KillerStar is a band led by Rob Fleming (vocals, guitar, synths) and James Sedge (drums). With a musical vision that transcends time and genres, this dynamic duo has breathed life into a new era of rock 'n' roll, forging a path that seamlessly blends the timeless echoes of the early 1970s with the avant-garde spirit of contemporary art-rock.
The origins of KillerStar lie in the profound love that Rob and James share for the iconic sounds of the early '70s - an era that birthed the primal energy of rock 'n' roll and the sophisticated harmonies of art rock. The duo's collaboration began with an intuitive desire to capture the essence of these influences, creating a space where the familiar and the innovative converge.
As the architects of KillerStar's sonic universe, Rob Fleming and James Sedge have meticulously crafted songs that exude the grit of rock 'n' roll while embracing the sleek allure of hard rock. With Rob handling vocals, guitars, and synths, and James providing the rhythmic foundation on drums, their synergy lays the groundwork for a sound that is both raw and refined.
What sets KillerStar apart is the ensemble of musical virtuosos who have contributed to their debut album. Drawing inspiration from the unparalleled legacy of David Bowie, the lineup reads like a who's who of his most trusted collaborators: Mike Garson on piano, Earl Slick and Mark Plati on guitar, Gail Ann Dorsey and Tim Lefebvre on bass, Emm Gryner on backing vocals, and Donny McCaslin on saxophone. Together, they have crafted a sonic landscape that fuses the scale of classic rock with sophisticated harmonies and elements of art rock.
