Fans of mod-influenced rock n' roll will surely dig Star Collector.
Having finished mixing with GGGarth Richardson (Red Hot Chili
Peppers, Rage Against The Machine, 54-40, Catherine Wheel, Rusty),
these beat-boys have no interest in 7-minute drum solos. Their debut
CD, Demo Model 256, & the singles, Skyscraper & Slowfade, have been
getting airplay on Vancouver's CFOX (Including 2 on-air interviews),
CBC's Radio Escapade & RadioSonic & CFOX's The David Hawkes Show.
Also, local stations CITR & CFRO have been playing numerous cuts.
Star Collector's 1st video, Skyscraper, recently appeared on
MuchMusic, MuchWest & CBC & the band has played live on VTV Breakfast
& Rogers Daytime. On July 17, they recorded Leonard Cohen's
'Bird On The Wire' for the upcoming feature film "Sons Of Cohen".
Songs from Demo Model 256 are also featured on The Canadian
Independent Box Set, Northern Lights Vol. 1, Local Harmonies & Jet Set
Airport Lounge compilation CD's. To boot, a CD-rom put out by
Riffage.com called JetSet 2 Airport Lounge, which features
Skyscraper, was distributed with the June 2000 issue of SPIN Magazine.
On The WORLD!WIDE!WEB!, Star Collector has been a featured artist on
MP3.com (charting at #1 in the alternative/mod genre) & twice made
the 'Hot MP3's' list with Skyscraper. This song also charted at #1 on
