Reviews =Anachronauts was a
surf rock band founded byScott Burright (guitar, lead vocals) and Stacey Hathaway (bassist, vocals) in 1992 in New Orleans, Louisiana. They moved to Dayton, Ohio in 1995 where they were joined by Steve Forte (lead guitar, mandolin). [The Guardian. Dayton, Ohio. February 22, 1995.] The style of Anachronauts was primarily "technofolk" with surf guitar, but blended heavy influence from classic science fiction genre and New Wave musical groups such asDevo andTalking Heads . The band claimed to be "not of hard rock, but of hard science." [Press Release, April 12,1993] They have been described as "Devo with really good Baptist church choir soloist" and "like theB-52s , only quirkier. [Press Release May 29, 1995] Hathaway described the Anachronauts as "the bastard child of Devo and Peter, Paul, and Mary." [The Dayton Voice. Dayton, Ohio. Volume 8 Number 22. June 6, 1995.]"Anachronauts are nothing if not confusing. Their slogan is 'Remember the future. Welcome to the present. Proceed to the past.'" [The Daily Reveille. Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Volume 97, Number 98. Thursday, April 15, 1993.]
