Star Collector, Vancouver, BC Videos

Warning: This post is Videocentric: In advance of OUR new video & single "Halfway Home" (debuting on FRIDAY on YouTube & where all fine cutlery is sold), here's live footage, courtesy of Leah Schell, from last weekend's Bowie Ball at The Rickshaw Theatre that raised $15,000 for BC Cancer! 9 top bands, 36 Bowie songs, 1 great cause. Here's the lead-off track from 'Aladdin Sane', "Watch That Man". If anyone else took video, please message our Star Collector band page. We'd luv to see it. Thx to all involved in this super event!

COMING SOON (as in THIS FRIDAY, Jan. 19 at 12 Noon PST), our NEW VIDEO for the next single,“Halfway Home", from 'Attack, Sustain, Decay... Repeat'. Directed & edited by Steve/Monkey (as all the vids from the last 2 albums have been) & written by yers truly & my bro, Ad, it’s a song about brotherhood & all the shared laughs, inside jokes, second chances & memories of a life together in music & otherwise. Here’s a Teaser!

Coming Friday the 13th! (cue horror movie soundtrack... ooh, scary): The brand-spankin’ NEW VIDEO for our new single, “Crashin’”, a riff-ready, boot-stompin’, bass-thumpin’, cowbell bashin’ ode to celebrity excess from the ‘Attack, Sustain, Decay... Repeat’ album. 1 short day from now. Stay tuned!! #musicvideopremiere #indiemusic

Nice to have such talented bandmates Pt 3: Short n' sassy vid bits of our Album Release at The Fox, from my sis, Amy & our pal, Ian. Since our band page only allows 1 vid at a time (unlike personal pages...sheesh), here's the 3rd: some raucous Moon-Mitchell-like drumming from AB at the tail end of "Don't Have To Fold". Check it... Fun for the whole family!

Since our band page only allows 1 vid at a time (unlike personal pages...sheesh), here's the 2nd: some bass wizardry from Tone on "Green Eyes" (I always recall the 'Paul on Fuzz Bass' credit on 'Rubber Soul' when he or Ad plays this song). Check it... Fun for the whole family!

Since our band page only allows 1 vid at a time (unlike personal pages...sheesh), here's the 1st: a bit of effects-laden guitar magic from Monk on "Black And Baby Blue". Check it... Fun for the whole family!

Here's another video clip from our Fox Cabaret album release gig, courtesy of my sister, Amy. It's her fave SC song (at least this week, it is), "Super Zero Blues", from our 'Game Day' album. Come down to IPO Vancouver on Saturday, September 2 at Lana Lou's & we may play it (says he of the ever-juggling setlist). Gonna be a big ol' partay for David Bash's birthday w/ Legret, Danny Echo, Cass King & The Cassettes, Vanilla, IPO All-Stars & my riff-ready band o' lads

Another vid clip from our BEEG GEEG at The Fox, again courtesy of my sis, Amy. Here's "Beat It To Death", an ode Monk & I wrote to juicy hook-laden songs, sex & Katrina & The Waves. Check out its Official video on our YouTube channel & click Subscribe if ya like whatcha see. Funny part of this clip is me singing the wrong words to a line in the chorus, & tho Steve did a top job following me, the look we give each other after is, to quote Mastercard, "Priceless"!

Another LIVE video from our big show at The Fox; our current single "Running Through The Rain" (check out the Official video on our YouTube channel), complete w/ intro, crowd luv &... my Mom! She's also in the proper video, as it's a song for her. A more subdued performance than the previous vid snippets but gotta serve the song... always. I wrote this w/ Ian Person (The Soundtrack Of Our Lives), a Swedish band I've dug for years. Ta to my sis, Amy, & hubby, Cory, who flew up from Cali for the gig & for filming it!

What time is it?? It's VIDEO TIME! As mentioned, our 2021 album 'Game Day' came out during the damndemic so we couldn't give it a proper lift off. This Release Party at The Fox, then, was essentially a tow-fer. Here's a snippet, again from Les Ley (ta, Les!), of the title track. Gotta love how you can see Erique from Danny Echo (who's kindly filled in on bass for us when asked), right up front singing along. To quote the movie, 'I Love You, Man'!

Ok, VIDEO time!... snips n' clips from Friday's album release show at The fabulous Fox Cabaret, this one courtesy of new pal, Les Ley. No better place to start than the beginning, as we opened w/ "Feel It Comin' On" from the new record. AND THE ELECTRIC FUN BEGINS...! Thx a mill for sending this, Les.

Early show, doors at 7, bands at 7:45. #albumrelease #vancouvermusic #livemusic

It's a sassy Friday, time for some bubblegum and pizzazz! Grab a cold bevvy and crank up the tunes. #indierock #vancouvermusic #powerpop

Sometimes they're a struggle and sometimes they arrive completely realized. Songs are a devious bunch. Don't Have To Fold is the shortest song on 'Attack, Sustain, Decay... Repeat.' #songwriting #indierock #vancouvermusic
