Groupe Rock 'n' Roll instrumental US qui eut à son origine Bob Demmon
de Boulder (Colorado). Il s'associa pour former les Astronauts avec Rick Fifield, Jim Gallagher, Dennis Lindsley et Stormy Patterson.
Ils ont enregistré d'excellentes reprises de classiques et apparurent dans deux
films. Les Astronauts ont enregistré pour Mercury (60), Palladium (60), Luney (62), Trial (62), Jan-Ell (62), Vanruss
(62), RCA (63-69). Il existe certainement plusieurs groupes différents sous la même
appellation.
Along with
Minnesota's Trashmen, the Astronauts (from Colorado) were the premier landlocked
Midwestern surf group of the '60s. They recorded numerous singles and albums and
achieved vast regional popularity, but only scored one modest national hit,
"Baja." With little material of their own, they judiciously tapped heavyweights
like Lee Hazelwood (who wrote
"Baja"), Roger Christian, and Gary Usher, as well as covering tunes by
Dick Dale and Henry Mancini. The group
shone brightest on their instrumentals, which used mounds of Fender reverb and
two rhythm guitars; when they sang, the results were much less successful.
