hey guys thanks for accepting the friend request. is the new starky basically sadwaters? and what will happen to the tracks you guys said you were writing for starky before things ended? regards adam.
it keeps me up at night wondering what everyone is up to post-starky. i also wonder how one of you previous members garden is going, as i believe that is why he departed...so he could tend to his lettuce plants...fun times
hey guys just curious about where you've been lately i've had yor album for a while now just wondering whether you'll be touring again soon. especially at the Annandale Hotel. We love you their how bout another album too :)
It was around this time last year that you put on a really impressive show at the Annandale with the real xmas trees covered in fairy lights. I know you will amaze us again under a different name with a few different band members :)
a question guys. i read somewhere on the net that you guys are actually going to release 'Me Michelle' as a single. Is this true? Seems unlikely now that you're not together. All the same, I thought I'd ask. love the starky
Well, what's happening? How are we travelling? Any good news/prospects? Anything for us to look forward to in a musical sense? Keeping well? Looking forward to having an excuse to see a spectacular at the Newport.
