Hurricane Katrina Benefit

We've donated a poster to help promote a Hurricane Relief Benefit at Lansing's Temple Club this Monday, September 12. Lansing musicians are donating their time and talents to raise much-needed funds for our people in New Orleans who have lost so much due to the hurricanes. 100% of the proceeds from the door will go to Red Cross efforts to transport, feed, clothe, and shelter the thousands affected by this national disaster. If you're in town, please come out and support this effort -- it's sure to be a night of great music, but let's remember the seriousness of the situation and our responsibility to help our neighbors in Louisiana who've been hit so hard. Give generously.

Stargrazer is happy to lend a hand to groups, individuals, or organizations in need on a pro bono or discounted basis. Special thanks to Joel from The Gentleman Callers for getting us involved, and to Sam Rose for being the sparkplug.

Rock Posters, part deux

Stargrazer LLC is pleased to have created a second poster for the Detroit-area band Stare Into The Sun. This "information collage" takes its cues from Peter Saville, traffic lights, and Malcolm Garrett's work for the Buzzcocks in the late 1970s.

Stare Into The Sun will be hitting the road soon, gigging in New York, Chicago and other sparkling locales near you! Look for more poster work from Stargrazer on your favorite telephone poles, information kiosks, and record store walls.

"Lurking in a space somewhere between twilight and shadow, Stare Into The Sun conjure an indie rock-noir of jagged cityscapes, moonlit back alleys, tawdry romances, and damned souls. Their songs careen from the frantic and rousing to the subdued, detached, and at times eerie; their live shows are fraught with reckless urgency and fevered conviction. The band will release its first full length record "Nocturnal" in January 2005. Stare Into The Sun will spend the year playing live in support of Nocturnal and honing songs for their next record." -- (extracted from http://www.myspace.com/stareintothesun)
