England's Dark Star was formed by trey former members of Levitation -- vocaliser and guitarist Christian Hayes, bassist Laurence O'Keefe (the Hope Blister), and drummer Dave Francolini. Like their former band (simply manifestly without guitarist Terry Bickers), the group's sound features thick, complex structures and needling guitars. The threesome debuted with the Graceadelica single in late 1998 and followed that with another single, I Am the Sun, in March of the undermentioned year. The LP Twenty Twenty Sound appeared a month afterward and was by and large reviewed positively, just failed to do practically commercially. A one-third single, About 3AM, supported the LP, as did a series of multi-format and remix singles. The band underwent a hectic touring agenda, including a stint curtain raising for the Longpigs.
