We are super excited about the fact that we have a new single coming out on September 19 via our label, Submerged Records.

New music from the Starling Effect is coming on September 19
The songs are called "Pile of Ash" and "Memory Palace", and if you have seen us perform live in the past year or so you will definitely have heard at least one of them.
Up next: The Painted Ship on August 16
Wiggedout Music presents the Starling Effect at the Painted Ship (2884 West Broadway, Vancouver, BC) on Saturday, August 16, with guests Shimbashi Station and Thomas Van Alstine. We're pretty excited about this one for a couple of reasons. The first is that we played at the Painted Ship last September and really enjoyed it. The … Continue reading Up next: The Painted Ship on August 16
Come see us at the Fox Cabaret!
We are super excited about this one. We have been wanting to play at the Fox for a long time, and we will finally get the chance on July 18, thanks to Star Collector. Pretty cool that the Bad Beats are also on the bill. Get there early, because we're up first, at 7:30 p.m. … Continue reading Come see us at the Fox Cabaret!
Catch us live this Friday! (and also next month)
(Originally posted on John's personal blog.) It’s been a relatively quiet start to the New Year for the Starling Effect, but we’re gearing up for a couple of shows that I want to tell you about. Because it’s exciting. For me. (Your mileage may vary.) On March 21, we return to our old stomping grounds, … Continue reading Catch us live this Friday! (and also next month)
Update on upcoming live shows
We regret to announce that due to circumstances outside of our control, our show at KW Studios (originally slated for January 10) will no longer be happening. However! We do have a couple of other shows upcoming... On March 21, we will return to the Princeton Pub for a gig with China Syndrome and Moonfoil. … Continue reading Update on upcoming live shows
Our first show of 2025
Well, we're pretty excited about this one! It's a venue we've never played before. KW Studios is at 111 West Hastings, in the Woodward's Building, which has a long and storied history. (And also a big rotating W atop a replica of the Eiffel Tower, which makes it hard to miss.) Truth be told, we … Continue reading Our first show of 2025
We’re at it again: come see us live at the Princeton
We'll keep this short (and possibly sweet). We're playing at the Princeton Pub on November 15 with fellow Vancouver rock bands Hot Spell and Woke Up Wasted. We will be the band least likely to pull out a Deep Purple cover. (This is not a joke; I saw Hot Spell do a killer version of … Continue reading We’re at it again: come see us live at the Princeton
Our next show: September 7 at the Painted Ship
Summer's not over yet! But we can help ease you into fall with our music—which, let's face it, is pretty autumnal for the most part. On September 7, we’ll be playing at the Painted Ship in Kitsilano. For those who aren't schooled on Vancouver's pop-culture history, Kitsilano (a.k.a. Khatsahlano or "Kits") was the epicentre of … Continue reading Our next show: September 7 at the Painted Ship
Return to the Roxy
We don't play live that often, usually only around three or four times a year. So, if you want to see us, you need to jump at the chance when you can. (I realize that's a mighty big "if".) On July 18, we'll be playing at the fabulous (some would say notorious) Roxy on Granville … Continue reading Return to the Roxy
