Performing glamorous indie pop inspired by the foremost classical guitar combustion's of the late '70s, the Starlite Desperation also presented the rawness alike the heaviest of garage rock squads. Their notability was firstly due for not using a bass player, therefore offering flammable sounds based upon a two-guitar spectacle. Starlite formed in 1995, in Monterey, CA, by guitarman and vocalist Dante Adrian-White, guitarist Dana Lacono, and drummer Jeff Ehrenberg. Putting together a faithful fan base around California's club scene for years, they released several singles on the Gold Standard Labs Records label, prior to 1998's Show You What, their first long-length record. They then decided it was time to relocate and moved to Detroit. It was by that time that Lacono abandoned the set, being substituted by bass player Yasmine Smith. Still as a three-piece, but with the addition of the rhythm masteries of Smith, the California-sprung team released their second album, Go Kill Mice, in 1999, on the Flapping Jet Records label. Show You What A Baby Won't appeared two years later. ~ Mario Mesquita Borges
