The Starling Effect
@thestarlingeffect.bsky.social
We are an independent rock band from Vancouver, BC. Gen-X dad rock, but make it shoegaze.
This green beauty has been seeing a lot of action behind the scenes at Starling HQ. In fact, this Danelectro baritone is the only guitar John has been playing lately, sparking at least three new embryonic ideas. Of which perhaps one will become a finished song. Such is the way of things.

This is as good a time as any to announce that we will be on the Unsigned BC radio show, which airs Saturday (September 13) at 4 pm on Co-op Radio (CFRO-FM 100.5 in Vancouver, or listen online). #liveradio #thestarlingeffect #unsignedbc #localmusic #indiemusic

A little patio-garden visitor. I think it’s a Harmonia axyridis, but I’m no expert.

Hey Vancouver peeps. We won’t be playing this Friday as initially announced. But we already have shows lines up in March and April, so watch for details soon.

We also play live shows like a real band. Here’s the next one? Anyone got the scoop on KW Studios? We’ve never been!

This was us a couple of months ago. (Note the @slowdiveofficial.bsky.social shirt.) Tonight we do it again, this time at the Princeton Pub in Vancouver. See you there?
