KLAATU

Klaatu was a Canadian band that released music in the 1970s and 1980s. Their first album, '3:47 EST,' came out in 1976 and drew attention for its polished, Beatlesque production. The group consisted of John Woloschuk on vocals and guitar, Dee Long on keyboards and vocals, and Terry Draper on drums and percussion.

They played at the California Jam festival in 1974, performing their song 'California Jam' alongside acts like Black Sabbath and Aerosmith. The track 'Calling Occupants Of Interplanetary Craft' became their best-known work, later covered by the Carpenters. Other songs in their catalog include 'Dear Christine' and 'A Routine Day.'

Klaatu kept their identities private for a time, which led to rumors that they might secretly be the Beatles reunited. This speculation overshadowed their actual music for a while. They put out albums like 'Hope' in 1977 and 'Endangered Species' in 1980, but never achieved major commercial success.
