STARS OF TRACK AND FIELD - "MOVIES OF ANTARCTICA"

Stars of Track and Field is a three-piece indie pop band from Portland, Oregon, currently on the Wind-Up Records label. Their name is in reference to the Belle and Sebastian song of the same name found on If You're Feeling Sinister.

The band released a new album, entitled Centuries Before Love And War, to the iTunes Store in August 2006 and released a physical copy in January 2007. Several tracks from the album are available on the group's MySpace page.

"Standout 'Movies of Antartica' is a desolate stadium anthem that echoes Radiohead and Coldplay." - Billboard, January 2007

Stars of Track and Field 24hrspodcast interview





24hrs Joe Leary spoke with Kevin Calaba of Portland's Stars of Track on the soggy opening day of Virgin fest in Vancouver in which they discuss everything from the origin of the band's name to US politics.



The band was joined by former AC/DC drummer Chris Slade on DirecTV's original game show "Rock and a Hard Place" hosted by Meat Loaf in which they faced country group Lonestar.

"A little bit poppy, a little bit electronic, a little bit dreamy. All together amazing." - NY Post's Best Songs to Download from 2006, December 19th, 2006

SXSW Executive Producer Matt Dentlers blog listed Stars of Track and Field as the #4 Band to Watch for 2006. Stars Of Track And Field played live in concert on some cable show of a gig at The Lone Star Lounge in Austin, Texas for SXSW on 03-17-07.
Dang I'm telling you.. matter of time man.....the fire is growing.

I read all these comments on their Myspace page from people who caught the SXSW Texas gigs. Sounds like they're growing fans. Or rather addicted fans you might say. Bunch of quotes like this, "I can't quit listening to the CD, but to see ya'll live cannot be topped." ...And lots of "y'all's". hahahaha
