LISTEN TO YELLOW 45’s NEW SINGLE, “HITCHIN” A RIDE!”
Across the endless reaches of the universe on a small planet called Yellow 45, lived an-ahem, advanced race of aliens. For years, Earth television broadcasts bombarded their tiny planet with Top 40 music shows from the 1970s. The aliens became obsessed with the songs and were highly entertained. The Midnight Special became their Holy Grail. Bitten by the show biz bug and the lure of popular culture, our intrepid time-travelers departed for Earth through star-studded space to a star-studded place called, Hollywood. They sought to bridge the gap of species, extend the hands of friendship, meet Wolfman Jack and start a band of their own!
But something— went— wrong and they crashed in present day in the desert near Roswell, New Mexico. The aliens were found by secret government officials and taken to Area 51 for intensive scientific study. They surprised the scientists with their mastery of the English language, their keen sense of trivia and a penchant for nifty eyewear. Mistaking the scientists for high powered record company executives, the aliens made a simple request. They wanted to be Rock 'n’ Roll Super Stars!
Yet, they were DENIED!
Annoyed by their captors, the aliens commandeer the local oldies station, amp up the wattage and broadcast their playlist coast to coast. Convinced they can control the airwaves and conquer the music world, our fearless crew start a tribute band and commence a nationwide tour in search of the ME decade and The Midnight Special (or Don Kirchner's Rock Concert, whichever they come upon first.)
Winning hearts and melding minds of 70's music fans everywhere, please welcome the Badass Aliens™ of the music world, Yellow 45™!
Badass aliens unite!
Meet the Badass aliens of Yellow 45!
Zee.43
Meet Zee.43, a tambourine spankin’ mix of spunky punk rock diva and free-spirited flower child who mysteriously channels an earlier decade’s 60’s idealism. Zee is the peace arbiter in the group, who remains the voice of reason and often calls out the questionably ambitious nature of Zik. Zee sings out-of-this-world background vocals.
Nate.48
Meet Nate.48, the youngest member of the alien crew, joyfully self-absorbed with youthful enthusiasm. Funny and talented, Nate is star-struck by every twinkle in the night sky. His dream is to sing for the masses, yet he’s plagued with self- doubt. Can Nate beat the interstellar odds and capture the hearts of millions? His life’s goal is to travel back to the 70s and perform on the Midnight Special. Nate more than tickles the ivories, he’s a rockin’ keyboardist.
Zor.44
Meet Zor.44, a conceptual optimist with utopian visions. He concocts outlandish schemes to advance the Alien race. Zor can be an over-thinker and struggles between imperialist tendencies and his pacifist morals. Often mixing up facts and trivia, his leadership abilities remain in question. Zor thumps the electric bass.
Zu.42
Meet Zu.42, our kick-ass guitar hero, yet reserved introvert. She speaks volumes with her guitar skills and expresses her thoughts with riffs in place of words. Zu lives for Rock n’ Roll. She is en route to Earth from our home planet and will be joining us soon.
Zik.46
Meet Zik.46, the rival older brother living in the shadow of Nate.48. He plays second guitar with ambitions to not only take over the music world, but the whole world as well. Zik can be a bit of a plotter, but is easily suppressed. Zik was held up with passport issues on our home planet and will be joining us soon.,, hopefully!

What you give is what you get.

We are learning how to play Love is like Oxygen by Sweet!
-
We use the stars primarily as a map for travel, but since the culture of our planet does not record birthdates, we have no way for them to be a map for our personalities. In recent light years, however, there is a rumor that our Supreme Leader holds the entire population of Yellow 45’s birthdays in a secret vault. Maybe someday we will all be able to celebrate our birthdays like you do on Earth. It may take a coup!

Enough to make it interesting.
-
We love it so please take care of it and do not blow it up! We love Earth Day and are mystified by it’s waning popularity since the 1970s. Why aren’t more people concerned and why do you take Cilmate Change deniers seriously as presidential candidates?
-
We find it interesting, but are concerned about the brutality aspects. We have recently heard about the effects of concussions. We studied the sport’s history and found a unique less sophisticated pre-helmet period. In these modern times, we support the groundbreaking addition of “Guardian Caps.” Some that we recommend are the Riddell SpeedFlex, The Schutt F7, The Ridell 360, and Speed Icon, as well the Schutt Vengeance Pro LTD II.

New experiences. Your deepest darkest secrets and an unlimited supply of Quisp Cereal. But we’d give it all away for a slot on the Midnight Special in 1974. Our time-traveling talents do not always work as planned, but we keep trying.
