Charlie Kaupp, Elliot Jordan, and Phil Bergeron are Two Star Spark, a San Francisco-based rock band. Drawing influence from a wide range of genres, from indie rock to folk, punk to garage rock, electronica to disco, the band captures a unique sound and delights crowds with danceable, up-tempo numbers about love, despair, envy, rage, car crashes, and earthquakes. The band has two distinct sets depending on the live situation: a plugged-in, hard rocking set for bars and clubs, and a mellower acoustic set for restaurants and private parties.
History:
Two Star Spark formed after the dissolution of iY, a cover band. Charlie Kaupp, the then bassist and half-time singer for iY, started a side project with iY’s backup drummer, Elliot Jordan in order to explore the possibility of writing original music. Because a duo with just bass and drums was not to their liking, Charlie started playing guitar instead of bass. Once the two had established the beginnings of a sound and wrote a few solid songs, they started looking to fill the lineup. After a few trials with guitarists, keyboardists, and bassists, they finally added Phil Bergeron as a full-time bassist.
The band currently lives in and around San Francisco and plays shows all over the bay area.
