Starfucker on Tour!

Starfucker Announce Fall Tour in Support of Jupiter



“While most retro aesthetes are funny once bores, Starfucker’s party trick is a thriller.” Spin 8/10

"The kids love Josh Hodges' low-fi dance-pop steez, and they show up in droves whether he plays house parties or clubs." Willamette Week

If you haven’t already heard the phenomenal Portland, Oregon four-piece Starfucker, then you’re in for a real treat. While Josh Hodges (vocals, guitar, keyboards, percussion), Ryan Biornstad (vocals, guitar, keyboards, mixing), Shawn Glassford (bass, keyboards, percussion), and Keil Corcoran (drums) have been collaborating for just two years, they have managed to sell-out shows across North America on three successful tours and win over fans for both their energetic live sets and their two critically acclaimed releases, debut Starfucker (self-released) and follow-up EP Jupiter (Badman Records). Armed with driving beats, unstoppable energy, and colorful headbands galore, the guys are sure to bring the party to venues across the country and up to Canada on a slew of highly anticipated dates this fall.

What began with Josh Hodges solo at an underground Portland show and an overflow of ideas, has quickly become one of the most vibrant young acts to come out of the Pacific Northwest’s musical hotbed. Josh began the project in 2007 with just a stripped-down drum kit, a loop pedal and a microphone and soon began collaborating with friends and fellow musicians Ryan, Shawn and Keil. Each of the guys, with their many unique talents and impressive stage presence, have helped to make Starfucker the tour de force that it is today – a tight-knit group who brilliantly meld electronics and incredible musicianship into each other-worldly and mesmerizing track.
