Astral Social Club is the current project of Neil Campbell, formerly of Vibracathedral Orchestra, Sunroof!, A Band and many more.

Campbell has been active since the early 80s, and The Wire magazine has said
that, along with his friends Richard Youngs and Matthew Bower, he "provided
the map co" ordinates for much of what passed for a post" punk UK underground
during most of the 80s and 90s".

Campbells approach as Astral Social Club could be seen as both a continuation
and a refutal of his work with Vibracathedral Orchestra "  a continuation in that
it continues the quest into the unknown stellar regions of improvised dronebased
music, and a refutal in its espousal of most of the elemental organic rock
modes that made that band so special.
