Monarchy attempt to corner alien market
By CMU Editorial | Published on Friday 11 June 2010
Monarchy have announced that they aim to become the first band to broadcast a gig into space later this month. Presumably, with record sales falling on Earth, the duo hope to corner the potentially lucrative but hitherto untapped alien market.
The band will head to home of NASA (though I’m not entirely sure if NASA are involved) Cape Canavarel in Florida on 17 Jun to play the show, film of which will be bounced out into space via a satellite dish. And it’s just in time, too, because their debut album, ‘Love Get Out Of My Way’, which promises to be filled with grand electronic pop tunes, will be released by Mercury on 2 Aug. I for one welcome our new alien record buyers.
