Austinist Show Giveaway: Stars & Dax Riggs at Stubb's

Montreal based outfit Stars has managed to capture our heart every time we take in their pop melodies and poignant lyricism. Amy Millan and Torquil Compbell are true stars, countering each other perfectly with crisp vocal delivery, while crystal clear production on the band’s recordings complemented by immaculate instrumentation make for a mighty fine final product. The band has two releases to be proud of this year -- Stars released In Our Bedroom After The War in September, their first studio album since 2005’s Set Yourself On Fire. In Our Bedroom came just four months after Do You Trust Your Friends?, a song by song re-do of the 2005 effort. The band invited a number of peers for this project and with remixes by The Dears, Metric, and Junior Boys, the album offers a fresh spin on Stars’ brand of indie-pop.

As a bonus, one can witness Dax Riggs in the warm confines of the inside stage after the outdoors gig. Riggs, originally from Indiana but now based out of Louisiana, is a veteran of a number of acts such as Acid Bath, Daisyhead and the Mooncrickets, Agents of Oblivion, and most recently, deadboy and the Elephantmen.
