Alfa 9 Formed in Newcastle-Under-Lyme, this photogenic quintet are the latest in a long line of musicians who tap into the British equivalent of ’cosmic americana’. Inspired initially by The Stone Roses, Shack, and Verve’s debut album ’A Storm In Heaven’ they have traced their influences to the source, embracing everything from ’Dark Side Of the Moon’ to the West Coast Pop Art Experimental band en route. The name, meanwhile, was indirectly inspired by literary great William Burroughs.
