About This: The MOVIE STAR JUNKIES wanted to do a concept album for Herman Melville (Moby Dick) and all kind of stories about shipwrecks, like illness, religion dirty love and more. King Automatic found this band in Torino, Italy. This combo is very influenced by the Birthday Party or the Gun Club combined with a soft touch of incredible strange Exotica Rhythms Easy Listening and Surf and a nuance of TRASH - typically for a VOODOO RHYTHM band.Formed in 2005 as a duo they released a single on 'A Fistful of Records' (Netherlands), on 'Nasty Product' (France) and on 'No-fi records' (Italy). Slow, moody, mean floor crawler will remind you of everything negative or of a dark sounding record in the Crypt Catalogue, but without leaving with the possibility to refer to this or that band...desperate vocals, moaning organ, trashy distorted guitar. MOVE STAR JUNKIES were performing in clubs, squats galleries and in the streets of your city. They were supporting Jon Spencer Blues Explosion and the Lost Sounds. After listening to this 12 amazing tracks you'll feel like pushed in the year of 1634 and you are on a big boat and got homesick and ready to die but you have to fight. This is exactly what this album gives to you. Buy this record and become a MOVIE STAR JUNKIE junkie. Desperate vocals, moaning organ and trashy distorted guitar. influenced by the Birthday Party or the Gun Club, combined with soft touches of incredible strange exotica rhythms, easy listening and surf, plus a touch of trash. Or in other words, here's another typical Voodoo Rhythm band.
