WE CAME FROM SPACE
Four guys travelling the universe and saving rock and roll
Your future is our past. Your wildest dreams were our daily routine. The food that sustains your children was fertilized in our….. Not important, really. We’ve been out there; to the coldest, darkest corners of the universe. We’ve walked upon the moons of planets yet to be discovered by government-sanctioned space programs (like having matching space suits and rockets that don’t run on chicken fat makes your mission all “official”, and your dad “forgot” about you burning down the garage).

Our mission… our very reason for being… was to travel the cosmos, meet its peoples, and find out what unites us all. Our crew has danced the sacred dance of the Zelb on Krit, drank the elixir of the Luurgites, sat at the feet of the Priestesses of Polmar, went back and drank more Luurgite Elixir, traded all of the chicken fat for just one last little taste of Luurgite Elixir, did a 30 day in-patient program to kick Luurgite Elixir, relapsed a couple of times (that stuff is REALLY good), and broke bread with the President of Niffus. All in the name of music and fellowship. Our findings can be found wherever findings are found. For that, you will need top-security clearance to the most clandestine paramilitary installations and a current library card. Or, you can listen to the album.

We Came From Space found that emotion is the common thread that keeps us all from blowing away in the wind. From Jupiter’s Wizzling Tribes, to nomads of the Crab Nebula, to the Lizard People of Tantar, the Lizard People of Milt, the Lizard People of Sipplun 5. There are so many Lizard People out there*. We thought that we’d meet a few, but Holy Crap! Lizard People are the predominant species in the universe! So…. Many…. Lizard….. People…. Our module would be landing on a remote planet and we’d all be like, “No way could there be Lizard People here, right”? Then, woosh, the bay door would open and what do you know, Lizard People there to greet us!

Back to the common thread of emotion and the fabric of the universe. We’ve all been up and we’ve all been down. We’ve all fallen in love and we’ve all felt the sting of loss or betrayal. Many, many like me have sold all of the chicken fat for a short bottle of Luurgite Elixir, except for Lizard People who never touch the stuff, because they’re so much better than everyone else. Lizard People…. Every one of us, from every corner of every planet, has a song in our heart (or molecular converter. I’m talking to you Pudling Gratz!) and a story to tell. If you can possibly manage the time, please listen to both sides of our story at one sitting.

And remember: We Came From Space so that you don’t have to!

I like their website and where you can hear/buy the albums from. Haha...

Will give these guys a listen. Sounds interesting.

I live it! I'll be buying it.

Podaar · « **Reply #4 on:** May 16, 2018, 05:41:03 PM »

Listening to the first song. I dig it! I love the mood and the vocals. The instrumentation is very catchy and interesting.

Listening to the first song.

Starts off like late 80's Robert Plant.

Definitely one for the prog heads.

You say that like it's a bad thing.

"We came from space while you were away" seems like an explanation rather than a band name + album title combination

Nah, Utah slang would be: Pieces of the Sky is totally, fetching, awesome, Brother Kingshmegland!

King Postwhore · « **Reply #12 on:** May 17, 2018, 08:24:19 AM »

I bet your tired of that "Boston" accent!

BTW, I'm buying this. It sounds amazing.

Podaar · « **Reply #13 on:** May 17, 2018, 08:30:38 AM »

I love Boston accents! It's wicked hard to imitate though.

Yeah, I'm buying it too. It's so diverse and excellent it's almost like having a playlist of various artists on shuffle.

King, do you get a Supertramp vibe from, Eye to Eye?

King Postwhore · « **Reply #14 on:** May 17, 2018, 08:45:18 AM »

I've only listened to the stream once so I'll have to check that out. I just listened to Breakfast In America yesterday!

Nekov · « **Reply #15 on:** May 17, 2018, 09:23:17 AM »

Just one listen but this album is already in the top 3 this year. Super solid effort from every aspect.

That’s redundant.

dparrott · « **Reply #18 on:** May 18, 2018, 02:27:01 PM »

It's funny, I googled the band name before coming here for the link, I came across another instrumental prog band called IT Came From Space!

MinistroRaven · « **Reply #19 on:** June 06, 2018, 09:07:27 PM »

I’ve been listening to this almost daily. It’s a great album

devieira73 · « **Reply #20 on:** June 07, 2018, 07:19:37 AM »

I didn’t see this thread before, sorry! Indeed it’s an excellent and very diverse album!

KevShmev · « **Reply #21 on:** June 07, 2018, 12:48:53 PM »

I listened to it last night. I liked the music, but, aside from Bill, not sure I like the singer(s).

Nekov · « **Reply #22 on:** June 08, 2018, 06:19:03 AM »

This is a top contender for album of the year. I've been listening to it a lot lately and can't get tired of it.

Hey Ministro

Would you be able to add Bill Hubauer's name to the thread subject? Something like "Bill Hubauer - Neal Morse Band"? Maybe some people will check the album out just by knowing what band is he in.

Good call, that's what made me check out this thread.

Here's the premiere for the We Came From Space just released EP "Reasons In The Rhyme." A blissful 20 mins prog-rock experience! Support these guys so they can continue to produce music like this!

Cool, I bought on Bandcamp and listening now... good stuff!
The review on Sonic Perspectives says that this EP is the third recording by the band. So what is the first album? I thought While You’re Away was the first.

KevShmev · « **Reply #31 on:** April 29, 2020, 08:38:37 PM »

I tried to like the first album, but it didn't stick to landing for me. Well played stuff, but I had a difficult with the vocals. I'd have to hear some good stuff first before buying anything new again.

King Postwhore · « **Reply #32 on:** April 29, 2020, 08:43:24 PM »

Agree with Kev. Bill's vocals are great. Everyone else, not so much.

I just found their first album (I guess it's avaible on Spotify just more recently):
https://open.spotify.com/album/5nbsl0OlZBSPNq8pzcn1lt?si=VcLdYyokQD-ljX9olVKA8Q
What a nice surprise! A little more retro in style and production than While you’re away, but also very cool!
Review here:
http://www.tollbooth.org/index.php/past-issues/past-music-reviews/1108-they-came-from-space-how-to-be-human
I think this band should stay in a more prog pop style, different from the proggier direction of the EP.
Anyway also they are making a donation effort through Bandcamp to help an ex-member:
