RUSTY STARZ: The Elastic Memory Band
Psychedelic power pop, rock 'n' roll, eclectic and electric.
Rusty Starz is a five-piece original rock band playing what has been described as Progressive jam rock. The songs are loaded with hooks, harmonies, rhythm and soaring guitar solos that stretch to unknown places....sometime they don't even know where they are going until they get there!
Rusty Starz will take you to a place you always knew you had. The sound has been compared to a poppy My Morning Jacket combined with the spirit of Ween and with respect to the Dead sliced with experimental Sonic Youth.
Rusty Starz is fronted by Jon Jeans. Jon moved from San Diego after leading the Citrus Revolution on stage for 4 years. He has played and sang at over 100 shows including the San Diego Rock n Roll Marathon. He teaches fifth grade and is a video editor on the side.
Andy Schmidt plays lead electric guitar and sings. He is a local photographer and videographer. He is a veteran of High Fashion and Element, showing off his musical talents as a drummer in these bands.
Ben Cline plays the drums. His distinctive rolls and fills compliment the bands eclectic styling. He brings influences from Sonic Youth and Rush to the groove. Ben grew up in Hood River and works as a photo editor.
Russ Hiser keeps it all in time on the bass. Russ brings stage experience from the east coast bands Barn Yard Lovers and Three Feet Deep. He is an international man of business who brings humor into every song. Influences include Grateful Dead, REM, Cake, Phish.
Vince Blaney adds percussion, harmonica and vocals to the band. He brings road experience from east coast jam band, PHUNKT, and his wide variety of sounds fills out the Rusty Starz style. An ever fountain of positive energy, Vince works as a physical therapist.
