STARK - UK Tour Live In London
By Simone Stenfors

of many talents, 'cause not only does Lani sing lead vocals and play
Bass in the band, but she also does the traffic report on Fox channel 5.
Stark hail from downtown Manhattan, New York. The line up consists of Lani
Ford, Bass and lead vocals, Sweet Rob Endemann, Drums and backing vocals, and
Josette on guitar. However, for this UK tour Josette unfortunately couldnt make
it ,so Starks Producer and Engineer "Sonic Joe Hogan" has stepped in.

The band are over here promoting their new album "Put It To Your Head"
released on January 26th 2008, and featured in Volume One of Soundcheck.
Their influences range from such a diverse sound from The Deadboys to Janis
Joplin.
Lani likes to refer to the bands sound as "Punk-try". Tonight they rocked the
legendry Punk Haunt 'The Hope and Anchor' in Highbury Islington with their
Old School punk Songs and lovely melodies to an appreciative crowd.
Lani, looking so much like a young Suzi Quatro, rocked with the band through
a set of high charged good old fashioned Rock 'n Roll tunes. Songs such as '18
again' are reminiscent of early Blondie, where as the melodic 'Co-Dependent'
and 'Dreams comes True' bring on a more mellow rock vibe to their set.
They were tight and bright. Lani and the rest of the band send out a a happy
vibe which comes across to the audience. You could see people were
really having a good time. As well as that, I have to say that Stark are one of the
nicest bands i've had the pleasure to meet !!
