Transylvania = Digipack = (CD)
Creature with the Atom Brain was founded as a one-man home recording project sometime in early 2005 by Aldo Struyf, in-between recordings and touring with Millionaire and The Mark Lanegan Band. After debuting with two 12" EPs 'The Snake' (2005) and 'Kill the Snake' (2006) Struyf reunited with Millionaire & Evil Superstars drummer Dave Schroyen to transform the project into a full band.

The release of "I Am The Golden Gate Bridge" was immediately followed by a trip across the Atlantic to support shoe gaze icons The Jesus And Mary Chain on a US reunion tour (a tour for which Tim Vanhamel temporarily assumed bass playing duties) and, shortly after, at a sold-out London Roundhouse. Back in Europe, Creature went on to tour with befriended bands Qotsa and Twilight Singers, while given the opportunity to make new friends opening up for Butthole Surfers, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, Comets on Fire and Motorpsycho.
