Frequently Asked Questions
How come I’ve never heard of you guys before?
Starlarker is a relatively new venture. We’ve played in various bands for many years—and (literally) wearing many different hats. Getting a new band going is kinda hard, so Starlarker has really only been gigging in its current format since 2024.
What sort of stuff do you do?
Hmmm—it’s difficult to put a label on it, especially when the material is your own and original. For the most part Starlarker’s sound is acoustic and fairly stripped back—quite poppy with maybe a touch of blues and jazz. We’re calling it “lounge folk”.
What the hell is “lounge folk”—is it even a thing?
Lounge folk is a musical genre that blends the laid-back vibe of lounge music with the acoustic story-telling elements of folk. Ask ChatGPT if you don’t believe us.
Don’t I know you from somewhere?
Maybe. We’ve been hanging around the Hull music scene for years, going to loads of gigs and playing at open mics. We’ve also played in other bands (and still do), most prolifically the Laggy Band—and sometimes helping out Moon Moth.
What’s that weird wooden briefcase thing that makes a droning noise?
That’s a shruti box.
Can I book you to play at my [insert event here]?
Of course—we’d like that. We’re always looking for opportunities to play in front of an audience of appreciative music lovers. You can contact Starlaker here. Just bear in mind that we play our own original songs—which may not be everyone’s cup of tea. If you’re looking for a good-time party band then consider booking the Laggy Band instead.
