Beta Band members are Aliens

Ex-Beta Banders, Gordon Anderson, John Maclean, and Robin Jones, have been creating new music under the name The Aliens for a few years now. In 2008 their sophomore album, Luna, was self-released by the band. Now, a year later, The Aliens are preparing to re-release Luna with Birdman Records on October 20. The catch? It's going to include a 50+ page book.

The details on the book are as follows:

The Aliens are creating a special limited-edition 50+page hard cover book, all color, and high rising book which will also house the record.The book will include drawings, poems, film stills, photographs, interviews...all done in the standard Alien manor. This special edition item will be sold through the Birdman website using Topspin's Direct-to-fan marketing and distribution platform. Topspin technology helped power recent indie releases from David Byrne/Brian Eno, Metric, and re-issues from the Beastie Boys. The book will be available for pre-order in September.
