From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

We Are Star Children is an American synth-folk-pop band. Their line-up includes a flame-throwing keytar, an accordion, guitars, tenor banjo, bass, flute, drums, and the Helmetron 3000 ™. They strap their hearts to their sleeves, put their fingers to the music, and ask that you echo their love with nods and rhythmic swings of the pelvis.[1]
