1. Stars is a Canadian indie pop band signed to the Arts & Crafts label. Originally formed in Toronto in 1998 by vocalist Torquil Campbell and keyboardist Chris Seligman, the band relocated to New York City and then subsequently to Montreal. The band also includes singer-guitarist Amy Millan and bassist Evan Cranley. Drummer Pat McGee has toured with the band for years, despite not appearing on their albums until the release of Set Yourself on Fire.
The band’s breakthrough single was
Ageless Beauty, from their 2004 album Set Yourself on Fire. While released to minimal fanfare in Canada in October of 2004, Set Yourself on Fire slowly gained a strong following and critical praise soon after its 8 March 2005 U.S. release.Millan, Campbell and Cranley are also members of the indie band Broken Social Scene; Seligman, although uncredited, has contributed to past Broken Social Scene albums. Millan has since embarked on a solo career, releasing a record entitled Honey from the Tombs in July 2006. Campbell has a side-project with friend Chris Dumont entitled Memphis; their latest album, A Little Place In The Wilderness, was released in August 2006.

One of my favourite bands ever. Love the music. I put up a post on my little blog about their two-night stand at the Danforth Music Hall in Toronto: Evenings of Sex and Death. http://www.oneintenwords.com/2013/04/two-nights-with-incredible-stars.html

Are you going to Field Trip Music Festival on June 8th? I'm looking for VIP passes - 2 at the minimum, if you have more than that, this is welcomed too. I'm willing to trade all four of my GA passes straight up for two VIP passes, GA passes + cash, or just cash period. Please let me know. I'm open to negotiation. Drop a comment on my page or message me.
