Klaatu was a Canadian rock groupformed in 1973 by the duo of John Woloschuk and Dee Long. They named themselves after an ambassador, Klaatu, from an extraterrestrial confederation who visits Earth with his companion robot Gort in the film . After recording two non-charting singles, the band added drummer to the line-up; this trio constituted Klaatu throughout the rest of the band's recording career
