BIOGRAPHY

Alien Sex Fiend is a Gothic Rock / Deathrock band from the UK . Getting their start at the Batcave club in London in 1982 , they quickly became known in the gothic scene for their Psychobilly , dark electronic, Industrial sound, heavy Samples and Loops and manic vocals.

Made up of Nik Fiend and his spouse Mrs. Fiend the band has put out a long discography over the years. Switching up easily from heavy industrial to ambient experimental styles, fans of Alien Sex Fiend are always wondering what the next album is going to entail.

While never achieving mainstream commercial success (whether they wanted it or not), they remain a fixture on College Radio . And can boast as being the band to release the world's first (and probably only) 11" single, "E.S.T. (Trip To The Moon)" in October 1984.

Their video for "Zombified" was featured on an episode of the MTV animated series '' Beavis & Butt-head ''.

They now reside in Cardiff , Wales .
