Stellastarr* - "Stellastarr*" @ Score! Music Magazine

	Stellastarr* - Stellastarr*
	Location	New York
	Initial Impression	Wow!... No really... WOW!
Notable Lyric	"Wonder what goes on in your brain. Wonder what goes on in your kitchen." - "Pulp Song"
Factoid	The band will be touring the UK with Jane's Addiction in November and then headlining ten dates. Rock on!
Serve With	The movie "Edward Scissor Hands", black tights, black dress, black shoes, black lipstick... you get the idea.
Comments	Remember that 80s alternative/new wave sound? If not, pop in this CD and you'll be reminded. It's The Cure, only different. It's Morrisey, yet more upbeat. It's Depeche Mode but darker. It's Echo & The Bunnymen and the Pixies, thought not quite. Think of your favorite band from that genre and you'll find it mixed in Stellastarr* with a twinge of The Cranberries and Len for background effect and a dash of modern electronica to keep it fresh. Love it! And had it not been for my sister's wedding weekend, I might have actually been able to catch them live this past weekend. Though I'm not sure they could have competed with the entertainment factor of the groom passing out from heat exhaustion, my cousin Eric's imitation of Michael Jackson dancing and my Uncle's inappropriate comments about my "figure". But from what I hear, they can hold their own!
