Toronto, Canada (1998 – present)

There is more than one artist with this name:

1. Stars is a Canadian indie pop band. Formed in Toronto in 1998 by vocalist Torquil Campbell and keyboardist Chris Seligman. The band also includes singer-guitarist Amy Millan and bassist Evan Cranley.

2. The Stars is a Japanese psychedelic rock band. It consists of ex-members of the legendary band White Heaven including Michio Kurihara (Ghost, collaborations with Boris, Ai Aso) on guitar and You Ishihara on vocals.

3. Stars was a short-lived British band in 1972. Its members were Syd Barrett on guitar, Twink on drums, and Jack Monck (of Delivery) on bass. They played three live concerts in Cambridge before Barrett left the group, thus (essentially) ending it. Shortly thereafter Syd Barrett left music altogether and began a life in seclusion, and this project is sometimes seen as the so called ‘straw that broke the camel’s back’. Recordings of their performances remain lost, though it has been attested that all three performances contained early Pink Floyd songs and different versions of tracks from Barrett’s 1970 solo album The Madcap Laughs. It has also been stated in multiple accounts that in each show Barrett entered one of his somewhat trademark catatonic trances, the worst coming in their second concert, where Barrett became almost completely frozen and had to be carried off stage. This was not unusual, having happened many times while Syd was still a member of Pink Floyd.

Is it just me, or does the album cover of "Set Yourself on Fire", look just like the album "The Earth Is Not a Cold Dead Place" by Explosions In The Sky. http://tinyurl.com/yesyvgf vs. http://tinyurl.com/y9p7zth
