[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 Cordon, Patrick (Patch) Hannan of The Sundays and Warren Huart. Their first two EPs were recorded in Patch's recording studio, Blah Street in 1996 and released by Organic Records. Julie wanted to move back to L.A., but Patch's position as drummer for The Sundays meant he had to record the album Static and Silence. So he stayed while the rest relocated and picked up Johnny Haro from Freak of Nature (band) 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 lukewarm response, and the band broke up soon after.
Warren Huart then joined Disappointment Incorporated who released an album in 1999 on Time Bomb Recordings. He has since become a record producer and musician, and wrote the score to the 2004 documentary film following Joe Strummer 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.
