The AeroSith story... They came from a galaxy far far away, cast out from their society because of their political views. Maybe they were a little heavy handed and aggressive; some think their ancient religion is dead. You may have seen the Star Wars movies, heard the stories and the myths about these four. Some call them bad guys - they call themselves "The Sith." They came here to Earth in 21st Century looking for a new life. Day jobs aren't easy to find for these strangely attired fellows, so they turned to a profession they could be accepted in - show business. They found rock music songs to be a perfect vehicle to preach their beliefs to a new population. The real story... AeroSith The Star Wars Parody Band are a Long Island based group of costumed characters who perform rock songs with a comedic Sci-Fi twist. The AeroSith act includes all the bombastic trappings of a rock n roll band; smoke, swirling lights, blazing guitar solos, and headbanging. See 'The Emperor', 'Got Mauled', 'Anakin Cymbalwalker', and 'RG-McGillicuddy' interact with cardboard stand-up characters, duel with Lightsabres and guitars, and lose all credibility as real musicians. The Foursome are part theatre, part comedy, part music, and all fun. AeroSith has been inflicting their twisted brand of mayhem on the world for three years and in typical rock n roll fashion, have announced that their 2007 tour is their farewell tour. The band is returning from a successful 2006 tour in support of their critically acclaimed "The Sith Is Right" CD. 2007 will see the band perform infamous stage show one last time setting the stage for their "Behind the Music' TV special. The Formation of AeroSith... The idea for the band materialized in December 2003 when the Long Island Chapter of the Star Wars Fan Force met for their monthly meeting. The Events coordinator was looking for some kind of presentation to promote the fan club at the upcoming March 2004 I-CON Sci-Fi Convention in Stony Brook NY. He knew some of the members were musicians and one of them had recently made a comedy mix of dialog from the Star Wars movies just for fun. His idea was to incorporate the mix into a stage act of costumed Star Wars characters to perform in the Cabaret program at the I-CON convention. The club went to work on rehearsals, script writing and the soundtrack recording throughout early 2004. The band debuted their act before a small live audience at a small club on Long Island called The UltraSound Lounge on March 1, 2004. Four weeks later they performed their act at the I-CON convention before a very enthusiastic crowd of approximately 300. AeroSith knew they had something original. There have been parody bands before but not containing all dialog and lyrics from the original source of the parody. Unique to AeroSith is that this is not just a band performing music, it is a visual stage show comedy act. The buzz was out on AeroSith; the fans swamped their web site with e-mails and requests for more appearances and new music. The AeroSith phenomenon had to continue. Soon after they were featured on WUSB-FM's "Destinies: The Voice of Science Fiction" radio show. WUSB's DR. Howard Margolin has continued to be a big supporter of AeroSith. Next in April, 2003 they performed at the Empire Fan fest convention in Secaucus NJ where Mark Hamill was the special guest. The busy spring continued as Outer Space productions filmed the band in East Hills, Long Island for a video DVD release. Summer 2004 saw the release of AeroSith's first CD on Outer Space Records called "A Star Wars Parody Rock Band." The CD featured the full stage act soundtrack as well as bonus tracks and alternate mixes. The band's last performance of 2004 was their biggest yet. It was in Atlanta, GA on 9/4/04 at the Dragon*Con convention. They played before a sellout crowd opening up the Star Wars masquerade show before approximately 500 people. In December, 2004, Outer Space Productions finally released the official AeroSith DVD. Which featured "The 2004 Medley Video," shot in East Hills Long Island, as well as four other live performances by the band in 2004. In 2005 the band recorded a few new songs to back their recent hit "Revenge of The Sith" in celebration of the release of Star Wars Episode 3. The band taped a segment for USA networks "AFI Tribute to George Lucas" which never aired. 2006 brings the release of the new "Sith Is Right" CD which contains some original songs. Later in 2006 AeroSith will release an all original concept album called "Church of the Sith." In 2007 the bands' plan to record the "Church of the Sith" CD fell through yielding only a CD single: 'A Dark Lord Stepped In Sith' b/w 'Little Green Friend.' The AeroSith concept has grown from a local Long Island fan club promotional idea to a national phenomenon. Look for AeroSith at a Convention or venue near you in 2007 on Their Farewell Tour! |
