Created from the rotting remains of Glam, Punk and Psychedelic rock Alien Sex Fiend were born bleeding and screaming onto the British underground music scene in 1982. Not since the heady days of the late seventies when Lux and Ivy graced UK shores had there been such a demon twinning of evil rock n roll spirits. Nik and Mrs Fiend were to help establish the burgeoning Goth scene with its HQ The Batcave only to transcend the scene completely and metamorphose into possibly the most uncompromising, shocking and downright entertaining bands of the decade. Their debut single on Anagram Records, Ignore The Machine established them as indie chart favourites and became an instant anthem for kids disillusioned with the increasingly sugary state of the British music charts. ASF's relentless aural violence has never really been equalled, even by their most infamous pretender to the throne, Marilyn Manson.
This was beyond rock n roll and took showmanship to dizzy heights, combining fever pitch musicianship with a DIY ethic that is at once tasteless and sublime. A Purple Glistener was shot at the Tin Can Club, Birmingham 16/09/1983 and contains most of the material off their debut album, Who's Been Sleeping In My Brain, released the same year.
