yes. the TW comparison is spot on! See this guy live. He is incredible!!! I can only hope it rains for you and you are on a hillside in downtown Austin, TX like I was to create a fantastic atmosphere!
This guy is so awesome! He is definately one of the best live performers I have ever seen! If you get the chance to see him live, then you should absolutely do it! It will be worth it!
i saw him in berlin last thursday, as support for tegan and sara ... he was awesome, in my eyes his set was better than the set of t&s ... his performance was much more powerfull than any performance i have ever seen
Astro undoubtedly has talent but it isn't just rap and hip hop that has been using auto tune.Just about every genre of music is using some form of electronic manipulation tool that takes the talent out of music.
You can tell the music is a recording, but Astro is rapping live. Good to see some real talent as apposed to the auto-tune epidemic in hip hop and rap recently

His live performances have so much more energy than the tracks off the albums. They feel like different songs half the time. Love it

I consider his music influenced (intentionally or not) by Moby. The guitars, pianos and sometimes even the vocals. Sure is - the CD is great.

His physicality in this video (and even his voice a little bit) reminds me of the way Tom Waits performs. That's a very good thing.

Love him! He reminds me of Buck 65 at times... their style and voices are kind of similar, yet they cannot be more different!
