Artist Biography

The Aliens are a Scottish band consisting of Gordon Anderson (aka Lone Pigeon, lead vocals, guitar) and former Beta Band members John Maclean (keyboards, backing vocals) and Robin Jones (drums, backing vocals). They formed in 2005 following the split of The Beta Band the previous year, and frontman Gordon Anderson falling ill to "acute psychosis". Anderson is now out of hospital and has been off medication for some time.

Influenced by artists such as The Doors, The Stone Roses, The Who, The Beatles, David Bowie, Bob Dylan and T. Rex, The Aliens have a more upbeat and psychedelic pop sound in contrast to the trip-hop-based Beta Band.

Their first release, the EP Alienoid Starmonica, was released to the UK iTunes Music Store on 20 March 2006, and on CD and 12" on 8 May 2006 on their own EMI imprint, Pet Rock.
