Billed as "A Symphonic Ear Blast to the 10th Progression", Space Future is a tongue-in-cheek take on rock musicals. Accompanied by a live four-piece band, the show tells the story of the dreaded Space Overlord, who has banned music from every planet in the universe, and the slacker/Prince/future rock & roller who is the one and only hope for peace and prosperity in the galaxy.
