Summary

Alien Chicks are a trio hailing from the streets of South London, known for their electrifying blend of punk, rap and jazz. They create a sound that is raw and innovative, capturing the spirit of London's underground music culture. The line-up features the vocals and sharp guitar work of Josef Lindsay, the pulsating basslines of Stefan Parker-Steele and the explosive drumming of Martha Daniels. Whether delivering rapid-fire rap verses, intricate jazz-inspired bass riffs, or thunderous punk rhythms, Alien Chicks continue to push boundaries and defy expectations, drawing praise from The Independent, NME, Rolling Stone, and Radio 1. The band’s journey began in grassroots venues across the city, in particular The Windmill, Brixton, where their high-energy performances and unique sound helped them build a loyal following. With huge momentum following their biggest London headliner yet at The Garage, following a sold out Oslo Hackney, four iconic sets at The Great Escape, 2000 Trees and Glastonbury. They have also toured with English Teacher, Lambrini Girls, The Libertines and Big Special. Alien Chicks' music is a testament to their diverse influences and fearless approach to genre.
