StarBenders – PRESHOW RITUALS

In this Preshow Rituals segment, the glam rock band, StarBenders, share what they do before every show. You can check out their rituals, after the break.

Kimi Shelter here from StarBenders, ready to reveal to you the band’s bizarre and unexplainable pre-show rituals. There is little to no talking before a show as we go to great lengths to still the energy backstage. This isn’t something we agreed upon but came naturally to us as we are a band of few words. We’ll either listen to Chopin, Nocturne for Piano, No.1 in B flat minor or Kevin Gates’ 2014 hit, “I Don’t Get Tired” featuring August Alsina. It really depends on the mood. If we are a little ragged out, we reach for the Kevin Gates’ jam for that extra pick me up.

The day of the show leading up to soundcheck, I will play the Ouija board with Chris. We try to commune with a dead relative to extract a few pearls of wisdom from the otherworld. Sometimes we get lucky. We are obsessed with metaphysical realms. Aaron mostly vapes while looking at his phone for juicy updates from the colorful world of the web. The boys will usually take a few peeks out of the backstage door, curtain or whatever to get a lock on the cute girls in the crowd.

We do like to nurse a drink from time to time and whiskey seems to be the preferred spirit. Katie really loves Jameson. Typical rock n roll behavior in some ways and in others we have more in common with a bushel of hay. Hey! Check out our latest single, So High produced by Nico Constantine and brought to you by the fine folks at Institution Records.
