One day at school, I noticed Henri walking around and thought he looked cool, so I approached him. Jan-Willem Dikkers: Where are you guys from?Īrrow de Wilde: Austin and I knew each other through mutual friends and started jamming. Fresh out of high school (or almost), with only a handful of performances behind them and one single, Starcrawler already commands our attention. Her red-stained mouth, wide eyes and feverish energy make for take-no-prisoners punk-rock theater.
With intense dedication to style, performance and a fanciful streak of madness, this 17-year-old fronts Los Angeles-based band Starcrawler. I am also a cult member of reads Arrow de Wilde’s Twitter bio. De Wilde is in her senior year of high school and lives in Los Angeles. Lead-singer of Starcrawler, Arrow de Wilde is the daughter of rock photographer Autumn de Wilde and Father John Misty drummer Aaron Sperske.
Their debut single “Ants” premiered on Apple’s Beats 1 and was played on Elton John’s “Rocket Hour.” Starcrawler is currently recording their first studio album, produced by Ryan Adams of Whiskeytown. Based in Los Angeles, the band includes members Arrow de Wilde, 17, on lead vocals, Henri Cash, 16, on guitar, Austin Smith, 21, on drums and Tim Franco, 19, on bass. I never know what to say for that answer because I don’t ever think “oh I’m a girl doing this” or “Is this going to be hard because I am a woman?” That doesn’t really cross my mind. How do you feel about that?Īrrow: I thought what she said was really cool. Substream: In a recent interview, Shirley Manson of Garbage said that Starcrawler is changing the status quo in regards to women in rock. I just think you need to put some thought into it. Henri: I think its cool, I mean, that’s how people found out about us. Substream: How do you feel about music being so accessible? Substream: What is one thing you would change about the music industry?Īustin: There is a lack of authenticity with modern music and it’s not to call out modern artists but is being made for the sake of just making entertainment and not for the sake of having something to say. Tim: Everyone thinks we do a lot of drugs.Īustin: It’s our fast metabolisms I guess.
#ARROW DE WILDE MOVIE#
Henri: I’ve had three people come up to me today and tell me that I’m in that movie Call Me by Your Name. Substream: What’s the weirdest thing you’ve heard about yourself?Īrrow: A lot of people say I have this disease called Marfan where a lot of people look like me which is tall and skinny. Henri: Everything is a part of the art and you can’t leave that up to other people that don’t understand.Īrrow: We obviously can’t do it all ourselves so we bring in other people we trust. I trust barely anyone with aesthetics stuff. Did you guys have a hand in that?Īrrow: Yeah. Substream: The cover art for the album is one of my favorites. Henri: Yeah there were a lot of errors but they were good errors. Substream: Recording to analog leaves a lot of room for error so did you face any challenges with that recording process? He’s a cool guy and we recorded it live to tape which people don’t do anymore. Substream: So Starcrawler released your self-titled debut album earlier this year which was produced by Ryan Adams. He was only supposed to play a couple shows and now he’s permanent. Then I met Henri at school so the three of us started playing and then I called my friend Tim to play bass. It was just us jamming and we really didn’t know what to do because we didn’t have anyone else to play with that we really liked. Substream was able to sit down with the band after their set at Voodoo to discuss the new album, working with Ryan Adams and the state of the music industry.Īrrow: Me and Austin started it first. In just three short years, singer Arrow De Wilde, guitarist Henri Cash, Bassist Tim Franco and drummer Austin Smith have gone from playing small Cali bars to huge festivals like Reading Festival, CalJam and most recently Voodoo Fest in New Orleans. based rockers Starcrawler to new heights. A “no fucks given” attitude accompanied by an in-your-face stage presence complete with good old fashioned punk rock blood spitting is propelling L.A.
