Biografia : Urban Aliens

Urban Aliens is a punk rock band shined with « Armor All » since their inception in 2002. The band might be young but the members are old wrecks.

Whoe Henry (also severely balding) is the founder and main songwriter. He used to be a « guitar hero » (not the game, that was in the time of the Atari 2600) thanks to his career in famous band Neuraxis during the previous century. He gathered this clan of artists, endowed with a glorious past and an uncertain future to found Urban Aliens.

Joe-Hell was the first to join Whoe. Joe was known as the guitarist/vocalist for legends Démence. Whoe suggested him to trade his axe for a bass, as it would match his increasing lack of coordination. The flow of saliva from Joe’s gaping mouth was seen as a “yes”…

Whoe then visited his friend, half living legend Stu Pitt in hospital to ask him for the drummer’s spot. Stu granted his involvement for the time his knee cap operation and umbilical hernia would stop incapacitate him to play the drums. Stu then proposed his old pal Fil Hermouth on the other guitar as soon as he’d recover from his ill-fated foreskin surgery.. They both got known thanks to their cult band The Wacky Pack of Lobstermen From Mars.

Last but not least to penetrate the bunch was Nick The Dick. The origin of his name is a well kept secret. Nick is never shy to amaze a crowd by showing up his sack during real private shows (we mean private). Nick joined in 2004 after a search… by the police. He was elevated to the rank of messiah and martyr after singing for the mythic Minds.

In 2005, Urban Aliens launched its first opus, « Corporate Punk For Rich People »containing the hits « Gros Criss », « Pourquoi Ne Suces-Tu Plus », « Pourquoi Tu Fourres Pas? », « Filles Mortes and many more. Critics were cheerful and compassionate toward the album; everyone agreed that a new style was born: Porn-Core!

The band then started touring their native Québec (except for the areas of Saguenay, Lac St-Jean, Côte Nord, Lanaudière, Laurentides, Bas St-Laurent, Outaouais, Gaspésie, Iles-de-la-Madeleine, Chaudière-Appalaches and St-Alphonse-de- Rodriguez), and some shows had more people in the crowd than on the guest list.

In 2006, to everyone’s surprise, Urban Aliens launched a 2nd opus, « Perdition ». Critics, most being close friends of the band, said that Perdidition was their favorite album of 2006. Nick The Dick wrote on his blog that Perdition was the album of the year!!!

Finaly, 2007! UA strikes again with a DVD that will make history: « LIVE AU 1833 ». This masterpiece, directed and produced by Benoit Nantel Productions in an intimate environment, unveils the many public acts of provocation on and off stage from Whoe, Joe, Nick, Fil and Stu. Features : Intense testimonies about marital life, all the band’s clips, many frolicking moments and most important, Urban Aliens legendary performance in the temple of North America’s underground music : the famous 1833, the ultimate downfall ground. A new clip just got shot for this anthem, a pure sequence of various acts of debauchery! This DVD is an extremely rare collector item, which you can only get by bowing personally in front of Urban Aliens.
