'stellastarr*' is an American Indie rock band based in New York City. It is comprised of: Shawn Christensen (vocals, rhythm guitar), Amanda Tannen (bass, vocals), Arthur Kremer (percussion, keyboards) and Michael Jurin (lead guitar, vocals).
The band formed in March 2000 from the ashes of a previous musical effort (Ghistor) made by Shawn, Amanda, and Arthur while studying art and design at the Pratt Institute in Brooklyn. A few years later, after a chance meeting with Michael, who had recently relocated to Brooklyn from his hometown Philadelphia, the former classmates reunited, this time with Shawn on vocals.
stellastarr* played their first gig at the Luna Lounge on the Lower East Side of Manhattan in July 2000 and began releasing a limited series of independent/homemade CDEPs shortly after. To date, they have toured with (amongst others) Jane's Addiction, The Raveonettes, Placebo, The Killers, and the Red Hot Chili Peppers.
stellastarr*'s second album, entitled Harmonies for the Haunted, was released on September 13, 2005. stellastarr* (2003) is currently released by RCA in the United States, and BMG worldwide. Harmonies for the Haunted is expected to be released in the UK in January 2006.
