Boston Spaceships was a rock band featuring Robert Pollard and Chris Slusarenko of Guided By Voices, and John Moen of The Decemberists and Perhapst. The name of the band came from a nickname Pollard gave to the Boston cream donut from Krispy Kreme, which is Pollard's favorite donut. The band released several albums before disbanding in 2011 with their final album Let it Beard.

In June 2008 Pollard announced he had formed a new recording project, Boston Spaceships. Pollard's confidence in the band led to a seventeen date fall tour that began in late September. For the band's sole set of live dates Pollard, Moen and Slusarenko were joined by longtime Pollard collaborators Tommy Keene and Jason Narducy.

The band's first album Brown Submarine was released in September and received good reviews, scoring the highest score for a Pollard release on metacritic since GBV's Earthquake Glue five years prior [1]. The album was named the 12th best album of 2008 by Magnet Magazine [2]. The band released two 7 inch records, Headache Revolution and You Satisfy Me to round out the year.

The band released their second album The Planets are Blasted in February 2009. The album featured guest appearances by Greg Demos (GBV 1990-99), Gary Jarman (The Cribs) and Chris Funk (The Decemberists).
