Although sadly I’m clear across the country and wasn’t able to see the first of the Man Or Astroman reunion shows, reports and video are beginning to flood the internet. They played Atlanta last night – here is a report courtesy of the Surf Guitar 101 website (more to follow):

MoonDawg: “Let me be the first to report that the show was excellent! Some early tunes (Invasion of the Dragonmen, Destination Venus), but mostly middle period (Man Made of CO2, Television Fission). Nothing from the post-Star-Cruch era, although btw Trace Reading was among the attendees. The stage was set up at the intersection between two hallways, so it was an odd configuration, but hey. The band was remarkably tight. New spacesuits, new video distractions playing behind them. Word has it that after SXSW they’ll be playing a festival in Spain and doing maybe 20 dates around the country in a series of weekend missions (the band members have day jobs now).”

Agent 317X has a nice report and a bunch of videos on his blog.

Here is a couple of videos already posted on YouTube:
