MAJOR STARS

Major Stars is a critically acclaimed American psychedelic rock band from greater Boston, Massachusetts. In 2002, they toured with Acid Mothers Temple as an opening act and performed at the South by Southwest Festival in Austin, Texas. In 2003, Major Stars released Live In Europa, a limited edition split LP with Comets on Fire.[2] In 2005 and 2006, the band performed at North East Sticks Together. On April 28, 2007, Major Stars was the first concert of New York City's WFMU Free Music Series.[3] Previously, on May 9, 2006, Major Stars had performed live in the WFMU studio.[4] Interestingly, guitarist Wayne Rogers sang lead vocals on all of the band's releases through 2005's 4, when Sandra Barrett was hired to take over those duties.[5] Barrett was apparently stepping away from the band around 2010, as guest vocalist Amanda Bristow performed on a couple songs from that year's album Return To Form. By 2012, the band had a new full-time singer, Hayley Thompson-King.[6]
