Armed with a bottomless bag of psychedelically inclined rock and acid dipped electronics, The Aliens bring a freedom of spirit and a certainty of intent that immediately sets them out form the current crop of guitar slingers.

These Aliens have history – between them they have been behind some of the most enthralling British music of the last decade. John Maclean and Robin Jones were members of the Beta Band. Gordon Anderson was a founding Beta Band member who went on to record the albums under the Lone Pigeon moniker.

After an epic ’07 and live performances not to be missed showcasing the band’s infectious energy and their front man’s magnetism, they finished last year with an amazing trip to the Congo with Africa Express and Damon Albarn.

This year will see the release of their long awaited second album, on their own label Pet Rock Records. Check out their MySpace page www.myspace.com/thealiens1 for regular updates.

The Aliens said: “We are very excited to be involved with an Irish whiskey like Jamesons for St Patrick’s day celebrations in two great cities. Look forward to playing in small intimate venues & getting into an acoustic vibe.”
