The Beta Band were a Scottish musical group formed in 1996. Their style was described as being "folktronica", mainly a blend of folk, psychedelia, electronica, post-rock and trip hop, often involving stylistic experimentation and occasional humour. They were praised by members of both Radiohead and Oasis, the former of which chose them to open for their concerts in 2001.[1] The band's music was featured in High Fidelity and It's All Gone Pete Tong.
