Famously flamboyant on stage, Deastro’s colourful, ambient,...
DOWNLOAD: Deastro - Michael, Lone Archer Of The North Shore + Parallelogram
As Deastro , 22-year-old producer and musician Randolph Chabot makes pastoral pop songs for people who believe in aliens.

Deastro Reviews

Deastro, Max Tundra, Mystery Roar at Great Scott
Mystery Roar were a bit too sexy for me. Max Tundra had more enthusiasm during that one performance than I’ve ever had in my entire life. Deastro played 4 or 5 new songs. Then shit broke. Then they played 4 or 5 old songs. Then 1 more new song about falling in love with a vampire. And it was all awesome. Deastro Deastro Max Tundra Max Tundra Mystery Roar More on Flickr
