The Quaker City Night Hawks – Sam Anderson and David Matsler on vocals and guitars, Pat Adams on bass, Aaron Haynes on drums – are a Southern band, to be sure. But it’s not the South we’ve come to expect from rock & roll. Equally influenced by ZZ Top and science fiction, the Dallas Observer’s Best Band Of 2015 write of landscapes both familiar and foreign and they deliver their ‘El Astronauta’ debut on Lightning Rod Records.

Eras collide in every aspect of the album, from the title – which merges Texas’ Spanish and Mexican roots with its role at the centre of the modern space race – to its pop art cover, which depicts a classic 70s hot rod that’s been modified into a spacecraft hovering over an exotic desert landscape.

‘Mockingbird’ plays out as a classic-rock road warrior’s tale souped-up for the 22nd Century, while ‘Liberty Bell 7’ re-imagines current-day border issues through the eyes of a ‘space coyote’ smuggling illegal immigrants on and off the planet. The track, engineered by Centromatic’s Matt Pence, is named from a real NASA mission from 1961.
