Red Stars Theory
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Red Stars Theory were formed in early '95 when James Bertram was looking for someone to play guitar with and found Tonie Palmasani, Jeremiah Green and Jason Talley. They got together, found that something just clicked, and put out first a 10 inch on Deluxe and then a 7 inch and LP on RX Remedy. Seth Warren was asked to play violin on the album and has been a full time member of the group ever since.
Red Stars Theory has so far been a slow moving band because of the other musical projects they are involved in. Jeremiah has been in Modest Mouse the whole time Red Stars Theory have been a band, but left Modest Mouse for a short period following a falling between him and the other two members, alledgedly due to Jeremiah's long time drug abuse and Isaac Brock's drinking causing a creativity clash between the two. Shortly thereafter, Modest Mouse released their best selling record, Good News for People Who Love Bad News, which became their most commercially successful release, with two videos and three singles taken off the album. Jeremiah returned to tour with the group later on, and is still a member of the band currently.
James has played in Built to Spill, and was in 764-HERO until the band's break up in 2002.
When the band do manage to get together they try to always try to make as much music as possible.
Life in a Bubble... is the group's debut record for Touch and Go. The seven songs here are mellower and less aggressive than you may have heard previously, but are no less emotionally charged.
Suicide Squeeze has released a compilation cd combining their original out-of-print vinyl, and have since released the "Naima" 7", which is a minimalistic cover of John Coltrane, with strings replacing the saxophone. The B-Side is North to Next (exit), a remix by Sientific American and features prominent samples from the first two tracks from the band's 1999 album "Life in a Bubble Can Be Beautiful."
