theSTART

It's wild to listen to "Shakedown!".. been years! I was just a teen in a transformational phase music tastes wise experimenting with anything but just metal. Fell in love with the synths and Aimee's voice.

They’re not bad at all.

theSTART reunite on Saturday, September 23rd at Alex's Bar in Long Beach! http://www.ticketfly.com/purchase/event/1509554 :)

My teen napster love :)

Spunk Rock is a new music blog devoted to discovering and sharing new great bands like theStart, check it out and follow: joelspunkrock.blogspot.com

What's going on with this band lately? I'd love to have a new album from them. Doesn't seem like that's going to happen, though.

f.cking awesome band!!!

<3

woah! forgot about these guys, theyre really good ;)

Just listened to theStart on Seattle's The Edge C-89.5. Very cool! Sad to see nothing new here. If anyone is interested in listening to something similar, try http://www.last.fm/music/More+Machine+Than+Man/Dark+Matter. Some have described it as new wave industrial with hooks. Hope you like it and hope to hear new music from theStart soon!!!

Overdue for a new album!

Im sad. I need more live amiee/thestart in my life. Is she still doing that normandie thing?

The Conversation is one of the best songs I've ever heard.

Jamie Miller is apparently recording and touring with the "new" Orgy right now, if that's any indication...

anybody know when they'll be bringing out a new album..... or should I say "IF" they'll be bringing out a new album??

'Time' pleases my ears oh so much.

As posted by Jamie, here is a new demo of a Motley Crue cover that was done for fun in their home studio. They will supposedly be playing shows later this year. http://soundcloud.com/engine-room-recordings/kickstart-my-heart-thestart

I'm confused as to where they even dissapeared too..they have no presence online anymore..

wanttt!!

"Is thestart still making music?" Was just coming here to ask this. Every time I check up on them, they haven't really done anything new.

Is thestart still making music? I have so many good memories of Amy and her amazing stage presence at Hollywood gigs.

How abouts a main photo featuring members of the current lineup?

These guys are straight-up awesome. It's kind of like if Kelli Ali had stayed with the Sneaker Pimps up until the present day, and Chris Corner had been roused from his crushing depression in 2005 by listening to the New Pornographers' "Twin Cinema" on loop until his brain bled out his ears.

I really want to check them out! where could I do it?

Check out The Ventanas! http://www.last.fm/music/The+Ventanas or http://www.myspace.com/thecrash39n39burns

Smashing Pumkins tribute, ... wow. http://blip.fm/profile/alteringreality/blip/42684397/theSTART%E2%80%93Raindrops+++Sunshowers

In 1979, Andrew St. George, Richard Rudolph, Tony Blaise and Mark Valdez formed a band in St. George's Toronto basement. Through an ad in the Toronto Star, they added Simon Slinger as the lead vocalist, and The Start was in business. After a few shows at Lee's Palace, The Horseshoe, The Edge and Larry's Hideaway, they were noticed by Capital Records and offered an album deal. In 1980, Hey You was released as an album and a single. The recording was engineered by Daniel Lanois. The Start received airplay on CFNY, and shared the stage with the likes of The Pretenders, The B52s, Teenage Head and Elvis Costello at Toronto's outdoor festival, Heatwave. But as all loyal fans all remember, The Start's claim to fame was having their single Hey You being adopted as the theme song for the All Night Show on CFMT-TV. Chuck the Security Guard (Chas Lawther), used to dance and sing along throughout the summer of 1980.

Hey you is a new wave song of the start. A band of the beginning of the eighties

all i ever wanted! <3

They deserve to be HUGE.

Guess who found a new favorite band to drool ovar!!! :D

I thought that the girl was Gwen Stefani :D

Where can I download the albums? They don't have them in my country ¬_¬

"Initiation" is my favourite album by them, so good!

<3 <3

EU AMO THESTART!

@nyork_binox: sometimes they have some of their stuff on soulseek but I don't know if they would still have it. Missing Persons should be in their top five similar artists.

Someone please tell me where I can download their albums online?? I would buy them but I'm money-less at atm...I only want a listen, please!!! :'(

Aimee has such a killer voice! I fuckin looooove theSTART!

God, I love this band. I do

So apparently Aimee, Jamie and Chelsea did some sort of sideproject while Lance was away. Why they didn't just write more theSTART songs, I don't know.

От немезиса меня просто выворачивает, в хорошем смыле этого слова :D

We will rock together in March!

"If we can get it together, we will be playing some tunes we've never done before so...we'll see what happens." - myspace update. Awesome.

I really want some new start material!

aimee echo!!!!!!!!!! :D

FINALLY got my copy of Shakedown!. It's awesome.

Maybe 80s Madonna. But Aimee Echo sounds more like Cyndi Lauper to me.

I've started to listen to their newest album. seems to be good. Nice tunes, very catchy....
