WA Launch
12 September 2008
On a night that well and truly delivered, Stellas Kitchen treated their audience to a spectacular show demonstrating why they’re one of WA’s finest bands. They immediately showed why they have been in high regard with tight guitar melodies, accelerated drumming and powerful vocals showing a memorable performance for that night.
Noticeably enthusiastic after their recent success launch “Baby” to 96.1 fm the song drew the crowd closer to the stage dancing whilst the boys worked their magic. The sweet saxophone sound demanded attention and showed it’s a fantastic opportunity to witness outstanding local talent. After “Baby” they left the crowd hungry for more, and more is what the crowd got. Feeling the throbbing bass beats below your feet and the sound of everyone around you singing along to their lyrics made you feel as you never want the night to end.
For their whole set the four brothers had a smile on their face and knew they couldn’t put a foot wrong if they tried. For all those who attended the gig left content and very impressed. I guarantee all those who went to the event will defiantly be seeing Stellas Kitchen again for sure.

Friday night. The end of the working week and also a good chance to get down to Amplifier and dance. STELLAS KITCHEN were releasing their debut EP, Fundamentals, and they'd brought along a great supporting cast.
......Then came the moment we'd all been waiting for: STELLAS KITCHEN.First song was new single 'Baby', an uptempo song built for dancing featuring a red hot sax solo from frontman Daniel Romeo. From then on the only way was up. The band then dived into 'Steal Mind', featured some great guitar explorations from youngest brother Jonathon, and 'Talking To', which has been featured on Rage.
The highlight of the night was power ballad 'D'Still Around'. This song had the crowd waving their hands in the air which made for an electrifying atmosphere. The band finished with 'Searching', and after some antics from Homebrewe guitarist Casey Grogan it was all over.If you haven't seen Stella's Kitchen, or any of the other bands that played, go and check them out. Seriously. You won't be disappointed.
