STARK - UK Tour Live In London

      By Simone Stenfors

       

 

    

     Stark first formed in 2003.Fronted by the luscious Lani Ford, a girl
       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 !!
