Plan 9 (band)

Plan 9 is an American neo-psychedelic band from Rhode Island formed in 1979.

The group was named for the 1950s science fiction film Plan 9 from Outer Space.

The Calgary Herald wrote, in 1989, "Its music has that spirited, no-holds-barred feel of rock from the '60s while managing to not sound dated."

The band was inducted into the Rhode Island Music Hall of Fame in 2017, alongside Throwing Muses and several other acts.
