New York City (2000 – present)
stellastarr* are an American indie rock band based in New York City. The band is composed of: Shawn Christensen (vocals, rhythm guitar), Amanda Tannen (bass, vocals), Arthur Kremer (percussion, keyboards) and Michael Jurin (lead guitar, vocals).
The group formed in March 2000 from the ashes of a previous musical effort - Ghistor - formed by Shawn, Amanda, and Arthur while studying art and design at the Pratt Institute in Brooklyn. A few years later, after a chance meeting with Michael, who had recently relocated to Brooklyn from his hometown Philadelphia, the former classmates reunited, this time with Shawn on vocals.
Stellastarr* played their first gig at the Luna Lounge on the Lower East Side of Manhattan in July 2000 and began releasing a limited series of independent/homemade CDEPs shortly after. To date, they have toured with Jane’s Addiction, The Raveonettes, Placebo, The Killers and The Subways, among others.
Stellastarr*’s second album, entitled Harmonies for the Haunted, was released in America on September 13, 2005.

listened to both albums back to back at the weekend. normally I expect to be bitterly disappointed when revisiting old indie albums. not in this case. I echo the sentiments underneath - the world is a better place with stellastarr* releasing albums.

Last I heard, they are on indefinite hiatus. Each person is doing their own thing and quite successful. So far, they are not disbanded - but, just working on other things. If you love stella, check out Arthur's (drummer) new band: http://www.last.fm/music/Dear+Comrade
