Bio
The Beta Band est un groupe écossais formé en 1996 par John Maclean, Richard Greentree, Steve Mason et Robin Jones.
Bénéficiant d'un grand succès critique, le groupe a rapidement atteint une popularité d'envergure internationale dès leur second album, avec le soutien de groupes comme Radiohead (pour lesquels ils ont occupé quelques premières parties en tournée) et Oasis. Leur style a été décrit comme un mélange inédit de folk, rock psychédélique, trip hop et hip-hop.

The Beta Band are a Scottish musical group formed in 1996, currently consisting of Steve Mason (vocals, guitar), Robin Jones (drums), John Maclean (keyboard, samples) and Richard Greentree (bass). Their style is described as being a blend of folk, psychedelia, electronica, post-rock and trip hop, often involving stylistic experimentation and occasional humour. They were praised by members of both Radiohead and Oasis, the former of which chose them to open for their concerts in 2001.
After disbanding in 2004 due to financial difficulties, Jones and Maclean joined former bandmate Gordon Anderson to form spin-off band the Aliens; Mason worked in other music projects before embarking on a solo career. The band later reformed in 2025 to tour Britain and the United States.
