"A rock show come circus with more wizards, midgets, Maori warriors and women in tight clothing than you can shake a stick at, [it] begins with [Kristi] hatching from an egg, only to be dragged off by aliens in hotpants..."

"- The thing that I like about progressive rock is the ability to take the listener to another world," says Matt "Starboy" Bowden.

“Drug lord turned muso, Matt Bowden aka Starboy, talks touring around the world, hot chicks and his new album Homecoming.”

“Starboy Induction EP You didn't know party pill advocate Matt Bowden (a.k.a Starboy) was also a musician did you? These four tracks are a mix of low key dance, funk and rock - with trippy effects permeating much of it. I was skeptical prior to hearing it, as it's virtually impossible to separate public figures (like Bowden) from your prior perception of them. There is some good live musicianship though, especially the guitars (Matt's pretty handy with a six string). T'm guessing these tunes are the sound of Starboy coming down from a fair few good nights out. The funky 'Can You Feel It' is my pick.”

“This is top shelf music. Rare in its genre, at times its cell-vibrating, often its rich harmonics and exhilarating precision work, very rare can you be distracted.”
