Astrovan is a group of Seattle musicians representing the four pillars of Rock: Blues, Classic, Metal, and Alternative. And when they collide, they create a deafening sound that makes many a man weak in the knees. Do not be afraid…earplugs usually stop the shaking.
The band formed in early 2009 when Deezer (Triumph & Tragedy) and Sam Damage (3 Inch Max) got together to start a new project. Pooling their talents was the only reasonable decision, so they moved ahead with a fierce determination to dominate the world of rock. They were looking for the best available talent as this was a grand plan of epic proportions.
Says the Astrovan Gang:
And so…Donnie Metro (Dravus, The John Benders, 3 Inch Max, and many more) joined the band bringing his signature Bonham approach to the drums. Children and people with pace makers be warned: His driving beats have been known to crush skulls and cause arrhythmias. Listen at your own risk! Zeke (Holotype, Expiration Date) was the next addition to the project. He is a huge man with a huge sound! Hailing from the icy cold tundra that is Alaska, Zeke is built tough…the rumor is he’s 1/8th Sasquatch. His riffs were so hot, he had to move away, as the ice caps have all been melting at an exponential rate since the time he began playing rock music. It’s well documented. There are even some conservative people who recognize his influence on our climate at large. Last but not least, is Tony Mac (Only Human). His rumbling bass grooves squeeze and push your guts around as if you’re getting repeatedly kicked in the stomach, and he’s the one who’s kicking you.
