 Alientar first congealed at a remote canyon trailer deep in the Santa Cruz Mountains during the Summer of 1999, and has been famously described as Aldous Huxley and Isaac Asimov jamming at Pompeii encompassing a sonic mash that lurches from unabashed psychedelic space epics to psychobilly rutting soundtracks, playing whatever they feel like and leaving their audience to sort out the details.
Alientar has played some of the Bay Areas finest and worst venues from the legendary Fillmore and Frost Amphitheatre to urine soaked biker bars and lush divorcee watering holes. Despite their fickle fortunes, Alientar keeps stepping into the ring like a brain damaged prize fighter looking for glory. Push them too far, however, and theyll unleash their sonic fury on the audience like a water cannon at a WTO demonstration.
History
Guitarists Forest Coe and Jeremy Lathrop had been jamming and writing with bass player Derk Hagedorn since 1994, but it wasnt until they were introduced to drummer Jason Deppong that they got off their collective asses and decided to share their particular musical vision with more than the annoyed neighbors. Keyboardist Joseph Lemmer joined the band a few months later and Alientar seeped out of its trailer and onto stages around the area.
Following the exhuming of human remains behind the trailer, the band moved its headquarters to a nondescript townhouse in Santa Cruz proper, where a new generation of neighbors would soon be introduced to strange noises emanating from the garage. After several live and demo CD compilations, Alientar released its first album on the Alien Slut label in 2005. After five years of collaboration and madness, Joseph Lemmer came to his senses in early 2006 and left the band to pursue other interests, but not before engineering the recordings for Alientars newest release "MARTIAN TERRAIN" which came out in July 2007. Since then, Alientar has been working on new material at a feverish pace stay tuned
