| . .of Killarney Star, our completely stupid, totally amateur new podcast series for 2006. About the only thing it has going for it is the sound quality, since we recorded it in our studio. This episode is called "0001: Why Should You Give a Crap [about said subject]?" And while that question is never answered, lots of other mildly hilarious things happen, like fireworks setting the neighborhood ablaze, electronic noises, and tons of uncomfortable dead air.

After charming Orange County, CA, as singer and keytarist of her electronica-pop band, Nektarine, which shared stages with national acts and was nominated for Best Electronic Rock Band in the 2004 OC Music Awards, pianist Killarney Star returned to her songwriting roots by settling in the college town of Gainesville, FL. Stuffing tons of drama into neatly arranged bottles of indie-pop gems, K-Star mesmerizes audiences with a commanding stage presence, laced with flirty dances with her keytar. Her show is less serious but just as compelling as those of Tori Amos, with a succinct songwriting power influenced by The Police. Her lush piano harmonies, dexterous rhythms, soaring choruses and intelligent lyrics are quickly capturing fans' hearts and earning her regular places on commercial radio stations and podcasts worldwide.
Killarney's debut solo album, Starfish, is sold out. A totally remixed and partially re-recorded new printing of it will be available on this site and will be sold through iTunes starting in February, 2009.

12/3/05 Thanks for your support at Common Grounds last night! We pulled 100 people watching our set "avidly" as my dad, who was there from Virginia, put it. I received many compliments on the new lineup of Steve, Craig and Masa. You know you can't resist a band with a cowbell, maracas, a stand-up bass and a keytar! Not to mention my feather boa. With Maxwell Edison going out with a bang, along with the Christmas antics of Morningbell & Band Marino, it was a truly great semester closer, thank you everyone!!
