FROM THEIR SELF-TITLED DEBUT ALBUM, WHICH IS OUT NOW - LISTEN HERE
Last week, UK band KillerStar released their debut album which received critical acclaim with 4* reviews in The Times, MOJO and RNR Magazine. Now they prepare to play their headline album launch show tomorrow (March 16) at London’s 100 Club. The band’s founders Rob Fleming (vocals, guitar, synths) and James Sedge (drums) will be joined by three of the key musicians on the album in the shape of keyboardist Mike Garson, guitarist Mark Plati, and vocalist Emm Gryner (who will also play an opening solo set), along with keyboardist Dom Beken (Nick Mason’s Saucerful of Secrets, The Orb), and guitarist Kevin Armstrong.
Today (March 15), they also release of a brand-new video for the track “Feel It.” Watch it HERE.
KillerStar is a new band led by Rob Fleming and James Sedge which features an array of David Bowie’s most trusted collaborators: Mike Garson on piano, Earl Slick and Mark Plati on guitar, Gail Ann Dorsey and Tim Lefebvre on bass, Emm Gryner on backing vocals, and Donny McCaslin on saxophone. Collectively they have crafted a sound which fuses the scale of classic rock with sophisticated harmonies and elements of art rock.
KillerStar express timeless ‘70s musicianship and art-rock invention through a contemporary prism, highlighted by the singles “Got Me All Wrong,” “Falling Through”, You’re A Chameleon and “Should’ve Known Better.” The band was formed by Fleming and Sedge to capture a sound that they felt was missing: one that linked the current resurgence of psychedelia, the contemporary indie and alternative scenes, and the primal rush of early ‘70s rock ‘n’ roll. While they were definitively David Bowie fans, the idea of assembling a team of his collaborators arose more by chance than design when Rob invited Emm Gryner to contribute vocals before the other members arrived almost fortuitously.
With songs exuding gritty rock ‘n’ roll and time-honoured glamour, the record was full written and arranged by Rob and James before being completed by some suitably top tier collaborators. Mixing was provided by Dave Eringa, best known for his long-term creative connection with Manic Street Preachers, while digital mastering was provided by Joe La Porta and vinyl mastered by Miles Showell at Abbey Road.
The album is available HERE on limited edition 180-gram gold vinyl, black vinyl, CD and digital formats.
