Writing in a pubs back room close to their housing estate, The Bayview gave the band their name and allowed them to get about making it as a young band in the real world. Considering they were all born after 1986 it may be considered odd by some that they state their songwriting influences as Crowded House, the Beatles & Squeeze.

With music the only means by which to put a roof over their heads and food on the table the band then began to live a MONKEES style existence, living and rehearsing in an old backstage room at the Doghouse, a well respected Dundee venue. These self taught, spontaneous kids casually blew away other established bands at every subsequent gig, and soon gathered massive local respect. The maniacal fans loyally followed, closely attached to the band.

I feel like its just meant to happen for us right now, says Peter. A small band from Dundee play two gigs and sign to a small Dundee label, a couple of months later they sign to a bigger label, then theres a major music festival in Dundee for the first time - and were on the bill! Not only that, but people are going mad for us. Its just meant to be. We used to read books about The Libertines and think to ourselves, Id love it if James Endeacott signed us, then a couple of weeks later, hes on the phone offering us a record contract. Its been totally weird.

Its only going to get weirder. Boasting an album of incredible songs, and ever-growing band of believers, the rest of the UK is about to find out what the residents of Dundee have known for some time (and have no qualms about making it audibly clear throughout every gig the band ever play) - The View Are On Fire!

Robots From Mars





Aug 17 2008 3:01 PM

The ROBOTS FROM MARS have a new song,
“Spaceship Earth”

“Better plug your ears so that your brains don’t leak out…”
Johnny Air Guitar.

Visit their My Space page to experience the #1 song from the Red Planet.
The reviews have begun to come in:


“Spaceship Earth is destined to become the worst song of all time!”
The Psychic News Network

“Spaceship Earth sounds like it was played by a bunch of drunken robots…”
The Snob Blog & Party Hearty Militia

“Can’t wait to jam with the Robots From Mars!”
Bill Clinton

“Yuck Yuck…The Robots From Mars sound like Devo on uppers…”
George W.

“The Robots From Mars are incredibly boring in a heavy handed low brow sort of way.”
Dick Cheney

“Spaceship Earth will take you to a place that you don’t want to go!”
Barak Obama

“Just like some Democrats we know,” John McCain


“If you are really really BUZZED and you squint really really hard, the Robots From Mars don’t SOUND half bad,” Bender,
“And it shouldn’t matter that they paid me to say that…
I still get to keep the money, right?”


“SPACESHIP EARTH”
By Some Dumb Robot From Mars


Build yourself up from the ground.
When you fall down you rebound.
There’s always more than one side.
Are you along for the ride?

Trust the friends that you know
When you’re caught in the undertow.

This spaceship
This blue world
That we call home
Can we close our eyes like we’re alone?

On the late great planet Earth
When we make war what’s love worth?
Why choose the grave over life?
Hard to make friends with a knife.
Care for the people that you know
When you’re rockin’ to-and-fro.

This spaceship
This blue world
That we call home
Can we close our eyes like we’re alone?

Is there paradise on the Moon?

Is there Heaven in this world?

Why try harder if there’s destiny?
Does God hold us in his hand?
This spaceship
This blue world
That we call home
Can we close our eyes like we’re alone?
Build yourself up from the ground.
