[edit] History

Star 69 started out in London, England, after recent immigrant Julie Daniels placed an ad in Melody Maker for musicians to form a band. It was responded to by Richard Gordon, Patrick (Patch) Hannan and Warren Huart. Their first two EPs were recorded in Patch's recording studio, Blah Street in 1996 and released by Radioactive Records. Julie wanted to move back to L.A., but Patch wasn't interested so he stayed while the rest relocated and picked up Jimmy Haro to take Patch's position on drums.

Their full length album, Eating February, was released by MCA Records in the US and Radioactive Records in the UK in February, 1997. It received a relatively luke-warm response, and the band broke up soon after.

Warren Huart then joined Disappointment Incorporated, and has since become a record producer and musician, and wrote the score to the 2004 movie Let's Rock Again![2]

Julie contributed a single "You Should Know" for disc 2 of the compilation album Acoustic Vol 1, released in February 2002, and has also moved back to the UK with her husband.
