Starfucker (sometimes stylized as STRFKR), briefly known as Pyramiddd, is an American indie rock band from Portland, Oregon. Formed in 2007, the band was initially started as a solo project by Joshua Hodges.
Members include Joshua Hodges aka Sexton Blake (vocals, keyboards, guitar, drums), Shawn Glassford (bass, keyboards, drums), Keil Corcoran (drums, keyboards, vocals), and Patrick Morris, formerly of Strength (guitar, keyboard, vocals).
Prior to forming Starfucker, Hodges released a solo album titled Sexton Blake and followed up with an album released under the band name "Sexton Blake" entitled Plays The Hits! Both albums were released on Expunged Records. During this time Corcoran was the drummer for Vegas-based grindcore band The Weirding Way.
The name Starfucker started off as a joke, but the band's success under the name grew rapidly. In response to this success, and with the guidance of a business agent, they briefly changed their name to Pyramiddd thinking more people would take them seriously as musicians; They later realized that they did not want to market the band that way, and soon changed their name back and let the agent go.

His first single to receive significant attention was "V.I.P.", released as a digital EP on July 21, 2009 on iTunes and Amazon MP3 through Wells' own indie label Inferno Records. "V.I.P." has received airplay on Top 40 stations and was added to US Airways in-flight entertainment Hit List channel in November 2009. Wells co-wrote and co-produced the album version of "V.I.P." The digital EP also features remixes by LorD and Master (who also remixed Dangerous Muse), Purple Moon Banana (RuPaul), and Wells under the moniker "Knightwriter".
The digital EP was replaced on May 25, 2010 by a new single mix of "V.I.P.", re-released to coincide with the debut of an accompanying music video by director Karl Giant which featured a cameo by Wells' friend Laverne Cox of Orange Is The New Black fame.

Last night all black and white when I was sleeping
I felt shadows of emptiness around me
Just keep telling myself to live my life alive
Like everything else just keep on breathing and live
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Chorus:
While I'm alive
I got, I live my life
While I'm alive
The colours and the sound
While I'm alive
I got, I live my life
While I'm alive
Saw the way I would die
While I was dreaming
Cold but hearing the sound
That a heart beats
Keep on telling myself to live my life alive
Like everything else
Just keep on breathing and live
While I'm alive
I got, I live my life
While I'm alive
The colours and the sound
While I'm alive
I got, I live my life
While I'm alive
While I'm alive, uh, oh, oh
While I'm alive
While I'm alive
While I'm alive
While I'm alive
