Spaceships Are Cool were formed by Rob Maddison in the summer of 2005 and are based in the city of nottingham, UK.

Spaceships are cool use toy phones, melodicas, cheesey synths, glockenspiels and miniature drumkits to make their music.

Rob spent many days recording & performing as a drummer & programmer in bands in Nottingham & Newcastle upon tyne. It was whilst drawing doodles & day-dreaming on planes and tour buses, between playing gigs on a volcano in iceland, a converted barn in Sweden & at a bizzare show in a ballroom in Caeser's palace las vegas, that Rob decided it was time to start his own band & transform these adventures into music... the result is 'spaceships are cool'.

Inspired by spending too much time watching films like Barbarella, Forbidden planet, dark star & 2001; Spaceships are cool combine all manner of electronic beat n bleep machines with acoustic guitars and chilled out vocal layers to create a wonderland of organic lo-fi fun.
