Formed
in the spring of 1995 by vocalist/ guitarist Tommy Lugo, joined by
drummer Bob Foreman in 1996,& by bass-player Peter Ohlert in 2004
Stellarscope have the rare ability to combine quality space-pop and
lavish surreally (and, yes, even white noise) to achieve an ecclesiastic-orgiastic
frenzy.
Influenced
by such bands from the 60s to the latest underground acts worldwide,
they have an innate ability to create textured sound-scapes that
border on the psychedelic. Unlike most bands of the genre, Stellarscope
relies heavily on straight ahead vocal conviction, giving the songs
a sense of grounded-ness when the chaos of sounds ensues.
They
have been playing the East Coast of the US & Canada on a regular
basis for many years now, honing they're live, bliss-out sounds,
and has released several full length albums, as well as many EPs.
They have also contributed to several worldwide compilations and
tribute albums. They are also known for their work in the scene.
They have organized successful tours, shows, festivals including
the Popnoise Festival & events through out the northeast region
of the US for several years now. Creating a large network of bands,
friends, & fans that work together to move the scene forward.
They are also a fully self-contained band owing their own studio
& video production company named Patetico Productions and an
independent record label Patetico Recordings.
In
2006 they are to release the long waited Reverberations CD on the
Puertorican Indie label NoiseX Records; as well as their newest
production Living Under the Radar, which takes them into a different
direction than their previous efforts and has even received an Honorable
Mention for Songwriting & the chance of commercial success from
the Billboard. They will be touring in Puerto Rico in the spring,
and the 3rd annual Popnoise Festival in September.
