Man...Or Astro-Man?

Man or Astro-Man? presents an extraterrestrial-themed rock-band premise: a group of aliens lands in Alabama, disguises itself as a rock band to blend into human society, and uses music to travel the world while conducting research. The band’s origin story connects its adopted Alabama home with the state’s associations with jazz innovator Sun Ra and rocket scientist Wernher von Braun.

Light Beams is also on the bill for this performance.
