FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

New York, NY, October 1, 2008--NYC rock trio STARK and Lani Ford announce Fall show dates and release of Women Of Rock compilation CD. STARK has officially replaced Josette with guitarist and engineer/co-producer, Sonic Joe Hogan. Also, Sweet Rob Endemann has left the band to raise a family in Florida, so Eric Rock ‘n Robel, formerly with Heroin Sheiks and Nova Express, has joined the group on drums. STARK’s sophomore album Put It To Your Head, released January 26th is continuing to receive great press and radio, with recent reviews in Big Takeover Magazine and Jersey Beat and recent play on Roots Rock Radio, Women’s Radio Review, ‘nette Radio, Radio Crystal Blue, Indie 104, and Portland’s WMPG-FM.

STARK’s song “Disturbed” is featured on Bubblegum Slutzine’s Summer CD sampler and “This Day” has just been re-released on the Fall issue of Under the Radar Magazine’s CD sampler. “OH NO!” has just been re-released on the Women of Rock compilation CD. “MJR Films and Audra Hardt Music present Women of Rock, a fantastic compilation album featuring acclaimed but relatively undiscovered female fronted rock bands from around the globe and is available on Apple iTunes. Hundreds were called but few were chosen. Each featured artist combines a unique singing _style_ with inspired writing talent that makes this compilation a must have for every serious collector.” STARK’s “18 Again” will be re-released on the Wicked Cool Records compilation CD Goldie’s Garage, Volume 1 thanks to Genya Ravan and her two Sirius Radio shows, Chicks and Broads and Goldie’s Garage.

STARK has an artist endorsement from Daisy Rock. Lani Ford will play solo acoustic again this year for the GoGirlsMusicFest at Otto’s Shrunken Head in NYC November 15, 2008. “Proceeds from each city's event will benefit the United Network for Organ Sharing. There will be information at each show about donation and how to sign up on the registry in that state. Madalyn Sklar created GoGirlsMusicFest, a series of annual showcase events across the United States. UNOS manages the nation's organ transplant system under contract with the federal government and oversees the world's most comprehensive data_base_ of clinical transplant information.”

STARK is writing new material that will be recorded and available soon. For more, check out the official website www.starknyc.com or www.myspace.com/stark.
