Portland’s STRFKR is a shapeshifting indie dance-pop outfit that has been joyfully bucking convention for more than a decade.
∙ STRFKR began in 2007 as Starf**ker, the solo project of frontman Josh Hodges, who selected the moniker as an ironic response to the idea of pursuing fame at all costs.
∙ “Rawnald Gregory Erickson the Second,” a song from the group’s self-titled 2008 debut, provided their first taste of success when it appeared in a national ad campaign for a big-box retail chain.
∙ The band’s third LP, 2013’s Miracle Mile, made the Billboard 200, and its 2016 follow-up, Being No One, Going Nowhere, hit No. 1 on the Heatseekers Albums chart.
∙ After years of being celebrated for their raucous shows, STRFKR put that energy to tape on 2019’s Live from Brooklyn Steel, the band’s first concert album.
∙ EDM upstart Whethan enlisted STRFKR to guest on “Stay Forever,” a track from his 2020 album, Fantasy.
