The Alien Beats is a band created by Britt Daniel.
Before creating Spoon, Britt Daniel toyed around with a few musical acts in the Austin area.
[1] After his stint with Skellington, fellow KTSB (now KVRX) DJ Brad Shenfeld asked Britt if he would be interested in starting a country/rockabilly band.
Britt declined, but then called Brad back a week later and agreed.
Britt Daniel wrote and sang lead for track 2: "Under The Table".
