Artist History The Mighty Stars are four young Bristol scamps with a major preoccupation with Girls, Girls, Girls. Similar to such bands as the Undertones and the Buzzcocks, they combine a brash raw energy with an intimate understanding of the intricacies of the three-minute pop nugget. Formed at the beginning of 2001, within two months the band had recorded a demo that was later played by both Steve Lamacq on the Evening Session (BBC Radio One) and Adam Walton (BBC Radio Wales); this happened despite the fact that none of the band could even play their instruments. The last few months have seen The Mighty Stars locked away, honing their act. With new chords learnt and a new demo recorded the band are at last ready to take over the world.

Group Members Matt sings, Rob plays Bass, Ian is the guitarist and Gary hits the Drums.

Press Reviews NO BRAINS RECORDS: This is a band girls should go crazy about. VENUE (Bristol/South West Arts Magazine): The Mighty Stars are a great Bristol-based band playing in the grand garage tradition, that will be The Standells or the Chocolate Watch Band as opposed to So Solid Crew. STEVE LAMACQ (BBC Radio One): A bit rough but they have got potential. CHOKE (Underground Music Zine, Bristol):Every garage/mod/70's punk-pop cliche in the book carried off with panache. The Mighty Stars exist exclusively to make people happy and that is good. The frontman is ace and the bass player has the most rock and roll dancing eyebrows in pop. DECODE (Arts Magazine, Bristol/Bath): 60s tinged beat punk that makes a refreshing change from all that intense racket that is so prevalent these days. BRISTOL EVENING POST: Short, sharp songs about perennial youth woes.
