They Came From The Stars (I Saw Them)

(Lo Recordings) Releases

THEY CAME FROM THE STARS (I SAW THEM) live in a virtual commune in the East End of London. They have come together in the united agreement that they disagree on everything except 'the urgent importance of the existence of they came from the stars; I saw them'. They have formed an art movement DA DA DAism dedicated to the eradication of 'Taste' and clearing the path for the true cultural democracy of the 'Tastelessness that knows no bounds'

Somewhere between prog, kraut and space rock, but with both feet firmly in this Century, we invite you to explore the stars 'a blend of excitement, entertainment and good ole" rock and roll attitude!

History:
They came from the stars; I saw them formed in 1999 and have varied in numbers and members for the last two years. The current line up is as follows:

Alexi Star AKA Specaialneeds
Points of interest: Alex has no memory of the six months period prior to the formation of they came from the stars; I saw them. He was reported missing by a close friend and collaborator on 10th July 1998, reappearing on 14th February 1999 at the home of the friend who had reported him missing. Nobody can account for Alex's whereabouts or activity during this period. In the May of 1998 specaialneeds exhibited a number of sound sculptures that when interacted with would stun the participant for a period of one minute. This was possible using frequency control technology as part of a community arts project based in Brixton London.

Horton Jupiter FKA John Smith
Points of interest: Born of hippy parents Sheila and Alan Bottoms, founders of the notorious underground commune The Love Millionaires; Horton changed his name to John Smith and enrolled himself in the London School Of Economics. After graduating he embarked upon a successful career in banking until black Monday left him unemployed and bankrupt. He was a broken man, until he discovered the heeling power of "rock 'n' rock". He has never looked back since. Now only answering to the name Horton Jupiter.

Both Mars Reacher and The Reverent Teardrop agree to coexist in the some body shearing consciousness. The two however have never been seen in the some place at the time.

Giles Star
Points of interest: Giles has baffled medics and mystic alike with his phenomenal control over is own body and mind. This remarkable display of self-control can some times manifested it's self in him being able increase or decrease his hart rate as much as 10 b.p.m; at-will and with out any physical exertion, fast or remain motionless; moving not so much as an eyelash for extended periods of up to a month.

Points of interest: As a child Daniel was a promising ice-scatter with extraordinary grace and flair; harbouring aspirations to attain Olympic gold. But soon a new love came in to his life, he discover the ancient art of Kung Foo. For years he was torn between the two passions, until he saw the Hollywood musical Kiss Me Kate. Inspiration stuck and he started work on his musical stage show extravaganza Marcel Arts on Ice. He has now honed is genius to concentrate on music.
