Hi
we are the starkadders - welcome if this is your first contact- if not hope you enjoy the new songs on here:-
The band is a pulsating three piece -acoustic guitar,2 vocals,hamonica,bass and drums and some wierd effects thrown in!
We have just finished our demo album[July 09] 'A brief history of Love and War' for a free copy [just £1 for postage-cheque will do-] e mail me - and I will send a copy...
[email protected] is ,as ever a labour of love - 12 songs- some with very tricky sounds and fantastic production by Jon Smith our bass player.in case you're wondering, we got the name from a 1930's[i think..] comic novel[stella gibbons anyway] .The starkadders in the story being a family who farm on the south downs- Certain of the younger ones are liable to uncontrollable and passionate urges as the sap rises and the sukebind reappears in the hedgerows.[look it up -i had to!] others grumble and clean the dishes with twigs!
we are similarly rural bunch but what passions we can't express in other , potentially more damaging ways, we throw into the music.
Hope to see you at a gig soon.We are planning a big assault on festivals this summer and have a few dates coming up in devon and Somerset before that - will keep you posted.
