Starfucker, or STRFKR, the band that wants to bury itself.
Yet its music is so undeniably good—coming on like a cross between a low-fi Ratatat and your favorite video game—that its popularity keeps growing, despite itself.
On tour now, and their show last week at the Henry Fonda Theater here was great.
Start with “Pop Song” below, then move on to “Rawnald Gregory Erickson the Second.”
They recently moved from Portland to L.A. and came on the Sirius show, and turned me on to a couple songs afterward I’ll share in the Loop. A rare pleasure to meet a band and like their music even more afterward.
