Stardeath (dad's band) Updates

So, Stardeath and White Dwarfs (SDWD) just played the Norman Music Festival yesterday. It was an amazing show with hundreds of people in the audience. Not too shabby for a performance in a tiny street at 4:45 on a hot, sunny, and muggy afternoon in Norman.. I will have more pictures of yesterday soon, but here is something I just found online:




Guardian UK names OKC's Stardeath 'New Band of the Day'
4/24/2009 10:35:10 AM

"Says Guardian UK's Paul Lester of the Oklahoma psychedelic rock at Stardeath and White Dwarfs in today's editions:


They're good. Really good. ...


You could call it psychedelic soul but that makes you think of the Temptations' circa Cloud Nine and that's not quite right. Cosmic country is closer but Gram Parsons this ain't – think more Band of Horses or My Morning Jacket if they were on 90s Warp. 'I Can't Get Away' is all mad fizzy synths and manic cartoon frenzy belying a serious, poignant message.


The buzz: "Stardeath & White Dwarfs' heavy, gods-hammering sound owes as much to sludgy prog-rock influences like King Crimson and Pink Floyd as it does to Uncle Wayne's oeuvre." Yep, he means Flaming Lips frontman Wayne Coyne.

Also, here is the new 7" vinyl for the Borderline single with the Flaming Lips:

Here is another 7" put out by the label. It is the "I Can't Get Away" single.

Stardeath in NME Magazine

This is an old article I found from last Spring where Stardeath was published in NME Magazine, so I had to post it..


(That's Casey on the left)

SXSW, Easter, etc.

So many things have happened since I have last posted, we have been extremely busy! Starting with our trip to see Casey play SXSW (South by Southwest, an annual music festival in Austin, TX), turning 6 months old, my first tooth! Casey leaving for tour again, and Easter!

I like to eat the veggies on my jumper, mmm!

I went to my grandma's to hang out

Then I fell asleep there.

This is me after eating some squash.  I made a mess.

 Later, we went back home.

Ah, mom! You caught me waking up from a nice nap.

6 MONTHS!

Here we are leaving for SXSW!  Austin, TX, Here we come!! 

I got these really cool sunglasses from my dad.

Then we got to the hotel in Austin.

Here is me eating one of my toes..  gross!

Then I got some sleep so I could rock later!

Me rockin with my grandma

 Oh man, I was sooo excited to see my dad!

Then he showed me the stage that he was going to play on.

I want to see the show too!

That's my dad's band!!

 

I didn't get to see my dad play, but I heard that it was a great show!

After the show Casey and I went and walked around downtown Austin.

The streets were filled with people!

Enjoying Austin.

My uncle Chris and grandma with a giant guitar.

My mom and uncle with another guitar in Austin on our last day.

On the way back home from Texas we stopped to get some food and stretch our legs.  Here I am at the restaurant with grandma.  I love my grandma!

We finally made it back, I was really glad I got to go, we had such a good time!

Here I am saying goodbye to Ms. Donette on her last day :(

Then my daddy got to come home for a little break in his tour!

He's trying to teach me to play the guitar already..

 

I got to meet Valerie and Herb's dog Lucy for the first time.
Man!  She is BIG!

 

Size comparison. Little me, BIG Lucy.

Me with mom's cousin Kelley!

Then I thought I would teach uncle Trevor a thing or two on Rock Band.

Let me try these sticks out first..

"Watch This"!

With my mom's cousin Claire.

 

Then we went out to eat and I drank some water, I really liked the water!

EASTER
