Artist description
Stargazer plays noisy textured pop built around convention and the lack thereof. Working with a "traditional" band format of guitar/bass/drums and then addingvarious analog keyboards and drum machines, Stargazer creates a dense wall of sound. They draw influence from the likes of Sonic Youth, My Bloody Valentineand Medicine, but don't limit themselves to the genre of blurry guitar pop. Firm believers in utilizing the full dynamic and sonic spectrum, they have rumbling lows,smooth bright highs and the ability to go from a whispering bass line to a screaming wall of guitar feedback. |

Artist History
Stargazer formed in 1994 under the moniker of Squelch. After a few years of playing in the suburban DIY circuit, they were forced to change their name due to otherartists with the same name. Once they decided on the name Stargazer and a new bassist was in place, they began their plot to take over the world. Starting out with ashow opening for They Might Be Giants at Loyola University and then moving onto several shows at the Fireside Bowl, and a couple personnel changes, Stargazerhave been destined for fame and world domination. |
