Led by Rob Fleming (vocals, guitar, synths) and James Sedge (drums), UK band, KillerStar, also features an array of David Bowie’s most trusted collaborators. They make their U.S. concert debut on Saturday, November 2 at the Cutting Room in NYC, joined by Dom Beken (Nick Mason‘s Saucerful of Secrets), saxophonist Andy Snitzer, plus Ulrika Bergelind and Nicki Richards on backing vocals. The band have shared a sizzler reel for the upcoming performance. Check it out with more information below.
Rob Fleming says, “We’re excited to be playing our first KillerStar USA live show in NYC. Whilst it’s a first for KillerStar, it’s a city where some of the band live and many of them have gigged before, like the David Bowie band alumni Mike Garson, Mark Plati, and Gerry Leonard, plus, Dom Beken with Nick Mason’s Saucerful of Secrets and of course New York locals Nicki Richards and Andy Snitzer. NYC is such a vibrant city with an amazing musical legacy, and we can’t wait to play the Cutting Room on Nov 2.”
KillerStar released their self-titled debut album on March 1, 2024, receiving critical acclaim. They followed it with a headlining packed-out album launch show (March 16) at London’s 100 Club. Almost one year later on March 8, 2025, they will return to The 100 Club and musicians joining Fleming and Sedge are Mike Garson, Mark Plati, Dom Beken, Kevin Armstrong, Ulrika Bergelind with guest Simon Bates.
Last month, the band rolled out the video for a new version of the track “Falling Through” from their upcoming KillerStar Reimagined album, due out October 11 on vinyl and digitally. “The songs on the album are a mix of quite radical new versions of the original album and remixes, for which Mark Plati did much of the production work,” says band co-founder Rob Fleming.

KillerStar express timeless ‘70s musicianship and art-rock invention through a contemporary prism, highlighted by the singles “Got Me All Wrong,” “Falling Through,” You’re A Chameleon” and “Should’ve Known Better.” The band was formed by Fleming and Sedge to capture a sound that they felt was missing: one that linked the current resurgence of psychedelia, the contemporary indie and alternative scenes, and the primal rush of early ‘70s rock ‘n’ roll. With songs exuding gritty rock ‘n’ roll and time-honoured glamour, the record was full written and arranged by Rob and James before being completed by some suitably top tier collaborators. Mixing was provided by Dave Eringa, best known for his long-term creative connection with Manic Street Preachers, while digital mastering was provided by Joe La Porta and vinyl mastered by Miles Showell at Abbey Road. The album is available on limited edition 180-gram gold vinyl, black vinyl, CD and digital formats, here: https://bio.to/KillerStar
