Filed under: Lampsha Spins
I’ll be brief because you try searching (with limited time to allot) for information on a band named Stars and scroll through every constellation, country band, any song title with stars in it. I think I even saw the Starland Vocal Band in there. Even narrowing the search, bah — on to the music, I say!
Stars is an indie band which I believe was originally formed in Toronto, moved on over to New York for a bit and settled in Montreal. Or the reverse. Is it really important actually? What is important is the music which I have enjoyed any of their songs that I have heard from their latest release of this year, In Our Bedroom After the War. I believe this is also on my list to download and perhaps will be on yours as well…or not.
Listen to some tunes on their MySpace and then take a look at the video for Take Me To The Riot (which should be played as I awaken each morning to what my young son has in store as we get ready for work/school):
Have a great weekend.
Psst: There’s a laugh riot going on over at Humor-blogs.com.

Comment by snuppy Saturday, 26 January 2008 @ 11:13amThis album almost made my Top 20. There are some great songs on it including the one you posted, but it just didn’t stick like their others. I particularly love their “Set Yourself On Fire” album.
Comment by Howard Saturday, 26 January 2008 @ 11:22amI come dressed in the proper gear, Snupp - it’s all the difference
Rock on and enjoy! XOX
Howard, I’ll check that out a little further. Though I think I like the more rock driven direction they seem to have taken so I’m a fan of this one.
And what I didn’t have time to type in the post - they do wear their Smiths influence on their arm, which works for me.
Comment by DJ LAMPSHA Saturday, 26 January 2008 @ 11:32amThat was so pretty. Can always count on you
Comment by pia Saturday, 26 January 2008 @ 1:13pmto find good music. My new musical inspiaration
Pia, I thought so too. I’m blushing (or is that my fever back?). Or both. That I could inspire you in any way - my work here is done
Sidenote: Funny, the band/singer that I originally wanted to feature today reminded me of you in that if you ever make a movie from your book (which all will happen), I think the song would be perfect in it. But I couldn’t find the song and time was short so…
Comment by DJ LAMPSHA Saturday, 26 January 2008 @ 5:39pmVery nice. Sampled the music on their My Space page - lots of good stuff. Another excellent find DJ. Feel better.
Comment by BoBo Saturday, 26 January 2008 @ 6:25pmKind of an 80s sound, huh? Nice and, as always, great post.
Comment by Walela Saturday, 26 January 2008 @ 9:30pmThanks Bobo, I’m trying to.
Walela, yeah and I’m not always a fan of an 80’s sound made today, but I like this. Ah - go on.
To all - hope your week starts off gently.
Comment by DJ LAMPSHA Sunday, 27 January 2008 @ 10:54pmI like too…softer than I expected though…can’t always judge a rocker by his look.
Comment by Penguin Monday, 28 January 2008 @ 7:30pmNice, I like it a lot!
Watched this really late, but I loved it. These days it seems like there’s never enough time to do it all. Hope you’re feeling better.
