Starpost profits from the cultural diversity of each one of its members. They formed in 2008 and released their first independent EP "The Future is Now" in January 2009. It consists of 5 songs and has been available since January 2009. It explores melodic sonic landscapes created by both the guitar and the Rhodes piano resting on the shoulders of both a warm and solid bass line and a precise and diverse rhythm section. "The Future is Now" was available just in time for Starpost's first gig of 2009 in Nuremberg, which was followed by several other gigs in different cities during the first half of the year. The band began receiving a very positive response from the audiences and saw a surprising, albeit secretly expected, high demand for their EPs at their gigs.
The second half of the year started with a show near Kassel and one more at the "Altstadt Festival" in Saarbrucken and "The Future is Now" EP started creating buzz with the single "Stray Away" receiving radio airplay on EgoFM. With the most important cities from Bavaria (Munich, Nuremberg, Regensburg, etc.) now able to listen to Starpost on the radio, and after some shows in different cities in southern Germany, the band goes to Munich and appears at the "Live & Unplugged" show on EgoFM, where they give an interview and play stripped down versions of two of their songs, including the debut of a new song called "Our Ghosts Will Chase You". Starpost also gets some airplay and gives interviews on important radio stations in the city of Nuremberg, such as StarFM and Radio Gong. In September, Starpost's "Daydream" is featured on the Mercedes Benz Mixed Tape 28 compilation, which further broadens the band's exposure, this time allowing them to reach a more international audience. They also take part in the "Local Heroes" festival, gathering 8 of the best new acts from the state of Bavaria, which later lands them an opportunity to headline a concert at the venue where the show took place, the renowned MUZ Club in Nürnberg.
For the remainder of 2009, they are set to play shows in and around Nürnberg and are preparing to start the recording sessions for a full-length album, along with plans to take their live show and their music to more places around Germany.
