Alientar is a sonic experience that ranges from otherworldly psychedelia to homegrown funk,
blues, prog, and reggae- freely mixing these styles into a highly original blend. The band’s organic
sound is fueled by driving rhythms, cosmic guitar work, and exquisite soundscapes that keep
audiences enthralled and on their feet all night.

Why this name?
Hmmm....something to do with band experiences and a 70s or 80s German alien invasion film "Liquid Sky"...weird flick.
Do you play live?
Yes. Go to www.alientar.com for the calendar. We play currently in the San Francisco Bay Area. The Fillmore Auditorium has been our best gig to date (June '04)...and we have a DVD of it.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
Makes it easier for more music to be available to listeners. And allows musicians to get their music heard by a larger audience. It's easier and cheaper!
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
They more we read about the hassles and rip offs...probably not.
Band History:
Alientar first descended from the Santa Cruz Mountains in the summer of 1999, and has since
played some of the Bay Area’s most prestigious venues, including San Francisco’s Fillmore
Auditorium and Santa Cruz’s Catalyst. With over 50 original compositions, Alientar explores
new sonic territory with each performance- often incorporating spectacular visual projections-
to create a powerful and engaging experience unlike any other.
