Astronauts(3)

:(This page is about the German band. For the British group of the same name, see Astronauts. For the Jamaican group of the same name, Astronauts(2)).
The Astronauts were a German surf instrumental band from Bielefeld, Germany. The band when they performed live on stage wore astronaut helmets on their heads. The group only released one album, Fire Down Below, in 1996 before splitting up. They also released most of their singles during the 90's, with their last single released in Germany in 2002.
==Links to Peel==
Peel played their material during the mid 90's, but seemed to have lost interest in them by the end of that decade. The group's 2002 single, 'Play 4 Songs, Inspired By The Art Of... Jeff Koons', was not played by the DJ.
