About

The Astros

A loud, bombastic, energetic and unpredictable show. One minute we might be jumping around the stage, whipping our hair to a rock song, and then all of a sudden we are dancing to a pop song. We just try to go with whatever the audience vibes with

Listening to The Astros is like taking a trip through a black hole. A combination of cosmic guitar sounds and songwriting, but in truth, even scientists don’t understand how they work.

Based out of Kingston, Ontario, their interdimensional collection of tunes features a unique fusion of vintage groovy rock, with modern indie pop. This odd pairing comes together seamlessly during their unapologetically wild live performances. The Astros are like driving an old muscle car that’s way too loud with its wheels falling off. But that’s a lot cooler than your mom’s hatchback, isn’t it?
