Here is the Page 3 feature article from the NY Daily News, Sunday January 29, 2006. Correction: Jonesy is actually the guitar player in question...STARK was featured on Fox 5, NYC on March 2, 2006.STARK is a New York City rock trio with old school roots and original tunes! They make purgatory fun by sleazing up the NYC rock scene embracing their bad luck and traumatizing people everywhere they go! The party band…with feelings. STARK calls it Punk-try!Lani Ford--vocals, bass, main songwriter of STARK-- 3 time ASCAP Plus Songwriter Award winner. Slinging poetic hillbilly angst dipped in sleazy underground NYC rock. Lani has played for The Bicycle Dogs, The Blind Pharaohs, The Heather Larkin Band, The Wood Nymphs, Killer Pang (and other Pang projects), Sweet Ami, W/Dylan, and The Love Pirates. She's also toured as back-up singer for TEMPTRESS. Born in Ft. Worth, Texas, Lani played bass for years before teaching herself how to play guitar enough to sing her songs at open mics.Sweet Rob Endemann--drums and backing vocals The powerhouse drummer with the big smile! Rob's been seen with Dealer, Kill The Camera, The Baghdaddios and more.Sonic Joe Hogan--guitar/engineer/co-producer Dude! Whoa! The definition of shred! Lani Ford (of Fox 5 traffic reporter and WPLJ DJ notoriety…and yes, that's the girl you met at the bar—maybe behind it or leaning on it) is one of those girls who guys want to take home after the gig, but they're afraid she'll write a song about them. She doesn't mind perpetuating that. She also loves to give the other girls in the room a platform to let their wild sides reign free. That alone makes STARK compelling to watch. What makes them a great band is that the songs are songs, the guitar rocks and the lyrics are more than interesting. Lani laughs, cries, hollers, wiggles, writhes, smokes, drinks, passes out sweets, all the while rocking her P-Bass and singing her ass off. Then, you've got the Hogan wailing on his Les Paul, with his wild hair flowing and his crazy-man dance/jump/wail combo. He supports Lani, antagonizes her, leads her deeper into her frenzy while playing kick-ass guitar leads that make your jaw drop. In the meantime, Sweet Rob Endemann is rocking out the drums with a big smile and a solid stare, like he just might barrel over the drum set and start dancing or beating on the heads of the sweaty, sexed-up, drunken, stoned audience. Well, yes, there was the topless incident at Piano's, the smoking fiasco at Grand Central Bar, beer poured on body at Lucky Cheng's, the Boston brawl at 169 Bar and the shattered bottle as Pyramid, but all in all STARK's rowdiness is nothing compared to the in-your-face rock and roll the band pours out of it's soul at every show for every audience member every time! The sparse arrangements and honest lyrics will make you laugh, cry, dance, drink and get nasty. Influenced by blues, country, punk and metal, STARK can't be labeled as easily as most, but they play straight-up rock and roll, mostly described as Pretenders meets Patti Smith…or if X and The Stooges had babies. More modern references include The Kills, The Distillers, Courtney Love and The Breeders.Not of woman borne, STARK blasted onto the NYC scene in 2003, Before that, Lani Ford (lead vocalist, bassist and songwriter of STARK), with original members Dylan Grewen and Greg Schiff, spent a year and a half kicking around together at open mics and playing together in a couple of other bands. In 2004, the band recorded its debut CD "The Curse", instantly making fans out of big players in the NYC rock and roll scene and beyond from Patti Rothberg to Handsome Dick Manitoba with the music they call Punk-try. STARK then played the NYC club scene for 5 years with various line-ups but Lani always out front, busting up the norm and lifting hearts everywhere with her dirty, intelligent, harsh, honest, and funny lyrics and huge voice.With a growing support base, international press and airplay, and sheer determination, Lani has teamed up with Sonic Joe Hogan and Sweet Rob Endemann to start kicking some ass world-wide.STARK just released their sophomore record "Put It To Your Head" in January 2008. The Hogan engineered/co-produced and Josette played guitar. Lani and Rob are the rhythm section with backing vocal help from Rob and Pam the Metal Queen Grande. "Put It To Your Head" is harder, more punked out, and has fun, dark, groove-based songs that will blow your dress up!DISCOGRAPHY:"Put It To Your Head", Released January 26, 2008 Tracks with airplay: 18 Again, OH NO!, R-D-R, Disturbed, Nothing's Wrong, I Pay, Co-Dependent"The Curse" LP, released May 15, 2004 Tracks with airplay: Cryin' In The Mornin', Somewhere, White Trash Rock & Roll Diva, Summer Girl, Look at Me, Beautiful Mistake, Slut, The One"The Morgue The Merrier", LP, Poptown Records (2005) Compilation CD of New York City Bands--featuring STARK’s song "Slut""Live at CMJ", EP, limited release 2005"Lani Ford Acoustic Live", EP, limited release 2006FILM:STARK's song "Cryin' in the Mornin'" has been released in the independent feature film "Fillbilly"(2007) Lani Ford co-wrote a song featured in the horror film "Zombie Cult Massacre" (1998)TV:WNYW, Fox 5-TV (New York City) Kitchen Nightmares/FOX (Josette) Manny In Manhattan (NYC, MNN Ch. 57) Be Yourself As Well As Art (MNN, NYC) Mark After Dark (NY) Mango TV (NY) Vidocity (NY) Indigo TV (NY) ILR (Australia)RADIO:Total Rock FM (London, UK) Sirius Radio (Chicks and Broads with Genya Ravan on Underground Garage) Sirius Radio (Jim Breuer show on Raw Dog) Sirius Radio (Goldie's Garage with Genya Ravan on Underground Garage) WUSB 90.1FM (Long Island, NY) WBAB's Homegrown show with Fingers (Long Island, NY) The Drop Zone/KTWL-FM (Houston, Texas) WGBB (Long Island, NY) ISON LIVE RADIO (ILR), Australia WXPK (Westchester, NY) WDTS in Georgetown, DE (CMJ/Top 30) WRPI in Troy, NY (CMJ/Loud Rock report) College/non-commercial radio: Cuts from "The Curse" can be heard on over 50 stations throughout the U.S., Canada, Europe, Japan and Australia**STARK has also been receiving college radio airplay on:WHRB in Cambridge, MA WFWM in Frostburg, MD WUNH in Durham, NH WDCR in Hanover, NH WCDB in Albany, NY WITR in Rochester, NY CHRW in London, Ontario WKDU in Philadelphia, PA WUSR in Scranton, PA WMSS in Middletown, PA WRKC in Wilkes-Barre, PA WCHL in Wilkes-Barre, PA; CKUT in Montreal, Quebec WRIU in Kingston, RI WDTS in Georgetown, DE (reported CMJ/Top 30) WVUD in Newark, DE WMHB in Waterville, ME WMPG in Portland, ME WNTI in Hackettstown, NJ WARY in Valhalla, NY WNYU in New York City WSIA in Staten Island, NYC WUSB in Stony Brook, NY CKCU in Ottowa WESU in Middletown, CT WPKN in Bridgeport, CT WXAC in Reading, PA WWUH in West Hartford, CT WMFO in Boston, MA WTCC in Springfield, MA WKDT in West Point, NY WRPI in Troy, NY (reported to CMJ/Loud Rock report) WRUV in Burlington, VT WHUS in Storrs, CT WMUA in Amherst, MA WSMU in Dartmouth, MA WERU in E.
