Formed in 2016 in Bury, Lancashire, Stupid Cosmonaut draw inspiration from science fiction and the cosmos to create beautifully haunting visions of a not too distant dystopian future. A vast reach of influences can be found from caustic, electronic hallucinations as chilled as Tangerine Dream and Klaus Shultz to more organic post rock offerings in the vein of Mogwai and Explosions in the Sky.

Since formation, Stupid Cosmonaut have played sold out shows at The Deaf Institute, Manchester, The Met Bury and Sebright Arms London.  They were honoured to play a packed gig on The Beauty Witch stage at Sounds from The Other City in Salford. The have also shared the stage with bands such as Henge, Dystopian Future Movies, Minami Deutsch, Lost Under Heaven, Naxatras and Barberos. 

‘Algol’ their first vinyl release on Drone Rock Records sold out to high critical acclaim amongst online blogs and websites with reviews also from print publications The Wire Magazine, and Terrorizer who said ‘Algol is a rich evocative and crushing trip into the uncharted depths of the solar system’

"Once, there was a group called The Flying Lizards. They hit the UK Top 5 in 1979 with a deadpan, deconstructed and desexualised – some say deliberately detuned – version of Barrett Strong’s ‘Money’, and then repeated the trick several more times, to less fanfare. Some argue that they took the notion of WRONG! in pop music to a higher level, elevated it to an art form. So asexual it became a whole new strata of sex in itself. 

Cue the present-day and sunny St. Leonards-On-Sea from the UK (a place that Morrissey’s ‘Everyday is Like Sunday’ could have been written for). Cue Elf & Stacy, a small town ‘musical’ duo, delighting in all the qualities that made The Flying Lizards so artful in the first place: a disco backbeat, abrupt vocals and a certain… how should we put this?... atonality. So wrong it does indeed become right once more. Just give this baby to Perez Hilton, and watch this baby fly". Everett True 2014
