Alpha Stone has been played on NTS shows including Jun Takahashi, with Martian Interlude first played on 1 May 2019.

Pete Bain was an original member of Spacemen 3, with them for all their most important recordings, and he later formed The Darkside. Alpha Stone is his new band- "Like a less sublime, more groovy, danceable Spiritualized, the band merges spacey riffs with urban samples and mechanical drumbeats. Alpha Stone's down-to-earth sensibility and out-of-this-world sounds have an appeal of their own." (Magnet).
