Starfunk and the Renegade Lightning Production is the ongoing solo project of me, Brian Stark, former bassist and composer in semi-legendary underground Denton bands Grasshopper’s Dying Words, Dalom, Eight Hundred Pounds, and the Dave Sorrendino Band. While I have recorded many of my original songs before for various purposes (and with various different groups), “Boxers on the Outside” is my first official release of exclusively original material. Recorded in my bedroom and a few other people’s living rooms, “Boxers on the Outside” is a collection of material written in the past six years, mostly performed by myself. I was trying to make a record that sounds big and deep, like the Flaming Lips albums from the last decade, or the last album by the Comas (“Spells“), or Radiohead when they feel like rocking out. I think that these songs have a strong emotional core that appeals the search for love and meaning, a longing inherent in human nature. I also think that they rock really hard, without compromising my love of melody, harmony, and well-considered arrangements. But mostly they rock really hard. You should listen to it and tell me what you think! Also, look for my second, better EP, "Sexy on the Inside," wherever music is sold on the Internet!
