Plan 9 (band)

Plan 9 is an American neo-psychedelic[1] band from Rhode Island formed in 1979.

Plan 9 from Rhode Island

The group was named for the 1950s science fiction film Plan 9 from Outer Space.[2][3]

The Calgary Herald wrote, in 1989, "Its music has that spirited, no-holds-barred feel of rock from the '60s while managing to not sound dated."[4]

The band was inducted into the Rhode Island Music Hall of Fame in 2017, alongside Throwing Muses and several other acts.
