Oct 3: the aliens get a hot chip remix [free MP3] -- "Larry David and Ol’ Dirty Bastard" October 3, 2007

cut and pasted...links and Mp3 over at the Pipeline

The Aliens, former members of the Beta Band, have a lovely remix of their track Robot Man by Hot Chip. They play Doug Fir on October 3rd.

From their website - 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 from the current crop of guitar slingers. Inspired by Sergio Leone and Serge Gainsbourg, Brian Eno and Brian Wilson, Larry David and Ol’ Dirty Bastard, their songs in the key of Fife reference the past whilst belonging resolutely to the future. 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 two albums under the Lone Pigeon moniker.
