We submitted our first ever entry to the NPR Tiny Desk Contest! 🎉
What a blast getting to record a live performance for our new song, "Anti-Gravity" with Blizz (bass, trumpet, vocals), Dan Murphy (keys), and Lucas Gillan (drums). You'll love the gorgeous video filmed in one take by Kristen Smith, and we couldn't have done it without Lilith Sleater (PA). It was truly a team effort, and we're thrilled with the immersive and groovy mix by Blizz (aka Ryan Black).
Hope you love this special live performance by a NASA console desk as much as we do. <3

The moment when we realized our spaceship was going down, we did what any reasonable cosmonauts would do... we pretended to be cool.
🚀💫 the 'Pretending to Be Cool' music video is out, right here on YouTube. Come help us save our ship!
In the meantime, please enjoy these stills and epic behind-the-scenes photos from our process. ~ NÆ & Blizz

Two years and we've come so far! OMG. 😮 Blizz and I are publishing clips from past episodes of Saturnae, starting WAYYY back in 2020 when we first started live streaming, using loop pedals, and doing live camera switching. Do you even recognize our spaceship?
Enjoy the progressive video drip from the archive while we get ready to launch some brand new intergalactic music and videos soon... thanks for being on the journey with us. 💗
