Formed in 1986, released 2 albums, an ep and a greatest hits/rarities comp, but then vanished mysteriously in 1989 somewhere over Providence Rhode Island in a single engine Beechcraft while on tour with famed singing rodeo stars "Desi Arnaz and The Entire Country of Argentina". Rumor has it they parachuted to safety and have been raising fresh water lobsters on a raft in Long Island Sound and painstakingly recording their 3rd album "I'm The Prom Queen."
Although mainly gigging with local hardcore and post punk bands, Invaders From Sears were arguably the first "industrial" band in western connecticut, and definitely the seminal regional noisepop band (spawning CT superstars BunnyBrains, Freakbaby and Monsterland), and were a favorite band and influence of Moby and Sonic Youth in the late 80s. (The intro to the Ciccone Youth "Whitey Album" was endearingly "ripped off" from the intro to the first Invaders From Sears album). Recording entirely on a 3 track portastudio that once belonged to Peter Frampton, and armed with a studio full of furniture, kitchen utensils and occasionally some actual musical instruments, the Vaders chugged out a large variety of tunes ranging from samplercore, foamcore, and dippycore, scary noise collage and post new wave/proto indie pop.
