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 played bass and Brad played guitar; they both shared vocal duties. They called the band The Alien Beats. During a demo recording session drummer Jim Eno was brought in as a fill-in when the original drummer could not make it. Jim soon after became the band's permanent drummer.[2] This association led to the formation of Spoon in the following year.
