Joint CD Release Party and Screening party at Flames Central Thursday October 22!!!!

Hey Everyone,

We are pumped to announce our CD release party on October 22, 2009 at Flames Central!!! It is a joint party with the first North American screening of the film the service, and our good friends Broken Toyz and Pure City will be playing as well.

For Immediate Release:

Joint release party celebrates the best in Calgary music and film.

Overview

On Thursday October 22, 2009 Flames Central will host an evening celebrating some of the best in Calgary music and film. A joint release party will mark the release of local rock band Static in the Stars’ new EP No Grace in Goodbyes and the inaugural North American screening of the new short film The Service. Local rockers Pure City and legendary 80’s cover band Broken Toyz will join in the festivities. This event will bring together some of the stars in the Calgary film and music scenes and showcase Calgary as a world class entertainment city, all in the premiere entertainment venue.

The Service Thomas Highe (Kent Speakman), is the kind of guy every woman dreams about. But, when he gets dumped by his shrewd wife (Paulina Chmielecka), a mysterious ‘Service’ offers to have her eliminated. After he mistakenly agrees, it’s a race to stop them before it’s too late.

Starring Kent Speakman, Paulina Chmielecka, Tye Evans, and Alison Wandzura, “The Service” was produced by Scott Carpenter, directed by Dave Barton, and written by Peter Skagen. Shot on location in Calgary for $400, “The Service” is exceptionally high in production value, and features an original score by PJ Serediuk, and CG effects by Darren Northcott. The film was shot during evenings and weekends, entirely by Alberta actors, and crew.

Rest assured that there will be star power galore on the red carpet of this event and surely is not to be missed.

Static in the Stars

Static in the Stars is a five-piece rock and roll band based out of Calgary, AB. Combining 80's cock rock with modern influences like Anberlin and the Foo Fighters they have created a new brand of straight ahead rock and roll that sets no boundaries and takes no prisoners. The band has one goal and that is to deliver rock and roll back to the masses.

In the past year Static in the Stars have drastically increased their profile. They shared the stage with acts such as Pearl Jam, Wintersleep, K-OS and Billy Talent at Virgin Festival Alberta 2009. They are set to showcase at Indie Music Week 2009 in Toronto and they showcased at Junofest 2008, opened for Twisted Sister during the Calgary
Stampede, won the semi-finals of the Fuel 90.3 Big Rock Star Competition and the Ceilis Canada Day Rock Fest, received radio play on X92.9, Fuel 90.3, 100.3 The Bear, licensed their song "Lost Vegas" for the film "The Service" and caught the attention of Tommy Mac from Hedley.

Their new album "No Grace in Goodbyes" was produced by Tommy Mac from multi-platinum recording artists Hedley, engineered by Juno nominated Dean Maher (Elton John, AC/DC, Slayer, Rise Against, Chevelle, Atreyu) and mastered by Chris Potter (Sarah MacLachlan, Run DMC, The Cranberries, Rufus Wainright, Delirium). Set for a September 2009 release it will showcase Static in the Stars unique brand of rock and roll.

LOST VEGAS hits Radio in Western Canada today!

LOST VEGAS hits Radio in Western Canada
Monday, July 20, 2009

Lost Vegas, the first single off of the new album by Static in the Stars hits radio across Western Canada on Monday July 20, 2009. The first single off Static in the Stars’ new album “No Grace in Goodbyes” is a pure blast of rock and roll. Mixing 80’s hair rock tendencies with modern rock sounds, “Lost Vegas” is rock and roll for the new generation. Produced by Tommy Mac from Hedley and Engineered and Mixed by Juno nominated Dean Maher, the single jumps from the speakers with an urgency that dares the listener to commit. The song tells the classic story of good girl gone bad against the backdrop of the decadence and debauchery of Las Vegas. Having already made a name for themselves in the Calgary scene, “Lost Vegas” serves as an introduction to the rest of the country that Static in the Stars is here, and what an introduction it is…..

Call your local rock radio station now and request “LOST VEGAS” and help push it to the top of the charts!

Welcome to the Static in the Stars Blog

Well hello everyone,

Welcome to the official Static in the Stars blog. It has been a roller coaster ride in the last year for the Static crew. From playing Junofest and winning the semi-finals of the Fuel 90.3 Big Rock Star competition, to recording an album produced by Tommy Mac from Hedley and recorded by Juno nominated engineer Dean Maher, to lineup changes.

Yes that is correct... line up changes. Joe McLeod and Harvey J. Warren have decided to focus on family and other interests. This doesn't mean Static is done, and both will be involved with Static in the future. It just means we get to introduce new people into the Static family. We are currently auditioning new members and will let everyone know what's next.

Please make sure you add us as a friend on www.myspace.com/staticinthestars, Facebook, Twitter and Reverbnation.

Talk to you soon!
