B-Fly hosts the next KALX Live! on Saturday, June 6th. Tune in at 9pm to hear our featured local artist, Lady Starbeast, including a live set and interview from the East Bay band. Mark your calendars for their next Bay Area performances in July including 7/5 at Thee Stork Club and 7/17 at Ivy Room.
Defying traditional genre and embodying idiosyncrasy, Oakland-based dark pop artists Ilana Magill and Marc Martell join forces to form the project Lady Starbeast. Ilana is the songwriter and vocalist; Marc creates the instrumentation; and together they record and produce.
Ilana combines sultry, powerful vocals with operatic background harmonies, dark, eerie and intricate melodies and a wild, irreverent spirit. Her lyrical content explores the introspective particularities of mental health, while using a broad lens to remark on the human condition. Marc’s dramatic electro-pop instrumentation gives the listener a glimpse into the inner-workings of their minds and hearts, making for a raucous and haunting experience.
