Invaders

There are two bands known as Invaders: 1. The new band led by Joe Meredith, formerly of the Beatles-esque Merediths, is surprising not just because of Meredith’s more poppy pedigree, but also because there are few bands left making sounds like this. The Invaders live near rock music but probably won’t be understood by the AC/DC fan next door. Fans of the Sun City Girls and early Butthole Surfers will be pleased, however, to find a new psychedelic, grainy mindblast of a band.
