The mayhem that is Alien Sex Fiend, a goth band formed in London in 1982 with Nik Fiend and his spouse Mrs. Fiend as the driving force of the band. Alien Sex Fiend became one of the regular acts at the legendary Batcave club, which has become known as the home of many other goth bands. A very special "Batcave 30th Anniversary Show" in London on 1st December 2012, marked 30 years to the very day that Alien Sex Fiend played their first ever gig at the original Batcave club.
The band's sound is always evolving - nightmarish drones, psychotic samples, throbbing synths, analogue drums and heavy guitar work all gouged and distorted with Nik Fiend's notorious thick cockney drawl growling over the top. A genuine edge of trippy insanity & excitement that's sickly euphoric.
