Band History: Being made now.
With "Listen To Your Left Brain", the Chinese Stars declare a new cold
war. Formed in 2003, the bandÕs pedigree reaches back to legendary acts
Arab On Radar and Six Finger Satellite, seeds that inform this new efflorescence,
but now the band has filled out in all the right places, having honed
their chaotic four-on-the-floor, post-punk dance style into an unequivocal
signature.
Here The Chinese Stars set in motion a tsunami of new waves, crafting
an atmosphere of propulsive sonic escapism - fueled by noodle-stringed
guitar riffs, seat of your pants lyrics and hallucinatory synths. This
is a fast, forward audio movement, taking music back to the base pleasures.
Razor sharp, aural pop-art: the overblown are busted.
"Outpunking Radio 4, outfunking !!! and out-Rapturing the Rapture,
The Chinese StarsÕ brazen four-on-the-floor propulsiveness, flexibly blends
elastic guitars over stabby snares and jived-up bass... while former AOR
singer Eric Paul peppers songs with salacious commentary, exuding depraved,
lascivious lyrics." - CMJ
"Their sound(?) Éwould probably liken it to a really bad drug trip at
a karaoke bar." - Sound The Sirens
