Vancouver friends, here’s your final reminder of our next show.

The Starling Effect @thestarlingeffect.bsky.social · 31/05/2026

No one? Oh well. We’ll keep it going ourselves. Two members of the Starling Effect were previously in a band called Hinterland, which covered this Lush song: hinterland.bandcamp.com/track/for-lo... #shoegaze #dreampop

The attack on the Death Star in Episode IV is a master class in film editing. It remains breathtaking after almost 50 years.

In case you missed our first show as a trio last month, here are some highlights. We do it again this Friday at the Princeton Pub (that’s in Vancouver).

Vancouver! March 13 at the Princeton! Come say hi.

I feel like in the right context, a depiction of an invading colonizer who has been put in his rightful place is more empowering than racist… but Disneyland is probably not the right context.

The bill has now been filled! But interested bands should still feel free to contact us for future shows.

On this day in 1991, My Bloody Valentine released 'Loveless' and changed the sound of guitars forever. Layers on layers of fuzz, noise, and beauty that launched a thousand shoegaze dreams.

Today’s Song Suggested by @thestarlingeffect.bsky.social Today’s song was suggested by The Starling Effect. It has the vibe of older shoegaze bands like Ride and I kinda like that. The song is available on all streaming services if you want to check them out #MusicSky #Music youtu.be/Ri4eJUoclpM

Hey Vancouver music peeps! The Starling Effect is in need of a new bass player. Ability to do backing (or even lead) vocals is a huge plus, and skill with other instruments would be a nice bonus.

Thanks for featuring us! Glad you dig it.

Posting again because surely there is someone out there…

I always considered Mogwai to be postrock with some shoegaze influences.

This green beauty has been seeing a lot of action behind the scenes at Starling HQ. In fact, this Danelectro baritone is the only guitar John has been playing lately, sparking at least three new embryonic ideas. Of which perhaps one will become a finished song. Such is the way of things.

I’m one of about 10 people in Canada who heard this album and loved it.

He recorded that song for a high-budget promotional video for the U.S. Navy (aka Top Gun) during the presidency of Ronald Reagan. Remember when Reagan increased spending on the military so much it tripled the national debt? Good times. Kenny wasn't complaining then, was he? He was getting paid.

Vancouver music peeps: we'd love to play another show before the year is out, preferably with likeminded bands on the classic alt/shoegaze/'90s indie side of things, but open to other compatible sounds. Any and all offers or leads much appreciated. Reposts also appreciated. #vancouvermusic #shoegaze

We have some new music out, and while you can find it everywhere you stream or download music, the absolute best place to hear it is on our Bandcamp page. We think it's pretty good. Curious to hear what you think. thestarlingeffect.bandcamp.com/album/pile-o...

When bands apply for festivals etc., their social media numbers can make a difference to whether they get selected or not? With that in mind, it would sure mean a lot to us if everyone who reads this would take a moment to follow us on Instagram. www.instagram.com/thestarlinge...

Not opining on what you should or shouldn’t do, but that person seems somewhat unhealthy obsessed.
