GOODBYE CALIFORNIA

The Smallest Star is pleased to introduce the first EP by the musical group AMERICAN ASTRONAUT.

For over two years the boys have been in the recording studio developing a completely new body of work. This 4 song EP entitled GOODBYE CALIFORNIA has been chosen as their début single.



















The cover illustration for GOODBYE CALIFORNIA was created by frontman Cory McAbee. The image includes the Soviet associated design elements of the California state flag. The bear featured on the actual state flag is a California Grizzly, a species driven to extinction in the early 1920s.

The title track, GOODBYE CALIFORNIA, is being introduced worldwide in the form of an online music video. It can be seen by clicking on the 4 panel image at www.americanastronaut.com/band/
