about

The seven starchateers have already spent half their lives on tour together, playing together all over the world, lived in an old hotel on the Appenzell country side and built their own music club. This shows: the groove of this crew is right. You can hear and see it wherever they show up, from the craziest basement shack to fancy jazz clubs to the big festivals of Montreux, Bangkok or Bangladesh.

starch plays groove music. In its own unmistakable way. Imaginative and without stylistic or geographical boundaries. The choruses reflect the lightness of being on the Australian beach. The instrumental solos spray the color-swelling 24 hour vibration of Asian cities. The raps and grooves breathe the coolness of European urbanity. Polyglot Funk, which takes the hearts of the public by storm in all over the world.

lyrics

After midnight in the kitchen
We stand around and bake a bread
We talk about Jean-Paul Sartre
Emma Stone and Talking Heads
And when we’re ready for cocktails
We move down to Sixty Three
Try to order Pisco sour
But then you talk to me

That’s the way we’re living
Serge, Bob, and me
That is how we like it
Bourgeoisie

There’s no beginning
Uuh - and there’s no end
Here and now is not the moment
To draw a line in the sand

Circles
Again and again
Circles
Again and again

You are so fascinating
I’m drowning in your eyes
We’re lost in this strong moment
Falling stars in purple skies
Your brown hair on my pillow
You smile, I look at you
And the world, the world is turning
And we are turning too

That’s the way we’re living
Serge, Bob, and me
That is how we like it
Bourgeoisie

There’s no beginning
Uuh - and there’s no end
Here and now is not the moment
To draw a line in the sand

Circles
Again and again
Circles
Again and again

That’s the way we’re living
That is how we like it

There’s no beginning
And there’s no end
Here and now is not the moment
To draw a line in the sand

Circles
Again and again
Circles

Circles
Again and again
Circles

STARCH Switzerland

starch spielt Groovemusik. Auf eigene unverkennbare Weise. Ideenreich und ohne stilistische oder geografische Grenzen. Die Instrumentalsoli versprühen das farbüberquellende 24-stündige Vibrieren Asiatischer Grossstädte. Die Raps und Grooves atmen die Coolness Europäischer Urbanität. Polyglotter Funk, der die Herzen des Publikums in aller Herren Länder im Sturm erobert. ... more
