This band Alien Chicks, they are a problem. Frenzied and evil. Constantly teasing total chaos, leaving you a little on edge in the process. – Jack Saunders
Alien Chicks are a Brixton based post-punk power trio, whose music explores a whole mix of genres including jazz, rap, bossa nova, and math rock. Their songs are a surreal social commentary packed with punchy rhythms and eclectic time signatures. Their youthful charisma, humour, passion, and sense of fun make for an addictively energetic live show.
Only a year into being a band, they have gained a buzzing grassroots following, always playing to packed crowds, and have sold out the Windmill Brixton alone 9 times. They have had radio play from Jack Saunders, Steve Lamacq, John Kennedy and Tom Robinson from BBC Radio 6 and Honor Morrison from BBC Introducing, and press coverage and playlist adds from The Independent, Hard of Hearing magazine, ASBO magazine, as well as many more naming them ‘Ones to Watch’ for 2023.
They have supported Warmduscher, Opus Kink, Fat Dog, Medicine Cabinet, Been Stellar, and more, and they have just been on their first big UK tour in April finishing with a sold-out headline at The Lexington. They are releasing their debut EP and headlining the 100 Club in November, as well as playing festivals and more support slots over the summer.
Alien Chicks now have a full team around them, with the most recent addition being Jed Morgans (Opus Kink) as their manager.
