[mp3] Introducing // Ringo Deathstarr

Written on March 23, 2011 by Andy in Music

Regardless of how you feel about bands using bastardized names of celebrities, Ringo Deathstarr is a pretty fantastic one. Neither The Beatles nor Star Wars have any direct connections to the band’s music that I can tell, however; their music is far more akin to the shoegaze influenced pop of The Pains of Being Pure at Heart – a kind of swirly, noisy haze of guitars that owes a debt to the recent revival of their shared genre. While TPOBPAH tend to be more of a straight-ahead pop version of it, Ringo Deathstarr is more willing to play around with the vocals, distorting them a bit, playing more with the boy/girl dynamic.

The Austin-based band’s debut, Colour Trip, was released a couple of weeks ago on March 8th, and you can get it at your favorite digital retailer, or in physical forms through the band’s website. The band doesn’t have much lined up by way of a tour, with a date in the UK and another in Japan. I’d have to think that will change, but until it does, keep your eyes on their Facebook page.

tym-pan-o-gram (noun)
an examination used to test the condition of the middle ear and mobility of the eardrum, and the conduction bones by creating variations of air pressure in the ear canal.

Basically, it sounded like a cool name for a blog intended to be primarily about music. We’d both had other blogs previously, but over beers it was decided that more damage could be done as a joint venture. And here we are.

We share a passion for the undiscovered and under-appreciated, and hope that you’ll be able to find something you love as well.

I like music. I can't describe how I came to like the music I do, because I don't know how or why, I just do.

Many years ago, Napoleon's brother, my great-great-great-great-great-great Grandfather, came to America. He was asked his name on Ellis Island while being processed as an immigrant. Not understanding English, he was under the impression that he was being asked how he had arrived in the new land. So he turned around and pointed at the sea vessel and said, 'LaBarge.'

I come by my music taste of my own free will. My friends listened to 2Pac, my parents to contemporary Christian and me? Sunny Day Real Estate. I can’t explain it.
