Brisbane band Starlight Theatre caught my eye when I interviewed bassist Josh Belz way back in 2009, but they never quite managed to catch a break here. So they expanded their horizons last year and managed to kick some serious goals abroad. After spending seven of the last 12 months in London they’ve just inked a UK management deal. They’ve also managed to gain a bit of radio play across the United States, and if the footage I was watching on their website is any indication, they’ve got a lot of passionate fans.
Starlight Theatre are preparing to release their new single “Oceans,” which sounds pretty fabulous judging by that website snippet. All will be revealed when it officially drops in April 1, but since I’m heading overseas for a little holiday then you’ll just have to check it out yourselves. Everything I’ve heard tells me that their hard work in the industry over the years is about to pay off.
