David Byrne, Tom Waits Among Confirmed N.A.S.A. Appearances

N.A.S.A., the beat-chopping production duo of Squeak E. Clean (Spike Jonze's brother, Sam Spiegel) and DJ Zegon (pro skater Ze Gonzales), has finally confirmed all the detals behind their debut album, The Spirit of Apollo. Due out February 17 through Anti-, the LP features a ridiculous roster of guests, including David Byrne, Karen O and Nick Zinner of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, M.I.A., Tom Waits, Ghostface Killah, Kool Keith, Kanye West, George Clinton, and way too many others to name in one sentence.

In related news, N.A.S.A. will appear at the loaded lineup of HARD Haunted Mansion in Los Angeles on Halloween, and DJ Zegon has a number of DJ dates lined up in the coming months.
