About

In the summer of 2007, in a house basement, Josh Hodges sat behind a stripped-down borrowed drumset with a loop pedal and a microphone with the simple goal of having fun with the young crowd gathered there for the show. A few short months later, a project invented solely out of the need for something different and new in his life had him sharing the stage with former Sexton Blake band-mate Ryan Biornstad and new friend Shawn Glassford to create a potent live show. The recent addition of Keil Corcoran as full-time drummer has freed-up both Shawn and Josh, whom previously shared duties sitting behind the kit, to fill out their sound and further dynamicise their performance.

Starfucker ended 2008 with a bang! Their debut album had been featured on iTunes Indie Spotlight and MySpace; their video premiered on Pitchfork, and they had one of the all-time most downloaded songs ("German Love") on eMusic's Daily Download. On Valentine's Day they played to their largest sold-out (900 folks) crowd in their hometown of Portland, Oregon. And less than nine months after delivering their debut, they are back with an eight song album.

After playing sold out shows to frenetic all-age audiences in their home town, Portland, OR, Starfucker is preparing to tour to the country again in support of Jupiter, a dance mini-LP. The album gives listeners a chance to hear tracks previously dedicated solely to the live show. They reign in their synth-heavy beat machine dialect for a fresh outlook on what dance music sounds like in their part of the universe.
