Hello!
Starlet Suicide will be touring Western Europe again in September this year. They already came in 2005 for a short tour in France, Belgium, Netherlands and Germany.
Everything you need to know about the band is below or you can hit up their site or their Myspace . This is a really interesting band and I think they are going to do great things over here.
I'm looking for dates in France, Belgium, UK, Germany, Luxemburg, Switzerland, Italy, Spain and Austria between the 14th and the 30th of September. Everything is open, as nothing is booked yet.
Please contact me for further informations if you're interested in organizing something with Starlet Suicide
take care

BIOGRAPHY:
starlet suicide was formed in may 2004.
jennyfer star decided to start a new band which she could front after leaving glampunk band swindle-a-go-go. she decided to ask rikki riot, a guy who once crashed into a party on her balcony, to play bass in the band and he was interested.
after realizing that the perfect guitarist would not answer any of the ads the have put out, jennyfer went to a gigs with paradice to ask if their guitarist theodor paine was interested in joining her band, and he was. so they started rehearsing some songs.
since they didnt seem to find a drummer they hooked up with karl thunder (also from paradice) to try if things worked out. he decided to help them out until they found someone else.
at the end of july 2004 the band started recording their first demo, which resulted in a recording named "broken doll", that consists of four tracks; "its a disease", "you make my heart go", "steal my pride" and "waste me away".
in december 2004 the band parted ways with karl thunder and made friends with a new drummer, sammy sparks.
after doing some gigs around sweden they recorded four new tracks, in may/june 2005. these four songs became their second demo, "out of your league" which consists of the tracks; "try to break me", "hairspray lover", "over the top" and "ill be gone".
in october 2005 starlet went on a european tour with french band BAM!! [dtg].
in january 2006 dallas chrome replaced theodor paine on guitar.
after the quiet month of august, starlet broke the silence and delivered the EP "makin all the noize" with the following songs: "makin all the noize", "heartless", "shake it up" and "dirt".
PRESS:
Like all the best glam bands of the 80s and 90s, it's almost impossible to tell from the press shots whether Swedish quartet Starlet Suicide are all male, all female or a combination of the two. Looking like a cross between Tigertailz and well, a female version of Tigertailz!, the picture only becomes slightly clearer on seeing the band-members' names. Singer, guitarist and founder member Jennyfer Star really ought to be a girl,but we all thought that about Pepsi Tate, right? As for the rest of the band: Dallas Chrome (guitar), Rikki Riot (bass) and Sammy Sparks (drums), it's anyone's guess!
But isn't that the kind of confusion you want with a glam rock band? The kind where you don't know whether to lock up your girlfriend or go after one of 'em yourself! Perfect!
The question has to be then; does the music live up to the image? There's no point having an OTT image like this if you then come out sounding like a watered downversion of Girls Aloud! Fortunately, Starlet Suicide deliver the goods by the wagon-load on this demo EP. Consisting of four tracks: 'Heartless', 'Shake It Up', 'Dirt' and the title track; 'Makin' All The Noize' is snotty, brash, loud and boisterous! From the outset, it is clear that Jennyfer Star is all girl. More Sally Cato (Smashed Gladys) than Janet Gardner (Vixen) of course, and all the better for it!
Title track 'Makin' All The Noize' is as fine a slab of sleaze as you'll here this year, but it isn't until 'Heartless' that Starlet Suicide really find their sound - sexy, sleazy lead vocals, backing vocals in all the right places - in the background! Crashing drums and cymbals and, of course, plenty of cowbell!
As a general observation, the guitars could do with being a little more prevalent throughout - I heard solos are making a comeback! But otherwise this is a sturdy effort from only a very young band. Knowing the Swedes' love of all things glam and sleaze, the smart money says it won't be long before we see this band signed up and peddling their debut full-length CD. On the strength of the songs on offer here, that'll be one release worth keeping an eye out for.
