"Debut Matinée single from a relatively new English band
featuring Stephen Maughan (ex-Bulldozer Crash and creator
of the legendary This Almighty Pop! fanzine) and Geoff
Suggett (ex-Lavender Faction). Following previous releases
on the esteemed Motorway (Japan) and Firestation Tower
(Germany) record labels, Kosmonaut mark their debut US
release with great new tracks "Desert Song" and "Bee Song"
on opposite sides of a beautiful 45 rpm slab of vinyl.
With superb melodies, vocals reminiscent of early Creation
Records bands, and a harmonious arrangement, these multi-
layered guitar pop gems are a soothing tonic. Limited to
1000 copies."

Everything seemed to go well and it was mutally agreed
to have been a better performance than the debut in
Nottingham back in August. They played 7 songs and a video
of the performance was recorded to be used in a video they
are currently making to accompany the Desert Song 7".
