@ Newcastle o2 Academy, December 11 2009

Brash tattoos, plenty of eyeliner and a tongue hanging out the corner of your mouth is a standard recipe for any Nu-Metal band.

And Dear Superstar seem to have the lot complete with an almost too cocky lead singer in Micky Satiar. What he may lack in vocal ability is certainly made up for with stage presence as he bounces around stage with maximum charisma. DS put in a solid performance and one that shows they won’t be also-rans forever. Read the rest of this entry »

Hard working, hard gigging quintet Heaven’s Basement headline a three-band bill featuring Global Music’s Dear Superstar and this week’s Kerrang! stars New Device – signed to Classic Rock Magazine’s Powerage label.

“This is a tour we’ve been talking about since ourselves and HB supported Buckcherry a couple of months back,” Dear Superstar frontman Micky Satiar told rushonrock. “The two bands get on great and the tour brings together some of the best new music this country has to offer.” Read the rest of this entry »

@ Newcastle o2 Academy II, September 2 2009

Every so often an incredibly charismatic frontman comes and goes in the fickle world of rock without ever really making the mark his talent deserves.

Jizzy Pearl, akin to Perry Farrell in terms of his on-stage energy and quirky delivery, was always that man. But 20 years on from writing the first chapter of the Love/Hate story, the vibrant vocalist could yet fulfil his immense potential and complete a classic fairytale comeback.

They’re one of the success stories of 2009 and one of British rock’s big hopes for 2010 – Manchester mob Dear Superstar continue to unleash their unique brand of sleaze rock on audiences across Europe with an uncanny zeal.

A combination of hard work and the patronage of US peers Papa Roach and Buckcherry has seen Micky Satiar and his mates confound the critics and carve out a naughty little niche all of their own. Blinding sets at Download and Sonisphere have only served to add to the buzz surrounding DS and frontman Micky is ready for more. Read the rest of this entry »

It’s been a long time coming but in-your-face Brit rockers Dear Superstar are finally planning the follow-up to slow burning hit Heartless after six months of serious progress on the road. We’ve got an exclusive behind-the-scenes studio report coming up this week - plus an interview with frontman Micky.

We’re also catching up with another singer called Michael – Michael Sweet of Stryper after the Christian hair metal legends crashed the Billboard charts with their fantastic new record Murder By Pride. And after a three-week hiatus we can confirm uber columnist Self Made Man will be back on Friday! We promise.

Elsewhere we’ll be in Newcastle on Wednesday watching the progress of Dirty Rock And Roll as they continue to etch their Feeder/Stereophonics/Subways-style rock into the hearts and minds of North East audiences everywhere. It should be good. Read the rest of this entry »

Hard rock heroes Dear Superstar don’t show any sign of slowing down anytime soon after revealing they’re ready to interrupt a summer of non-stop gigging to lay down some new demos!

Yep, the rushonrock faves will head to Tyneside’s Blast! Studios next week after slaying the Sonisphere crowd at Knebworth. And they’ll spend a couple of days working on some of the songs which could make the cut on the follow-up to steady seller Heartless.

“We’re thinking about the new record but we haven’t had time to do much more than that this year,” admitted frontman Micky. “We’ve got a bit of time after Sonisphere and the Buckcherry tour to work on a couple of ideas and we’re already looking forward to coming back to Newcastle.” Read the rest of this entry »
