Bio
Fronted by guitar-smashing, soul singing, anthem-writing buzzbomb Evan Foster, Seattle's BOSS MARTIANS are thee Rock & Roll jet boys to look for in 2008! Got Songs?? HELL YES!! At least, that is, according to Rolling Stone's David Fricke who just anointed them "rising stars" referencing their addictive hooks, killer looks, and super-charged performance last summer in NYC at Little Steven's International Underground Garage Festival alongside The Strokes and Iggy Pop (among several others)! SPIN, quick to get aboard, said "the Boss Martians' irresistible 'I Am Your Radio' should make them stars" regarding the Foster-penned Power Pop instant-anthem. Taking it all over the top that day was the introduction they received from the "Boss" himself -- Bruce Springsteen -- to 10,000 people!

Martian History Lesson: Evan Foster and NickC (keyboards) met as teens in Tacoma, WA and discovered a mutual obsession with Garage, Punk, Surf, and Power Pop and they both wanted to start a band and take over the world -- enter The Boss Martians!! The Martians uniquely combine the primal energy of Punk with the raw, unmistakable sound and swagger of Northwest Garage Rock (think The Sonics!!), English blue-eyed soul, and the pure pop sensibility of a young, sneering Elvis Costello.

The last two years have been successful for the band with relentless DIY touring all over the U.S. and Europe -- and 2007 is shaping up to look even better! Big news on the Martian wire right now is that the Martians are co-writing a track for their new album with IGGY POP due out this Spring so keep your eyes and ears on the boys from Seattle in 2007!!
