Blinker the Star
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Blinker the Star is a Canadian indie rock band, originally from Pembroke, Ontario. After their first release, they moved to Montreal. Band leader Jordon Zadorozny is known for having cowritten songs with Courtney Love. Other notable musicians that have appeared on Blinker the Star albums include one of Jordon's childhood heroes Lindsey_Buckingham, Lee Sklar, Ken Andrews, and many others.
On the strength of favourable reviews for their self-titled independent debut in 1993, which featured complex, hard guitar pounding riffs mixed with softer, melancholy based tracks, the band released two albums on major labels in the United States, and was widely promoted as a potential "next big thing" in alternative rock. However, the genre's commercial appeal was already beginning to fade when the band's major label debut, A Bourgeois Kitten, was released in 1996. Consequently, commercial success never materialized for the band, and after being dropped from DreamWorks Records, the band re-emerged in 2003 with Still in Rome.
