about

In 1995, I met the lovely Jemila Hart. I don’t remember exactly how, who or what influence wrote the verses and choruses of this song, but I do know that Jemila always came to mind whenever I sang it. The original version was recorded to a terribly Lo-Fi drum loop and featured some pretty tripped out chorusey-delays on the vocals. There was also the sound of beer bottles clinking as percussion instruments (hopefully this gives you some idea of the conditions of our recording studio at that time). “Stargirl” eventually became one of the stalwart ‘go to’ rockers in our set list during the late 90’s.

On this recorded version, I was discussing with Nathan Junior how much The Cream era of Eric Clapton had inspired my playing. In response, he asked if he could lay down these tracks (I almost quit playing guitar for good after witnessing this!). The Commander laid down some mean harmonica and backing vocals over the top, and, of course, holding it all together on drums and screeching vocals is Luke ‘The Duke’ Strahota (in a pretty close approximation of how he performed it live, too).

We enjoy making music.

Biography:
We have all been victims of a musical nature. Join us in our therapy!

Instead of feeling forced to be a front man, I have decided to quit resisting and embrace it. We like to record an annual collection of songs and, every once in a while, even perform in public.

Please enjoy our various offerings!
