Asplund looks back on the genesis of Martian Cult, with the first iteration of the band formed out of the ashes of his old group, Daisy & the Moonshines. Slowly, these initial ideas turned into the first Martian Cult songs. To date, Martian Cult have gone on three regional and national tours. This is not to undermine the importance of the local scene to Martian Cult, though, as one of the groups primary goals is to give people reasons to go out and see more of the great music surrounding them.
