bio

Hello! This should be a really interesting bio page that makes you fall in love with us and our music, but I haven't had time with all the recording and stuff we're doing at the moment for our debut album "noises", but anyway, here's some quick info...

Staark is a brand new canvas for us two creative collaboratives — Kat Valerie (that's me!) and Max Luther.

We like to think that our music is both familiar and yet "fresh", with it's distinctively evocative, bitter-sweet sound. I think “electro velvet pop” comes closest to defining our unique juxtaposition of pretty melodic threads, gritty indie-rock guitars and manic electro deliveries.

Some people say I'm like a Pop Bjork, or maybe an electronic Tori Amos .... "one of Australia's most stunning vocalists" blaa blaa blaa ... but I just hope that our songs cut through all the crap and clutter and connect with you. Because, without you hearing our songs and feeling what I'm trying to say through them, it's all very pointless isn't it?

Okay, that's it. Please keep in touch (my twitter name is Kat_Whispers if you're into the tweetsville, or you can follow Max_ElectroBoy as well — although his tweets are pretty boring! haha, sorry Max!!).

Oh... while you're here, why don't you see what other people have been saying about us and our music? Check out the comments page.

Much love and happiness to you all!
