70s/80s Toronto band. Two claims to fame: around the time of Hope
(1977), rumors began to swirl that Klaatu was a super-secret Beatles reunion (a clue: Ringo Starr's The Day the Earth Stood Still motif for Goodnight Vienna); false, of course, and Klaatu wasn't taken seriously after that. Second, a song from that LP, "Calling Occupants of Interplanetary Craft", became a hit, in a cover version by the Carpenters - not good for one's rawk cred.
