BBC Introducing with Tom Robinson on 6music


The Stark Palace - Roger Simian (Dawn Of The Replicants, dumb/SULK trigg-er zine) & Cameron Jack - have been played on various radio stations including Radio 1, BBC 6 Music and East Village Radio in New York. Fans include Scottish novelist, Iain Banks, and also Tom Robinson (2-4-6-8 Motorway etc) who invited the lads in to record a session for his 6 Music programme in 2008 and often uses their CroMagnon Man as a bed on his Introducing... show.



Brakelight Cabernet The Stark Palace's 3rd E.P. is free to download right here...

THE WEREWOLF SONG (simian)
A cheerful song about the compulsion to maim and kill whenever the moon rises and the Hombre Lobo curse kicks in.

ATTENTION SPAN (jack)
Some relationships are just trouble from the start.

HUNGARIAN MINOR (simian)
Named after the scale the tune's written in, rather than underage Eastern Europeans.

BRAKELIGHT CABERNET (words: jack music: simian)
An eventful trip Cameron once took to Avignon with friends.



Roger Simian has also been busily editing the most recent video, Ghost, for fellow Shark Batter act, Sarahjane Swan. Filmed at Darnick Town Hall, Scotland, it's an ode to SJS's amorous resident poltergeist and in the vid she sports a fine ensemble of personae: from Demon Bride to Glam-Rock Guitar Chica, even at points conjuring her inner Nancy Sinatra...
