Stellastarr
Stellastarr (styled as stellastarr*) is an American indie rock band based in New York City. It is composed of Shawn Christensen (vocals, rhythm guitar), Amanda Tannen (bass, vocals), Arthur Kremer (drums, percussion, keyboards), and Michael Jurin (lead guitar, vocals).
History
The band formed in March 2000 from the ashes of a previous musical effort, the band Ghistor, formed while studying art and design at the Pratt Institute in Brooklyn. A few years later, after a chance meeting with Jurin, who had recently relocated to Brooklyn and had left his former band Charlotte's Funeral behind in his hometown of Philadelphia, the former classmates reunited, this time with Christensen on vocals. The band was named after an old purple hearse parked in Poughkeepsie, where Christensen grew up.
Stellastarr played their first gig at Luna Lounge, formerly on the Lower East Side of Manhattan in July 2000, and released a limited series of independent/homemade EP CDs shortly thereafter. They have toured with Jane's Addiction, The Raveonettes, Placebo, The Killers, and Editors. Stellastarr have played live in the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Mexico, Japan, and Europe.

Untitled
There's a great pair of eyes
And their resting in your pretty head
Though I don't know quite why
But I'll never express how I feel
Yes it's true I've been tamed
The past two years I 've really changed
There's a great pair of crimes
The lonliness of you and I
And all I want is another try
Yes all I want is to just feel the same
So what's your name, your name
And all I want is another try
Yes all I want is to just feel the same
So what's your name, your name, your name
I'll be the last notch in your belt
Does it look like me when there's no one else
I'll settle for a brief moment in time
If you'd settle for a quick rewind
Someday you'll realize that you needed me
Once or twice, When I need you to stay
I'll always remember these summer days
And all I want is another try
Yes all I want is to just feel the same
So what's your name, your name
And all I want is another try
Yes all I want is to just feel the same
So what's your name, your name, your name
