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

Told you before
Right from the start
I’m gonna be leaving

We’ve been living on
Borrowed time

You’ve been pushing your luck
Again and again
Since the beginning

But this is where
I draw the line

What is this shit
It’s not my shit
This shit’s your shit
You deal with it

I’m getting up
I’ll leave this here
I’ll take my keys
I’m stepping out

Cause I’m not this guy
Never been this guy
I am not this angry old and tired

You’ve been holding me back
Now I’m back on my track
Just get out of my way

Just get out of my way - get out of my way - get out of my way

Look I admit
I didn’t lead you on
But I could have been clearer

I gave you more
Than you asked me for

You thought I might change
You thought I could see
That there’s nothing to fear here

Im cutting the cord
I’m closing the door - I’m closing the door - I’m closing the door

Not another day
No matter what you say
Under no condition

We’ve been playing this game
For much too long
You’ve got to listen

I will take this matter in my hands
Here’s my decision

You will have to find somebody else than me cause really I just can’t

What is this shit
It’s not my shit
This shit’s your shit
You deal with it

I’m getting up
I’ll leave this here
I’ll take my keys
I’m stepping out

Cause I’m not this guy
Never been this guy
I am not this angry old and tired

You’ve been holding me back
Now I’m back on my track
Just get out of my way

Just get out of my way - get out of my way
get out of my way - get out of my way

What is this shit
It’s not my shit
This shit’s your shit
You deal with it

I’m getting up
I’ll leave this here
I’ll take my keys
I’m stepping out
I’m stepping out
I’m stepping out
