Aliens' Luna project to visit Manchester

Scottish psychedelic rockers The Aliens are to hit the road again this autumn to promote their new album.

Nearly 18 months after the release of Astronomy for Dogs, the band's second album Luna will hit the shelves on September 29th, with a tour starting in Edinburgh a couple of weeks later on October 9th.

The former Beta Band members - now with fit again Gordon Anderson back on vocals - will then play at Manchester's Academy 3 venue on October 11th, before heading to Nottingham and Bristol.

A trip to the capital on the 14th at the London Hoxton Bar and Grill will be followed by gigs in Brighton, at Liverpool Academy 2 and Newcastle.

Recently, the band's single I Am The Unknown was used in the Kevin Spacey gambling film 21 - which topped the US and UK box office charts for a number of weeks early in the summer.
