Biography

Godstar had been the main focus for Nic Dalton's songwriting, touring & recording since 1992, following the dissolution of the much loved Plunderers, & in between commitments to the Lemonheads, which took up a lot of time from 1992 to 1994.

John EHaving featured an ever-changing line-up for most of its existence, Godstar released two studio albums in "Sleeper" (1993) & "Coastal" (1995) as well as a bunch of great 7" singles. Inspired in equal parts by the Modern Lovers, Buffalo Springfield, power-pop and Philly soul, the band won eight fans from all over the world with their alluring melody lines & straight-from-the-heart lyrical content. And without sounding the slightest bit retro!

TaniaFrom late 1996 Nic Dalton decided to no longer record under the Godstar moniker, with the final release from the band being the "September" compilation in March 1997. Nic is currently concentrating on Sneeze (with Tom Morgan from Smudge).  Other recent projects have included Kombi Nation, 51 Monday, and Erbs N Pieces.  Godstar may play and record again...
