Ty Walker and the Humanoids have a backstory that's out of this world. Legend has it that frontman Ty Walker was abducted by aliens (who called themselves "The Humanoids") from his tiny hometown of Roscoe, Montana. These ragtag extraterrestrials, with a peculiar liking for old-fashioned country music, saw something in Ty and chose him as their frontman. Since then, they've been traversing the multiverse, honing their strange sonic craft. Their live shows are something of a cosmic spectacle, featuring the large-headed, bug-eyed aliens themselves adorned in matching black western wear, a pedal-steel-playing android, and Ty—the perhaps reluctant cowpoke frontman who leads the audience through an otherworldly set. The show is a multimedia experience with sci-fi elements that often includes a tin-foil hat contest for attendees to join in. While The Humanoids may think they're playing human country music, what comes out is a genre-bending fusion of alt-country, art rock, soul, sampledelia, swamp, and psychedelic rock. To date, they've released two full-length records, their debut "Where the Hell is Roscoe?" (2022) followed by "Home on the Strange" (2024) which has been getting played all over the country topping NACC Top 100 (College Radio Charts) and reaching audiences all across planet Earth, as well as the multiverse.
