ALEX THE ASTRONAUT + Guests
'The Weird One' EP Launch
The Vanguard, Newtown NSW
Sunday October 4th, 2026 (Long Weekend)
Alex the Astronaut is the ARIA-nominated, Sydney-based singer-songwriter who has toured the globe but famously never actually been to space. Alex’s signature blend of hyper-observant lyricism and infectious melodies is uniquely Australian, so much so that their sophomore album, ‘How To Grow A Sunflower Underwater’ was once presented as an official diplomatic gift to New Zealand.
After a 2-year musical hiatus, Alex is returning to debut a bold new chapter. They spent their time away absorbing new creative dimensions, graduating from Cate Blanchett’s acting alma mater - NIDA - and expanding their foundational story telling skills onto the screen with a starring role in the new medical drama 'The F Ward'. This creative rebirth takes shape in ‘The Weird One’, - an EP born from an unconventional, cross-continental hustle.
Every track was written entirely via Zoom, connecting Alex’s Sydney apartment with producer Jonathan Quarmby at London's legendary RAK Studios. The music directly reflects a period of grounded, everyday routine, and exposes Alex’s gift for turning the mundane details of life into brilliant pop-folk poetry. Alex wrote these songs while balancing shifts at a local music store and a children's hospital, a clash between corporate survival and artistic purity that also comes alive visually in a series of whimsical, wonderfully wacky music videos.
