Biography
Stargroves is an Indie Rock/Compositional Pop band formed in New York, USA in 2012 founded by lead singer Teddy Watson (vocals, guitar, banjo). He is accompanied by four core band members: Enrico De Trizio (keyboard, synthesizer), Bryan Percival (bass), Charlie Rauh (electric guitar), Andrea Belfiore (drums). On certain recordings and special live performances, there is an extended cast of band members: Jesse Stacken (toy piano), Concetta Abbate (violin, viola, mandolin), George Lykogiannis (harmonium), and Sarah Goldstone (melodica). Heavily influenced by Freelance Whales, Sigur Rós, Stars, Metric, Arcade Fire, and Of Monsters And Men.
At the beginning of 2012, Teddy retreated to Iceland for three months to focus on writing music in solitude, without the distractions of NYC. Upon returning to the States, Teddy formed Stargroves and teamed up with producer Jeremy Sklarsky (Freelance Whales' "Weathervanes") to record during the summer. The result is a collection of unique, melodic, original songs sure to delight music lovers.
The first single, “Westfjords,” is named after the large peninsula in northwestern Iceland. The song itself is about trolls, the subject of legend in the area.
Over the coming months, Stargroves will be releasing a few tracks they recorded this summer as singles, eventually leading to a full album release. Live performances are also in the works! Updates can be found at our official website: http://www.stargroves.com/
