STRFKR Announce New Album, US Tour Dates, and Single “While I’m Alive!”


Starfucker | Preorder Miracle Mile

Starfucker had been teasing on their facebook about big news that was to come on Tuesday…I’d be lying if I told you I didn’t scream like a school girl when I found out what it was. I’m not here to lie. I’m here to share facts. Their tour will take them from coast to coast and will include Los Angeles this time at the Fonda on March 2nd. Their live shows are just about everything you could ask for. Live drums. Enthusiastic guitar jams. Lights. Synths. EVERYONE dancing. It’s just a special place to be. Check the complete list of city stops here.

Listening to “While I’m Alive” is like revisiting a lost love. Such a warm feeling of curiosity and a yearning to find out more. The name comes from their bassist Shawn, who has a tattoo that says “Live while you are alive.” Takes me back to the YOLO mentality where every second of life needs to be considered, as it’s a gift. The track encapsulates their progress as a band, but their third full length will be different from previous releases. Frontman Josh Hodges formerly made all of Starfucker’s music on his own. In Miracle Mile, all the members come together to fine tune each individual track and make it a group effort. I simply can’t wait for this. Check the music, tour dates, and tracklist after the jump:
