky_** **_"In the end, it's those masterful lyrics by Bast that also color this album" – Oor over De Lucht_**
