High Wire Records presents KillerStar
KillerStar musicians on this gig: Rob Fleming, James Sedge, Mike Garson, Mark Plati, Dom Beken, Kevin Armstrong, Ulrika Bergelind with guest Simon Bates.
After an acclaimed Sold Out show at The 100 Club in early 2024 KillerStar will return to The 100 Club one year later for a special show, on the heels of their acclaimed albums ‘KillerStar’ and ‘KillerStar Reimagined’.
KillerStar’s self-titled debut album weaves modern and classic rock into a new distinct sound that features sophisticated harmonies, catchy hooks and elements of art rock. The band is led by Rob Fleming(songwriter, guitar, synths) and James Sedge (Drums) , and they have joined forces with a team of musicians and trusted collaborators from David Bowie’s band : Mike Garson on piano, Earl Slick and Mark Plati on guitar, Gail Ann Dorsey and Tim Lefebvre on bass, Emm Gryner on backing vocals, and Donny McCaslin on saxophone. Collectively,these musicians have contributed to almost every era of Bowie’s vast discography, from the landmark ‘Aladdin Sane’ to the final goodbye of ‘Blackstar’.
