They come to planet earth with just one mission; find the leader of this wacky planet. Drawing inspriration from the sounds of the Caribbean and Africa, Spaceship Excellent fuse together hip-hop, and rock with an expansive sound.

“A Spaceship Excellent show is a humanist revival, a community assembly, a dance party, a come-one-comeall cosmic exhibition. They have played for hundreds of fans at several Seattle venues including Chop Suey and the Comet. Captain Beaujangles’s rhymes are those of a true storyteller with a global conscience and a gift for wordplay.”
