You may recall the band of brothers known as Starfucker took us to Jupiter this year on a seizure-inducing electro-rock brand of rocket fuel. Apparently, too many people had trouble telling friends and family they were going to check out Starfucker, with concerned grandparents wondering aloud: "Those homosexuals are everywhere!"
So to avoid awkward parental conversations and perhaps due to the influence of their cover art and spectrum love, fans rebranded the group formerly known as Starfucker into Pyramid. Whether they are the $25,000 or the $100,000 version is yet to be known. We'll get someone on that.
It’s been an exciting year for Portland, OR’s favorite breakout band, Starfucker, and today is an exceptional day. Last month, just as the four-piece were poised to set sail on an extensive North American tour, they announced a name change contest that allowed fans to play a pivotal role in re-naming the band. After many votes and infinite good ideas, the guys have chosen PYRAMID as their new moniker. They will perform their last ever show as Starfucker at Portland’s venerable Wonder Ballroom on Halloween, so if you have a hankering for infectious beats and a costume contest judged by some of the members of the band, then look no further.
In addition to the name change news, PYRAMID are will self-release their debut UK single via their new imprint DDD featuring “Medicine," from 2009’s Jupiter EP. “Medicine” will be available exclusively at London’s Rough Trade stores as a limited edition, deluxe white vinyl 7”. B side "Rawnald Gregory Erickson The Second (Strategy Remix)," with its seductive bass and mellow vibe, will be the perfect complement to “Medicine’s” unbridled energy. The single will also be available as a digital download bundle via all major digital outlets in the UK and Europe on November 23rd and will feature an exclusive new Starfucker remix of track "Biggie Smalls".
