Stars Go Dim on purevolume™

Pop / Soul / Rock

The songs you hum walking to class or out shopping, those are the catchy gems Tulsa pop-soul quartet Stars Go Dim specializes in. Start with Joey Avalos' sweet guitar riffs, add the smooth vocals of Chris Cleveland and back it all with the seasoned rhythm section of bassist Michael Wittig and drummer Lester Estelle and you'll find yourself hooked upon first listen.

Stars Go Dim released three digital singles this last Fall through their website, www.starsgodim.com, in anticipation of their debut LP "Love Gone Mad" in Summer 2008, which promises to showcase their unique blend of modern pop and classic soul.

Hanging with Wilderness men and talking about tomahawks!

So the other day we were hanging with these wilderness men and we were chatting about tomahawk throwing. You don't believe me? It's totally true. Would I lie? Watch our new video that covers the historic March 28, 2008. A real fan would know that is the date of our debut performance as a full band. Watch and see for yourself or I'll tomahawk you!

SGD won the CMT Listener's Choice Award!

We hope you all had a wonderful and memorable Easter. There is nothing better than eating rainbow colored chicken eggs of pastel and neon pink. Don’t forget chocolate bunnies especially the Reese’s type are my favorite. Kids fall asleep the night before with a smile at the thought of a 6-foot, snow-white bunny sneaking into their house giving them a basket full of candy and eggs. All that is left now is picking up all the green, yellow, and pink grass used to pretty the baskets. –SGD SGD WON CMT AWARD!

New Code Contest/Subscribe to SGD Podcast/CMT Award

Hello friends! It's been crazy busy over here in SGD Land. We have finished tracking all the drums, bass and rhythm guitars for the rest of the LOVE GONE MAD LP. All there's left to do is record vocals and have our secret weapon (Luke Sullivant) create some music magic. I just recently flew out to Tulsa, Oklahoma to meet up with Chris Cleveland to start producing the vocals. Things are really coming along. Chris just recently moved his studio from Owasso OK, to his home in Tulsa OK. It's very comfortable and convenient. I have been sleeping on a futon in the "CAVE" also known as the studio. All the windows are blacked out and the room is completely sound proof. It's basically a giant coffin. I have eaten Mexican food everyday since I arrived in Tulsa and to be honest, I can say that I am getting tired of it. I need to find me a place to get some chicken and rice!!! It's nice to be back in Tulsa. It's good to see old friends and take in the "slow life" of Oklahoma. It's nothing like Phoenix Arizona, where I live. It's sort of a vacation for me. Honestly, everyday is like a vacation for me. I am truly thankful to be able to make music for a living. I can't thank you all enough for all the love and support you have shown us. We are truly blessed! Joey Avalos and SGD FAMECAST CONTEST. SGD is currently in the Top 25 in the Fame Cast Contest thanks to all your amazing support. Voting to make the Top 10 continue until this Tuesday, March 4 at noon (EST). Please continue voting once a day from every email address you have access. Once we make the Top 10 we will be posting a new video nobody has seen before. If we win you all are invited to our private island we own for a concert.
