THE ALIENS
The Aliens return this Autumn with a brand new album on their own Pet Rock Records label. Luna picks up where their astounding 2007 debut Astronomy For Dogs left off, and sees the band continuing to explore the outer limits of sunshine pop, psychedelic rock and acid dipped electronics. Recorded in an isolated, ramshackle studio in a small Scottish village, the band have embraced their freedom from the major record label machine, and delivered an album that manages to outshine their widely acclaimed debut.
John Maclean and Robin Jones were members of the Beta Band, along with founding member Gordon Anderson who departed after the first EP release and went on to record two albums under the Lone Pigeon moniker. The three re-united in 2006 and embarked on a new musical adventure as The Aliens releasing the classic singles 'Robot Man' and 'Happy Song', and the stunning album Astronomy For Dogs, whilst touring extensively across the UK and USA throughout 2007.
Their new album 'Luna' is released on 29 September 2008, with the debut single from Luna, 'Magic Man' being released on 22 September 2008.
