Praise for ALEX THE ASTRONAUT
“Alexandra Lynn is so adept at writing pop songs that capture the rush of young love, friendship, confusion, sadness and all those messy situations that dominate your early 20s that it’s odd to think she is yet to release her debut album.” – The Guardian
“(I Think You’re Great) from Australia’s Alex the Astronaut is a song we all need on our playlist.” – Refinery29
“Alex The Astronaut is one of Australia’s most powerful – and important – songwriters.” – Pilerats
“Alex the Astronaut is a national treasure” – Purple Sneakers

Following the release of the widely-praised single ‘I Think You’re Great’ in January, Sydney-born singer, songwriter and storyteller ALEX THE ASTRONAUT readies her new band of space cadets for a string of Australian headline tour dates in Hobart, Launceston, Melbourne, Fremantle, Adelaide and Sydney this April. See all venue and ticketing details below.
The tour dates follow the release of ‘I Think You’re Great’, Alex’s latest single, which pays tribute to a cherished friend in her life. The track was co-produced by Sam Cromack and Daniel Hanson of Ball Park Music and is about the importance of checking in on each other, opening up conversations and supporting friends through thick and thin.
Premiering on triple j, ‘I Think You’re Great’ was added to full rotation and went on to receive support and praise from The Guardian, Junkee, NME, Music Feeds, Brooklyn Vegan and Refinery29 while also being championed across Spotify and Apple Music.
Alex heads to the US this March for SXSW and a run of dates with Nettwerk labelmates Jack River and Didirri. She will then return home to play the I Think You’re Great tour before heading to Byron Bay for Splendour in the Grass in July.

ABOUT ALEX THE ASTRONAUT
Since her emergence in 2016, the multi-talented Alex Lynn has released two acclaimed EPs (To Whom It May Concern and See You Soon) and a slew of big singles, which have had a way of landing at just the right moment. The track that started it all was 2016’s ‘Already Home’, which contains the now-iconic line “And there’s billionaires for presidents / And parking fines at hospitals”.
In 2017, Alex returned with ‘Not Worth Hiding’, an open letter to her 16-year-old self that details the journey to owning her sexuality, which arrived as Australia was debating marriage equality and became the unofficial anthem of the Vote Yes movement. It was played by none other than Elton John on his Beats 1 radio show and ranked at number 23 in triple j’s Hottest 100.
Along the way, Alex has taken her music to the stages of international festivals like The UK’s Great Escape, Primavera Sound in Spain and Manchester’s Neighbourhood Festival. At home in Australia, she’s played Splendour in the Grass, triple j’s One Night Stand and a sold out national headline tour of her own.

AMNPLIFY – DB
My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
