Minky Starshine and the New Cardinals hover just above the sweetest sounds of the pop-rock soundscape. Make no mistake, this band is much more than four pretty faces who write sugar pop melodies mixed with the 70's-inspired, am radio rock they grew up on. Minky (vocals and guitar), Kelly McCullough (bass and vocals), Michael Moore (guitar and vocals) and Mike Levesque (drums) fit together like pieces of an old puzzle, delivering emotionally charged thrills with every living moment. In 2006, their majestic pop anthems shot heart-shaped arrows straight from their hips into the hearts of their audiences. They are currently supporting their debut release, "Hooray for L.A.", which was produced and engineered by Ken Stringfellow (Posies, R.E.M., Big Star).
The music soothes the soul, it rocks the house, it glimmers and shines like the sun in December. Songs burst forth from your stereo like they are something that matter, something you anticipate, long for, and want to share with your friends. Minky-music sends you a surplus of happy-clappy-lovey-dovey overindulgence. It is music you will feel, live and breathe. Their heartfelt concern with matters of the heart will make you feel like you're falling in love all over again.
Guest musicians include Ken Stringfellow, Mike Levesque (David Bowie, Candy Butchers), Jeff Calder (Aimee Mann, Missing Persons), Chris Cugini (Anastasia Screamed, Blizzard of 78), Paul Myers (Blizzard of 78), Phil Aiken (Buffalo Tom), Sean McLaughlin (Elliot Smith), Rob Loyot (Entrain), Drew Townson (Boston Music Award Winner), Jeff Lipton (Sebadoh, Wheat) and more...
