BANDS. SHOWS. INK. INDEPENDENCE.
It started with getting our bands on the road.
It became a whole world around them.
FROM THE ROAD01 / WHERE IT STARTED
Before it was an umbrella, Starstruck was a name on a booking conversation.
A little over twenty years ago, David Rutledge started Starstruck Promotions to book tours and shows for Chrome Donuts and Jeremiah’s Grotto. The goal was simple: get the bands out there and let the music meet people.
Booking our own bands grew into putting on local shows. And the work around the music kept growing, too: shirts to print, records to release, and a name people could wear.
Starstruck became a home for all of it.
02 / ONE NAME. FOUR CHAPTERS.
Different ways to support the same thing:
independent music and the people behind it.
Tour and show booking for Chrome Donuts and Jeremiah’s Grotto, growing into putting on local shows.
The original name brought the work of booking the bands together. Local shows became the next part of the story.
Screen-printed band shirts. Another way to put the music out into the world, long after the show was over.
Starstruck Printing brought band merchandise into the family, turning designs into shirts for the scene.
A small independent record label with three bands, giving recorded music its own place under the umbrella.
Stellar Recordings was the label branch of Starstruck: a small roster and a shared independent spirit.
Starstruck-branded shirts. The name that began behind the scenes became something you could wear.
Alongside printing for bands, Starstruck Clothing gave the Starstruck brand its own shirts and identity.
BOOK THE SHOW.
PRINT THE SHIRT.
PUT OUT THE RECORD.

So did the independent spirit.

A home for the history. New services, shows, and releases haven’t been announced.
