Infinity Vik explains <em>\u201cWhen we came through the wormhole, we were shocked to see how badly people treated the earth and each other. We realised that people just don&#8217;t care!\u201d.<\/em> The track is instantly catchy from the offset, filled with a plethora of futuristic sounds and a shit ton of reverb.<\/p>\n<p>Moviestar are like no other band on earth. Having formed in the future on planet Fenris, Infinity Vik, The Octopus Goddess and The Anaconda create their own unique version of art punk pop, filled with sonic twists and eccentric electronica throughout. The dynamic trio were chosen to go on a dangerous mission through space and time to retrieve \u201cthe stone\u201d and save the world. Moviestar were then sent to Norway, the safest nation in the world, in the dreaded year of 2016.<\/p>\n<p>Throughout the album, a cocktail of sounds are created by the eclectic threesome. Infinity Vik plays a disfigured guitar with only four strings, The Octopus Goddess plays an alluring 32 stringed instrument as well as a synth bass triggered by her toes and The Anaconda uses a child\u2019s drum kit to create astounding, rhythmic soundscapes.<\/p>\n<p>Moviestar are not just a band, they are a reality experience. Their live shows encompass performance, art, storytelling, fashion and music in a whole new transcending form. Infinity Vik is a true performer with an explosive stage presence, having been compared to being a female incarnation of the likes of David Bowie and Freddy Mercury. With &#8216;Stupid People \/ Happy Days,&#8217; Moviestar are ready to put the feeling of danger back into rock \u2019n\u2019 roll.<\/p>\n<p>Check out Moviestar live at the following dates:<\/p>\n<p>October 6th &#8211; Blackmarket VIP, Hastings<br \/>\nOctober 7th &#8211; The Flower Pot, Maidstone<br \/>\nOctober 9th &#8211; The Rialto Theatre, Brighton<br \/>\nOctober 10th &#8211; 15 Orange St, Canterbury<br \/>\nOctober 12th &#8211; Sticky Mikes Frog Bar, Brighton<br \/>\nOctober 19th &#8211; Hotel Pelirocco, Brighton<br \/>\nOctober 21st &#8211; The Albert, Stroud<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Intergalactic archeologists Moviestar prepare to astound and amaze with their new collection of sci-fi infused punk-rock tracks.
