Last Friday I interviewed Torsten Kinsella and Lloyd Hanney of God Is an Astronaut (homepage, Last.fm, MySpace, Wikipedia) in the Róisín Dubh, Galway.

We spoke of their upcoming album, the loss of visuals in their live set, a new mixing desk that will let them replicate their studio sound live, record deals, booking agents, national attitudes to their music scenes and how to gain a following.
