Earth’s greatest rocket-roll band, THE PHENOMENAUTS, have teamed up with Emmy Award-winning animation writer RICH FOGEL (Justice League, Batman Beyond, Transformers: Animated) to produce INFINITE FRONTIER, an exciting new animated music video based on the hit song from their new album FOR ALL MANKIND.
In this spaced-out odyssey set in the 33 1/3 Century, the intrepid Phenomenauts journey beyond the farthest reaches of the known galaxy to discover where all of the crazy TV shows, commercials and other video ephemera that we’ve been beaming into space over the last 50 years actually end up. Animated by talented newcomer ERICA HENDERSON (Venture Brothers/Astrobase Go), we see the heroic Phenomenauts as we’ve never seen them before. Additional Concept and Sound Design by ANDREW FOGEL bring this colorful space adventure to life. So join The Phenomenauts aboard their interstellar BASS SHIP for a musical journey beyond the INFINITE FRONTIER!
This video comes just days after INFINITE FRONTIER was played aboard the International Space Station as the first “wake up call” of the STS-124 mission. Wake-up calls are a long-standing tradition of the NASA program. Each day during the mission, flight controllers in the Mission Control Center will greet the crew with an appropriate musical interlude. The track asks “All the way from the bottom of the ocean to the upper atmosphere, there are astronomical possibilities, so why should we stop here?” and demands that we “Press onward!”
The Phenomenauts were honored with a VIP tour of NASA’s Lyndon B. Johnson Space Center in Houston during their last tour, which included meetings with astronauts, scientists, and hands-on experience with space station parts and training facilities. The band met with Mark E. Kelly, commander of the STS-124 shuttle mission to deliver the Pressurized Module and robotic arm of the Japanese Experiment Module, known as “Kibo” (hope), to The International Space Station.
THE PHENOMENAUTS have been invited back to NASA’s Houston headquarters for an extended tour and to shoot a music video for the song “Heroes” about the men, women, and animals that lived and died to advance our planet’s space program.
