History

Little is known about Starclub. Vyse, French and Taylor grew up playing music together and would play with many different drummers. Starclub's 1993 eponymous album was in fact recorded with several different drummers, but Alan White was recruited as a full time member and would tour with the band that year. After the album flopped, the band were dropped by island. Alan White would leave to join Oasis, and the remaining trio would go on to form Paint (eventually bringing in drummer Tam Johnstone). Paint recorded for the Sacred record label, but the distributor, Sony, pulled the single before its release. Owen Vyse has since played with Echo & The Bunnymen and recorded with other artists.

Reviews

"Britain's Starclub has a similarly expansive view of the pop-rock world, though its not nearly as fond of Top 40 novelties. Vibrant guitars, sweeping harmonies and an occasional funk groove are more to its liking. Because lead singer Owen Vyse sounds a lot like Paul Rodgers, comparisons with the British bands Free and Bad Company are inevitable, but Starclub's new self-titled album (on Island) is eclectic enough to make the reference moot.

"Producer Chris Hughes, who's worked with Paul McCartney and Tears for Fears, helps create a spacious environment, allowing the band to display its considerable songcraft amid showering harmonies and alternately soaring and raunchy guitars on the album's catchiest tunes — the romantic ballad "Call My Name," the rousing weekend anthem "Hard to Get" and the sultry shuffle "Let Your Hair down." — The Washington Post, Wednesday, 03 Mar. 1993.
