Been Stellar, July 8th at Blind Stage! The echo of Scream from New York, NY will resonate through the streets of Istanbul. Been Stellar, a band that translates the raw, brutal reality of New York into sound and isn't afraid to confront the dark heart of modern life, will perform in Istanbul for the first time at Blind Stage on July 8th! With the scratching tones of the guitar, the existential scream of the vocals, and rhythms that pulse with the heartbeat of the city, Been Stellar entered the indie rock scene like a seismic wave with their debut album Scream from New York, NY. Blending the rebellious sounds of Sonic Youth, the intellectual coolness of Interpol, and the fragile emotion of Radiohead, the band embarks on a fragile battle with the city, language, and human relationships. The members of Been Stellar form a five-person crew brought together by their sincere bonds and diverse musical inclinations, from Michigan to NYU. Guitarist Skyler Knapp and vocalist Sam Slocum’s journey, which started in high school, was completed with the addition of guitarist Nando Dale, bassist Nico Brunstein, and drummer Laila Wayans. Though each comes from a different musical background, they created a shared language: noisy, honest, and multi-layered. Recognized as one of the promising representatives of New York's new generation of alternative music, the band redefined their sound during the pandemic, further deepening their musical identity by working with legendary underground producer Dan Carey. Their debut album Scream from New York, NY has received praise not only from listeners but also from prestigious music publications such as NME, DIY, and The Line of Best Fit. This strong start has earned them the opportunity to perform on tours with contemporary post-punk bands like Fontaines D.C. and Shame. The album is a reflection of the inner screams and suppressed emotions reverberating in the city post-pandemic. From the piercing tempo of "Sweet" to the fragile romance of "Pumpkin," Been Stellar promises a destructive yet captivating experience on stage. With music that echoes not only the city but the spirit of today, the band offers an outlet and confrontation. On the evening of July 8th, get ready to catch this striking New York echo at Blind Stage. Been Stellar is not just a concert, but a scream, a moment of existence.
