The Fleshtones are a garage rock revivalist band formed in 1976 in Queens, New York. Comprised of vocalist/keyboardist Peter Zaremba, guitarist Keith Streng, bassist Jan Marek Pakulski, and drummer Bill Milhizer, the group aims to bring back the simplicity and unself-consciousness of '50s and early '60s rock & roll. Their music is a blend of fuzz guitar and Farfisa organ sounds with elements of rockabilly, '50s and '60s R&B, and surf. They have been an integral part of New York's punk and new wave scene since their debut EP "Up-Front" in 1980.

Throughout their career, The Fleshtones have released several albums including "Roman Gods," "Blast Off!," "Hexbreaker," which is widely regarded as their finest work, "Powerstance," "Beautiful Light," "Do You Swing?," and "Beachhead." In 2008, they proved their ability to still be raucous after more than 30 years together with the release of "Take a Good Look."

Garage rock connoisseurs may remember the instrumental ‘Lost on Xandu’from The Fleshtones’ 2011 album Brooklyn Sound Solution for its distinctive guitarwork from the hands of the legendary Lenny Kaye.

Eight years later, Lenny went back to the instrumental tune and crafted some lyrics that paint the scenery of an outer space landscape, adding his own vocals to the song and turning the track into something completely new. This reimagined version of ‘Lost on Xandu’ with vocals will be available as a limited edition 45 single on cloudy orange vinyl for Black Friday 2019. The vocal version of ‘Lost on Xandu’ is found on the A-side, and the B-side features a dub-style rendition of the track (starring Peter Zaremba as Space Commander) titled ‘Lost on Xandu (Version).’ Neither the vocal version nor dub version of ‘Lost on Xandu’ have been previously available in any format.
