Before even releasing a record, the group acquired a cheerleader in the form of BBC DJ, Steve Lamacq who playlisted a home recorded demo tape of their song "Red Arc" "It just goes to show you that you don't necessarily have to go into a big, expensive 24 track studio to make something that will grab people's attention... that track is a real grower." - Steve Lamacq, BBC Radio 1 Subsequently, they recorded "Disconnection" at a session for the influential French station, Aligre FM which enjoyed heavy rotation alongside A-listers such as David Bowie & Interpol. Their demos continue to be broadcast on radio stations & podcasts throughout Europe, the UK & the USA. Downloaders have proved no less eager to embrace Star Belgrade's music. Since their debut on the Irish music website, CPU.ie, their songs have charted them as the site's most downloaded unsigned Irish band of all time. In recent months Star Belgrade have been selected for major national showcase gigs including 2006 Hard Working Class Heroes Festival, Murphy's Live 2007 and more recently the 2007 IMRO Showcase Tour. The band are currently playing gigs across Europe and working on the post production of their debut EP with legendary engineer, Paul Thomas (U2/Phil Lynott) and producer, Gizzy D of Analogue Mindfield - it's due to be released later this summer.
