In Space, Nobody Can Hear You Scream... Because of all the Rock & Roll Music.
Named Albuquerque The Magazine’s Best Band in the City for 2026, The Asteroids have brought their electrifying brand of vintage rock and roll to the New Mexico State Fair, Albuquerque’s Nob Hill Summerfest, Fiestas in Las Vegas, New Mexico, and Rebel Road Hotrod Garage’s classic-car shows. They’ve also appeared on the television program Pickup New Mexico, where host Isiah Yazzie proclaimed them “The Greatest Band in the Galaxy.”
Saxophones streak across the stratosphere over rocket-fueled rhythm and blues! Albuquerque’s award-winning rock-and-roll revivalists are on a mission to turn every venue into a dance hall, bringing the golden age of rock and roll roaring back to life with an extraterrestrial twist.
The band’s musical foundation celebrates the Black innovators who helped create rock and roll. Drawing inspiration from Ray Charles, Little Richard, Fats Domino, Chuck Berry, and the jump-blues tradition, The Asteroids honor the gospel, blues, boogie-woogie, and rhythm-and-blues roots of the genre. Their repertoire also follows that influence through subsequent decades, with favorites from Elvis Presley and Bobby Day to Queen, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Leon Bridges, and JD McPherson.
But The Asteroids aren’t interested in putting rock and roll behind museum glass. They embrace the rebellious, sometimes downright unruly spirit that made the music revolutionary in the first place. The result is a show that’s faithful to its roots but bursting with contemporary energy, spontaneous humor, blistering guitar, and the unmistakable growl of a baritone saxophone.
Featuring Danger K Varoz on lead vocals and drums, Juicebox Desmond on guitar and vocals, Noah Armstrong on bass and vocals, and Hud Muhammad on baritone saxophone, the band brings infectious chemistry, musical versatility, and playful audience interaction to every performance.
Varoz’s songs often begin as a lightning strike to the brain. Juicebox brings innovative guitar riffs, Armstrong the bass arrangements, and Muhammad adds his own distinctive saxophone voice.
Now preparing their debut album, Space Rock, for release in early 2027, The Asteroids are taking their retro-futuristic vision even further with thirteen original songs, including “Martian Girl,” “Supernova Hangover,” and “Rocket Powered Woman.”
It’s rock and roll from another era—and another galaxy. Bring your dancing shoes.
