This sounds like early placebo... in fact they were on that 5 night stand doodah with placebo years ago on mtv I believe. Rocking song though with balls out lyrics!
Why did they split? This band were awesome! Saw them a few weeks after this gig at Glastonbury Festival and they kicked ass in the New Bands tent... they were even better on the other stage the following year.
They didn't split. They recorded a 2nd album but the new execs at the label didn't like it and didn't want to release it. It's called "zurich" and it's worth hearing if you're a fan and not hard to find. Last I heard these guys were playing in a 5 piece called Dragons.
No, unfortunately not... However, drummer Dave Francolini (previously a founding member of Levitation), a creative force in the band, went on to form Dragons... Dragons have released a debut album to creative acclaim and have also released several videos. They are currently touring the UK and Europe and are busy recording a second album.

@lexusppp sorry but I think Placebo predated these. Perhaps it was the other way round. Still great though.

@TrevorMullet It could be the terrible lyrics and not enough tunes. But they we're very 'in' either. I really like the sound though.

The best one note solo ever, and an amazing song from a band that split up way too soon.

Dark Star came out of Levitation. I saw Levitation years ago supporting The Cardiacs. Classic stuff. yep, execs, labels, new groups etc. it happens.

Are Dark Star still together.?? Are they still making albums.??
griffspeed 4 years ago
Don't think so. They were but probably a flash in the pan like Inspiral Carpets. Great song though.
