BURBANK, CA--(Marketwire - October 4, 2010) - Oklahoma City psych/prog/experimental pop quartet STARDEATH AND WHITE DWARFS will hit the road in support of the debut album, THE BIRTH for the months of November and December with New Zealand psychedelic-pop rockers, Tame Impala.
Over the past couple years STARDEATH AND WHITE DWARFS have recorded and toured with OKC brethren and label mates, The Flaming Lips. You'll recall both bands joined forces to record their updated interpretation of Pink Floyd's 1973 classic album, THE DARK SIDE OF THE MOON along with spoken word and vocal assistance from Henry Rollins and Peaches. Appropriately enough, the title of the album is "THE FLAMING LIPS and STARDEATH AND WHITE DWARFS WITH HENRY ROLLINS AND PEACHES DOING THE DARK SIDE OF THE MOON." In addition, SDWD toured the UK sparking a buzz of their own with THE BIRTH, which has turned the heads of the heads:
"'The Birth' breaks, swirls, and dives into a vortex of psychedelic sounds. But it's also poppy enough to make your comedown a smooth landing." -- Nylon Magazine
"Tastefully odd." -- Guitar Edge Magazine
"Stardeath come out strong on their first effort... 'The Birth,' is the type of album that has a devout intention to assault listeners equilibriums while under the power of mind-expanding drugs." -- Synthesis Magazine
"These guys stand on their own and impress... A rock-solid debut that deserves to be heard." -- Pittsburgh Daily News
