Alien Probe plays The Palms Saturday night, promising pyschedelia, pop quizzes and… probing (6/28)

Have you been probed? That’s the question on the mind of the cosmically iconic hi-desert freak-out band Alien Probe. Front-woman Space-Chick’s rantings about aliens, George Van Tassel, and probes is supported by the band’s outlandish pyschedelia. Their music is as at home here on the Morongo Basin’s dusty terra firma as it would be dancing on along the icy rings of Neptune.

Alien Probe is playing Saturday night (June 28) at The Palms at Wonder Valley, and in a first for the “First Contact”-themed band, they’ll be inviting audience members to particiapate in what they are calling the “Hot Seat Probing Pop Quiz Game Show.” I can’t tell you what that means, but Space Chick promises it will be exciting.

Get probed Saturday night with Alien Probe, along with local hardcore act Crowl starting at 7:45 p.m. Donations for spaceship-fuel will be appreciated. 

And if you miss them at the Palms, the band this week dropped a three-track ep featuring their recent live performance at the Giant Rock Meeting Room.
