About Astro Age Steel Orchestra

A Japanese Space age pop steel band group lead by Yann Tomita alongside principle members Yumiko Ohno (of Buffalo Daughter and Havana Exotica) and Gen Tamura (of Little Tempo and Metrofarce). Their sole release is the 1994 calypso-oriented Happy Living, although the band often makes guest appearances within other Tomita-related projects. Happy Living notably features steel pan cover versions of the relatively unknown 1967 single "Little Girl Lost-and-Found" (written by Tandyn Almer of The Association fame and originally performed by one-off Los Angeles psyche group The Garden Club), "Tour of Jamaica" by Mighty Sparrow, and several versions of the 1964 calypso hit "Hold On To Your Man" by Lord Kitchener.
