A.k.a. Ady Simmonds
The one-man band of Astroboy aka Astro Boy was started as a side for Shapeshifter Legacy noisemaker Ady Simmonds (also goes under the name of Ady Gordon occasionally) -- who had no idea that there was a Japanese cartoon from the 1970s under the same name. By using a variety of synthesizers, drum machines, tape loops, Commodore 64 noises, and even a Speak and Spell, Simmonds would record a number of experimental sounds on a four-track recorder that would result in a number of demo releases. Ennui Tapes would eventually release two full-lengths -- including 1999's Hex and 2000's In the Ghost of Your Mind -- before the Belgium-based Morc Records followed with 2001's Innocent Tears. Ady also played as Shapeshifters along with Bryan Shore (aka Cpt.Zeta Jones) as well as in Brat along with Simon Foster (previously in Devious Conjurers) and in Thee Hysterikals with Al Fasoli.
