"Mass Recovery Fest - Artist Showcase #5: Blue Star Burns Red"

Epic is the first word that comes to mind when listening to Blue Star Burns Red; they rise, they fall, they rise again. Their music could be easily placed over the slow motion climax of your favorite action movie. Developing for the past year in and around North Hampton, MA, Blue Star Burns Red combines rock elements from multiple genres to create a huge instrumental sound that demands and deserves your attention. The band unifies the resounding guitars of Mark Sloss, Kevin Casey, and Chuck Vermette over the haunting keyboards and experimental samples of K.J. Roberts, the punctual bass of Andrew Moore, and the crashing drums of Mike Jaczyck.

Blue Star Burns Red is putting out their first full-length release, “Primoris,” this March at their CD release show on the 27th. The show is at The Elevens in Northampton with Ghost Ocean, Those Wolves Actually Happened, and Fugue. After that, they’ll be playing Day 2 of this year’s Mass Recovery Fest, which should prove to be an epic evening indeed. - Tony Marciello - Mass Recovery

Bio

Blue Star Burns Red is an original instrumental band combining elements of experimental rock and ambient jazz. Formed in Western Massachusetts in the Spring of 2009, they released their debut album "Primoris" the following year. Their compositions are intelligent and unpretentious, characterized by sinuous guitar melodies and moody atmospherics built atop powerful and hypnotic rhythm structures that may change time, and tempo, at any moment. Their performances are captivating, incorporating live visual effects, and creating a profound experience for audiences. For fans of Tortoise, The Mercury Program, Explosions in The Sky, and Mogwai.
