Starbenders are a rock-n-roll dream come true for every hard luck dreamer occupying this third stone from the sun. Singer/songwriter Kimi Shelter is the love child Johnny Thunders and Joan Jett should have had, raised with an impeccable education from Blondie Elementary School, Def Leppard High, Bowie College, and a Ph.D. from Siouxie Sioux University in Fuck All Y’all. Aaron Lecesne brings ripping bass lines, vivid musicality, fashionista chic, and lightning rod stage energy. Kriss Tokaji is the literal embodiment of a Guitar Adonis whose fretboard mastery easily places him at the pinnacle of today’s young guns, a legend in the making. Enter Qi Wei, a trailblazing force from China, whose kinetic rhythms and electric stage presence have made her the heartbeat of this next era. Starbenders have toured the world with everyone from Alice In Chains to Palaye Royale, destroying the entire house every time. They’ve issued twenty-seven releases in ten years - singles, EPs, and LPs, including their 2020 full-length, Love Potions, for Sumerian Records and the 2023 followup, Take Back The Night. With a work ethic as relentless as their fabulous vision, there is much more magic yet to come.
