Pardon my language, Bob.
Starfucker. Urbandictionary.com has 3 definitions:
1) The original name of the Rolling Stones Song, “Star Star”,
2) One who screws entertainment stars, or,
3) A young girl who preps herself up and poses in order to attract the attention of older men, whether they are stars or not.
I like number 3. But unlike that definition, the band is made up 4 guys, who apparently love basketball. Hailing from Portland, Oregon (Home of the Portland Trailblazers), they conjure up a blend of indie-pop that is reminiscent of MGMT (their first ‘Climbing to New Lows’) and Of Montreal. Incredibly groovy basslines and danceable synth drum loops make their songs oh-so-head-bopping. I guess what separates them from MGMT is that they are less psychedelic and happier-sounding. But that’s just me. Not to be confused with another Belgian punk-pop band called ‘Starfucker’ as well please!
