THE OFFICIAL PRESS RELEASE...
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
STAR NO STAR - RECORD RELEASE PARTY, TUESDAY, AUGUST 24th
Los Angeles, CA. August, 2004: Local favorites, STAR NO STAR will be hosting a record release party at the Knitting Factory on Tuesday, August 24th. The group will be performing tracks from their self-titled debut CD which will be released on the Los Angeles - based label, Misplaced Records.
Formed in the winter of 2002, STAR NO STAR features ex-members of critically acclaimed Los Angeles bands Gwen Mars and Electrolux. Bassist Matt Westfield of Gwen Mars joined with former Electrolux members, Bobby Diaz (vocals) and K Bombay (Guitar) in hopes of creating music that was dreamy, dark, noisy and, most importantly, music that rocks. Joined by drummer Nick Lane, STAR NO STAR has achieved what the band set out to do.
With the release of their debut CD, the band recalls the sounds of such groups as Jesus and the Mary Chain, Guided by Voices and The Pixies. It’s guitar- based dream pop with emotional vocals and catchy melodies - sonic lullabies for the “damned.” The group has already begun to garner positive reviews:
"Polished and passionate, the songs that are destined for the quartet's debut pulse with 80's influences such as the Cult and the Cure".
Kevin Bronson - THE LOS ANGELES TIMES
STAR NO STAR is joined by special guest’s Lowfive, Once Upon America and Thinking Aloud. Admission is free for 21 & over and $3 for those 21 & under. For further information please call the Knitting Factory at 323 463-0204.
