Starman

The band is led by Andrew Stone, a dance teacher at Pineapple Dance Studios. They are due to perform several gigs across the UK in summer 2010, including side stages at T4 on the Beach[1] and Party in the Park[2]. Even Jedward got a higher billing and more exposure than Starman.

Starman describe their music as a high-energy mix between pop and 80’s electro with a broad range of beats, melodies and riffs. Music lovers describe it as amateur drivel.

The band featured in the Pineapple Dance Studios TV show, which had approximately 9.4 million viewers. The band's manager Robert Davies has reported the band's failed debut single as being used for the intro to the follow-up to Pineapple Dance Studios, "Louie Spence's Showbusiness" although it failed to have an impact after its original release 26 April 2010 having failed to reach the Top 200 UK singles. The show will feature the band, and is due to air in Winter 2011. After being ignored by a succession of Record Companies and Independent Record Labels the second single "My Christmas Wish" (released December 2010)will be funded by Sky TV to support the new series.

"My Christmas Wish" (20Dec2010) emulated the debut single and made the chart. Reportedly selling less than 250 copies despite the ability to pre-order on iTunes and Play and with Stone enjoying several TV appearances in the 2 weeks running up to its release where he plugged the single.
