Here's to the end of 2016 and the start of a new year. A few things happened behind the scenes here for us and we are definitely looking forward to the new year and making new music.
We started off the year doing some writing and have a few demos that hope to be re-recorded and maybe some new treats!? Licensed a couple songs for movie placements. Purple worked on a killer cover and video, of The Cars classic “Drive”.. Check it out HERE Derek recorded an EP and full length LIVE CD with his New Orleans project, SAINT ROCH , and started demoing for a new album due out in 2017. Derek also did some bass session work for a few recordings and worked on a few mixes for other projects. So it's been a busy year! We are already in talks setting up some new things so please, check back here often! We want to thank everyone who supports us and has stuck by us especially in this last year when things are kinda quiet on the outside! In the meantime, click that little green button and give us a follow on Spotify. The more followers we have, it opens up a lot of features for us that we can't do without you. So thank you! Well after numerous attempts to get some new projects off the ground, it looks like Kill Star will be officially on indefinite hiatus. Nobodys fault, seems some have other priorities at this time. I have no idea at this time if/when we will continue as Kill Star, I have done all I can at this point. There was a lot of new material demoed, and plans for a couple new albums, but they will be shelved for now. If anything changes, it will be announced here first! In the meantime, I gotta keep moving and creating, so check out my new project, Saint Roch. If you are in the New Orleans area, there are a handful of shows about to go down! We have already recorded tracks and will be releasing our debut EP soon. We have played a couple shows, and have more coming up in the next couple months. Cheers Derek https://www.facebook.com/SaintRochBand/ 
Here are 3 tracks we did to kick off the year!
We went into the studio and recorded the drum tracks and scratch vocals and guitars. Then re-recorded everything (except the drums) at my home studio. Mixed and mastered by me. Roch n Roll Mutherfuckers! I have teamed up with a couple killer musicians out here in NOLA, Kiley Michael (Fifth Switch) and Todd Bishop (The US Postals) to form a new project called "SAINT ROCH". A power trio of straight up party Roch n Roll with some punk and blues influences thrown in there. We are recording a couple tracks for radio this month and have already lined up a handful of shows. Go like the SAINT ROCH Facebook page to keep up with whats happening, as it's happening fast! Shows booked in New Orleans so far.. Feb 16- SIBERIA (w/ Fifth Switch, and TBA) Feb 26- Howlin' Wolf Den (w/ Fifth Switch, Jesse Tripp and the Nightbreed) March 26- Twist of Lime (w/ Fifth Switch, Uoyab)  Yes it's true. Derek and Purple have begun preproduction for a few tracks for a new record we hope to release for y'all this summer some time. We will provide updates as they happen.. This is a fun project we are working on and can't wait to put it out! Cheers Derek  |
