About

Alien Chicks are a trio hailing from the streets of South London, known for their electrifying blend of punk, rap and jazz. They create a sound that is both raw and innovative, capturing the spirit of London’s underground music culture. The lineup features the vocals and sharp guitar work of Josef Lindsay, the pulsating basslines of Stefan Parker-Steele, and the explosive drumming of Martha Daniels.

The band’s journey began in grassroots venues across the city, in particular The Windmill, Brixton, where their high-energy performances and unique sound helped them build a loyal following. Their relentless gigging paid off, leading to sold-out shows at iconic spots such as The Lexington, and the 100 Club. With huge momentum following their biggest London headliner yet at a sold-out Oslo, Hackney in May 2025, and four iconic sets at The Great Escape, the band are primed for a busy summer with appearances at Glastonbury Festival as well as festivals in France and Germany.

They released their second EP ‘Forbidden Fruit’ on 9th May 2025, just after a headline tour around Germany and the Netherlands, and support tours and slots with Lambrini Girls and Big Special. This adds to the list of renowned acts they have shared stages with, including English Teacher, Fat Dog, The Libertines, and Warmduscher, to name a few.

Alien Chicks’ music is a testament to their diverse influences and fearless approach to genre. Whether delivering rapid-fire rap verses, intricate jazz-inspired bass riffs, or thunderous punk rhythms, Alien Chicks continue to push boundaries and defy expectations.

Praise across the media landscape has been received from The Independent, NME, DIY, Dork, Clash, CMU and Rough Trade, whilst plaudits have also circulated across the BBC Radio 1 (Jack Saunders, Arielle Free, Amy Lamé), BBC 6 Music (Steve Lamacq, Tom Robinson) and Radio X (John Kennedy) airwaves.

In October 2025, they will head out on their biggest headline tour to date, spending the best part of a month in the UK and Europe.
