The story of 4 starcrossed souls...
Born & bred in san diego, mark haemmerle started starcrossed in 2001
with one goal in mind - to enlighten the world of independent rock with a diverse sound that would stimulate, elevate, excite and speak to the hearts & souls of its listeners.
Since 2001, the band has survived some important transformations. After suffering the tragic loss of their best friend and rhythm guitarist bridgit bardell, the remaining members vowed to stay commited & evolved the group into the starcrossed it is today.
Mark is now joined by christina & shadow dr-5. Their sound is strongly influenced by the cure, the jesus & mary chain, depeche mode, my bloody valentine, joy division & the sundays. They have been described by enthusiastic fans as electro/indie with a shoegaze & goth persuasion. The band has recently finished a full length cd entitled "waves"
and is currently focused on recording and producing a new full length album. They continue to play at numerous san diego venues to a variety of audience and age groups.
Keeping the purity of their goal in mind, we hope to get signed to a record label and spread our unique musical style on tour sometime in the very near future.
mark also runs a audio/video production company called devil town studios if your in a band and you need a demo recorded, music video filmed & edited or want some live footage of your band filmed an put on you tube contact him thru myspace. its free of charge until the company gets up and running.
