   About PRETEND ROCKSTAR

Pretend Rockstar is not your average cover band. They have a set list that is less mainstream than most other area cover bands. And their show includes multiple wardrobe changes from 80’s-inspired tuxedo jackets to matching Pretend Rockstar work shirts.

“We try and punk up some of our selections to keep everything upbeat and moving,” says lead vocalist Destery Hildenbrand. “Nowhere else in town will you go to a show and hear The Beach Boys, Paula Abdul, Rod Stewart, Vanilla Ice and Sir Mix-A-Lot all in the same show. We pride ourselves on the ability to keep the crowd guessing.”

The band members also spice things up by going into the crowd while singing and playing. You never know when you’ll have the lead singer or a guitar player make an appearance at your table. There is consistent witty banter, and if you are a regular at the bar where the band is playing, you will even have the opportunity to pay homage to your hangout by singing along to the “Cheers” theme song.

The Pretend Rockstar name has been around for about five years, but the current lineup has been together for about a year and a half. Various band members have played together in other bands since 1999, and many of them have worked or attended school together.

On any given night, you’re likely to hear band members reminisce together, whether it be about a humorous memory from a bar three of them once worked at or the time that Pretend Rockstar played a bar with a leaky roof and had to use umbrellas during their show.

Of all their shows, one stands out as the most memorable.

It was a June 2008 show at 3rd Street Live. “We opened for East 18 the week before the floods and were able to be one of the last live acts to grace the 3rd Street stage,” Destery says. “There was always something about being on stage there. It was exciting. It gave us small-time acts a big-time feel.”

We used to be called "Mumrik" that was looking for a singer and now we finally found a singer and the band name became STM since we are working together at a distance of 6000miles from Leeds, UK to Kyoto, Japan.
And we uploaded 3 songs now. Check them and let me know what you think. Thanks.
