Audience
From the past five shows I've seen Stars perform at and through
Twitter-based activity, I've noticed the majority of Stars'
audience seems to be made up of a young to middle-aged adult
audience. I think Stars acknowledges this, as they interact with
some fans via Twitter and they are usually adults.
Favourite Lyrics
This scar is a fleck on my porcelain skin, tried to reach deep
but you couldn't get in. - Your Ex-lover is Dead (Set Yourself on
Fire 2004) This was the first song I ever heard by Stars, and since
then I've been hooked. These lyrics were so meaningful to me that I
got them tattooed down my thigh. In November 2012 on my birthday I
went to see Stars, and as I was leaving the show I saw Torquil
standing outside the venue. I was too embarrassed to say hello, but
my boyfriend dragged me over anyways, and I told him how much his
music meant to me, and he was very grateful and kind. I rolled up
my leggings to show him my tattoo and got a picture with him. Hands
down, the best birthday of my life.
Stars engages with their fans via twitter, when I first signed
up for twitter, I linked them to a picture of my tattoo, they
responded saying We love your love. Stars retweets and sometimes
replies to fans, especially before or after a show.
