What an amazing performance at The Highline Ballroom Thursday night! I wish there were a way to incorporate at least one more star in their name, because Stellastarr* deserves it. Shawn Christensen stole the show, took back his stage, and put the “Rock” back in Rock Star! If you are one of the people downloading Civilized for “free” you better get your ass’s to the show and help support their tour. Nothing is free, and it was the I pod that killed the radio starr*
Stellastarr* is on the road again in support of their third full length album CIVILILZED. I had the opportunity to hang with the Stars during a very special recording session at Sirus radio where exclusive versions of Graffiti Eyes, Underneath the Knife, and Warchild were recorded live on air! If you missed their interview/guest DJ spot last week, not to worry they will be airing these exclusive tracks again July 22nd through the 25th through out the day for your audio pleasure!
New York, give these guys a warm welcome back and show your support at The Highline Ballroom on July 16th!
Guess who’s about to release their 3rd album, go on a big US tour, and play a big show at The Highline Ballroom? That’s right, Stellastarr* is back and putting the asterisk back in star! After almost a four year hiatus of their 2nd album release Harmonies for the Haunted and parting ways with the RCA/BMG/SONY behemoth, most people thought this new-wave quartette fizzled out like a sweet soda pop. Instead like a fine wine maturing with age, they have taken their time and newly found freedom to put together an album they are proud to call their own.
July 6th through the 10th SS* will be guest hosting on Sxmu with Jake Folgenast from 10-11am Eastern Time. They will also be performing live on air some of the tracks from Civilized, their new album that will drop on July 7th!!! You can also catch a peek of Civilized on myspace, as they release one-minute samples of some of their new material!
Hope to see you at The Highline, hope it doesn’t sell out before you decide to get off your lazy butts and buy the tickets.
