Creature with the Atom Brain
Creature with the Atom Brain is a Belgian alternative rock band consisting of Millionaire keyboardist Aldo Struyf (Guitar/Keys/Vocals), Dave Schroyen (Drums), Jan Wygers (Bass) and Michiel Van Cleuvenbergen (Guitar). The band have been said to make "fuzzy stripped-back rock’n'roll noise with a generous helping of weird." The band's name is taken from the Roky Erickson & The Aliens song (Which in turn was taken from the 1955 film of the same name), with Struyf citing Erickson's former band The 13th Floor Elevators and the man himself as influencing Creature with the Atom Brain's sound.
After two 12" EPs on Conspiracy records, the band released their first full-length album on March 24, 2008, entitled I am the Golden Gate Bridge. The album notably featured guest vocals from fellow Millionaire band-member Tim Vanhamel and Mark Lanegan, Struyf having provided keyboards and toured for the latter's Bubblegum album. Creature with the Atom Brain have since toured in support of the album, including playing cancelled shows for Masters of Reality and supporting Jesus and Mary Chain on selected shows.

The Station
by: Cameron RafatiIts another late night, you might be wondering what’s this package you received
You don’t know how you got it….
But on the front it says ‘give to Stephanie’
I talked to you a couple times while all the other boys were inebriated
The blue glow of the screen shines your pretty face where Im fixated
Do you feel your ears keep ringing when the night finally ends…
Like a bell. Very soon I will see you again.
They’ve fallen in love with you,
Cause your smile shines right through every crowd that you’re in.
I can’t help but to notice you, It feels just so hard to avoid…
The dimples in your chin formed a song that I finally had to sing
The ovals in your eyes waste me more than all the shots that you might bring.
Yes they did.
The practice my patience when I saw you at foundation that a clue
Too loud for conversation so I’ll maybe hope to see you at Whole Foods
As for now this song is the best I could do to get through to you
Through the frowns and the smoke babe I think you’re the truth..
They’ve fallen in love with you,
Cause your smile shines right through every crowd that you’re in.
I can’t help but to notice you, and I feel it’s so hard to avoid…
And I know that I’ve eyes on you
Best thing is that you don’t know who
I promise that you won’t be dissapointed
I Just want to hang out with you
