notes

Crashed to Earth in our year of 1965. Hibernated. Emerged in '98. Took human host bodies. For some unknown reason, started playing abrasive, instrumental surf-punk.

Typical show= 15 songs, 29 minutes.

Little is known about what caused these humans to be chosen for "duty" by alien beings. Hosts enter a fugue state with compulsive tendencies which could be refered to as "Parasite-Induced-Somnambulistic-Trance" (or P.I.S.T.) and can be likened to sleepwalking. They have a strict doctrine of not communicating verbally with humans under any circumstances, and should be considered very dangerous.

Why creatures from outer space would neglect all of the usual stereotypes of alien invasion behavior- i.e.- slaughtering the masses, enslaving humanity, breeding giant lobsters- only to play in a "punk rock" band is not understood.

Rev Angry Larry/Guitar
His Magistrate Jules Renault/Bass
Ambassador Chuck Bronson/Theremin-Media
Senator Thompson Speck/Drums

  • Outer-Space Detroit RAWK!!
    author: Lisabeth Posthuma

    If hyperactivity were communicated in sound wave, the result would be The Amino Acids' sophomore release, Destroy the Warming Sun! Classified as both "surf punk" and "space rock" this follow up to 2002's Man…in the Universe? could share the same curious genetic code as a love child from Devo's Mark Mothersbaugh and an alien. A hip, punk alien. This album is a satirical, retrospective nod to 1960's B movies with UFOs floating via visible fishing wire. In fact, it sounds like the short one-liners woven through the intros were actually extracted from a cheesy, sock-hop, date movie: "Hey, doll. Is this guy boring you? Why don't you come and talk to me? I'm from another planet." The lameness of such hokey pick-up lines adds to the atmosphere of the music. It's funny because it's intentional and it's interesting because it's accompanied by good music. - Lisabeth Posthuma.

  • Great surf CD
    author: Wityak

    I don't know if I'd say this CD as good as any of Starcrunch era Man or Astroman... but none the less it's a very good album... if your like Man Or Astroman buy this CD it's very good surf/spy music and if your buy this and you don't know who Man or Astroman is buy one or all of the albums

  • Stunning, Simplie Stunning
    author: Vampmonkey

    First, the song titles. So creative. The title for track three taunts me every day, witch is way I love it so. The snip-it of, what I believe are from 50's horror movies, are the best. I love this cd. It hasn't left my cd player yet. Will it ever!? I FRICKIN' HOPE NOT.

  • Brilliant music, Gotta love the theramin!
    author: Rev. /Dev/Null

    Fast & loud, short & sweet. Although it's a short album, it's all you need. Listen through & on the other side you pull out of the journey feeling fufilled & it ain't the frop. BUY THIS ALBUM. It's worth it & hell, it's got a lead Theremin!

  • A 15 on the Richter Scale...
    author: landlockedeastcoastsurfer

    This CD rocks, and it rocks hard and fast, and then you wanna rock again. The disc showcases the Amino Acids unique style. When it came (which was very quickly and in perfect condition) I couldn't take it out of my CD player, and I found myself humming the songs when I wasn't listening.

  • Smash Smash Smash!!!
    author: Jake Franz

    This CD really is what it stated...Black Sabbath and surf..But there was more.A bit of Dead Kennedys (style only).I don't know,It's short and simple.POUNDING RIGHT TO THE CORE!!So I guess you could say I loved it!
