The retro-swing group Alien Fashion Show was formed in 1996 by Eldon Daetweiler (his drummer brother Jeff), Todd Thurman (guitarist), Jeff Allen (bassist), Woodchuck Saito (keyboardist), and Todd Thurman (guitarist). All of these men are long-time L.A. club veterans. Alien Fashion Show quickly became a favourite among West Coast after-hours martini drinkers. In 1998, they signed to Surfdog to release their debut album. Allmusic
