BIO
Basement Spaceman is the artistic vehicle for New Zealand born, Melbourne based singer/songwriter Andy Brown. Basement Spaceman’s debut self titled album landed in 2013 and crept its way onto national airways as a feature on ABC’s RN program. The album contained some unusual singles ‘Salaryman’ ‘Sick Of Summer’ and ‘Sexy UFO’ all finding a home on community radio throughout Australia.
2016 saw the release of BS 2/3 which brought together two EPs. The 1st single ‘Pussyfooter’ was featured on 3RRR’s legendary radio show ‘The Skull Cave’ and once again, community radio around the country was quick to jump on the BS bandwagon.
Much of 2017 & 2018 was spent writing and recording ‘For Those Afraid Of The Rising Sun’ which presented a departure from the earlier work, exploring a ride through sleep and the shock of waking up. The 2018 release was a sonic advance and beautifully mixed by Joel Taylor at The Black Lodge and the 1st single ’Not The Only One’ reached #4 on the Amrap Regional Music charts.
The new album ‘The Fire Set’ picks up where ‘For Those Afraid Of The Rising Sun’ left off but adds a darker, heavier edge. Joel Taylor came on board again at the mix stage and the project was mastered by Grammy award nominee Joe Carra.
In 2023, the spaceman presented the first album of the ‘Sojourn’ series. A trilogy of albums exploring specific aspects of space exploration. First up was ‘Hubble’, the story of the 1st off planet telescope. The album was accompanied by a highly visual show that became critically acclaimed as one of Melbourne's most unique live acts.
Second up was 2024s ‘Voyager And The Golden Record’ the story of the 1977 Voyager probes and the attempted message from earth to potential extraterrestrial life.
The new album : Apollo 17 (3 Days On The Moon), will be released on Friday the 13th of March (2026) and will be quickly followed by some highly visual shows featuring carefully curated visuals direct from the NASA archives.
