About Me

WE WANT TO PLAY SHOWS! If you're a promoter, get in touch and we'll roll over to your local and play for you!

In 2005 the concept of a band named Stella Dawes was born, expressing the frustration of growing up in the middle of nowhere through the love of playing music. Nothing in our lives is as real as the passion that fuels us; the sweat that soaks our shirts, the ringing in our ears, the aching in our lungs. This is the only think left for us to believe in.

If you like our music please join our facebook group , 'cos you're worth it.

We have made an album called Contrasts and it is now ready to buy from us. We are selling it on a sliding scale so pay what you can. If we sold each copy at £5 then we would just about break even. So for anyone who wants to pay a little extra we would hugely appreciate it, and for those of you who are strapped for cash then you can slide under by a pound or two. We just want people to hear our music at the end of the day, and if that means losing a little then we'll just have to work some more shifts!

We've put 12 tracks on there and it's 52 minutes long so that works out at about £1 for every ten minutes, what a bargain! If you're not from the rainy island that we live on and don't deal in the faltering sterling currency, don't worry, paypal will convert it from pounds for you. If you don't have paypal then get in touch and we'll sort some other way out.

**The shopping cart doesn't seem to be working right now. While we try to fix it please feel free to paypal us at [email protected]. We will still receive it and send out the record the next day. Thanks**
