"Alien Sex Fiend is a gothic rock band from the UK, composed of the married couple Nik Fiend and Mrs. Fiend. Currently, the band is based in Cardiff, Wales[citation needed].
Formed in the winter of 1982 at the Batcave club in London, the band became known in the gothic scene for their psychobilly, dark electronic, industrial sound, heavy samples and loops and manic vocals. The band has had limited mainstream success; in October 1985, their album Maximum Security reached #100 on the UK Albums chart and remained there for the week of October 12.[citation needed] However, throughout the early 1980s their work frequently charted on the UK Indie Chart[1] and remained a fixture on college radio.
The band recorded two BBC Peel Sessions in 1984. In May, they recorded "Attack!!!", "Dead And Buried", "Ignore The Machine" and "Hee Haw"; in August "In God We Trust", "E.S.T Trip To The Moon" and "Boneshaker Baby".
The band released the world's first 11" single, "E.S.T. (Trip To The Moon)" in October 1984. Their video for "Now I'm Feeling Zombified" was featured on an episode of the MTV animated series Beavis & Butt-head. The band also did the soundtrack for the Digital Image Design game Inferno."-Wikipedia
