The band still features the same line-up that released their first single on Sony Music NZ, What You Do (Bastard), nearly twenty years ago in 1998. That’s Boh Runga(vocals, guitar), Andrew Maclaren (drums, programming), Kurt Shanks (bass) and Chris van de Geer(guitar).
“We had a ball putting together our version of Maxine for the awards, and we’ve been blown away by everyone’s feedback," says Boh Runga of their VNZMA tribute performance for Sharon O'Neill. "We’re going to keep the fun rolling this summer with a short burst of dates. Can't wait to play to everyone again."
Outside of their Auckland and Wellington show dates, the band are booked to play three festivals around the country this summer:
Sat 6th Jan - Out Of The Blue, Nelson

Stellar* first burst on the scene with five radio hits in 18 months - Violent, What You Do (Bastard), Undone, Every Girl, and Part of Me - all reflecting the unique blend of rock and electronica on 1999's Mix album.
Their reputation as innovative hit makers was embedded with All It Takes, Taken and Star off 2001's Magic Line album, and For A While (feat. Andy Lovegrove) and Whiplash off 2006's Something Like Strangers, their third and final studio album.They became Sony Music NZ's highest selling Kiwi band, collecting eight NZ Music Awards along the way. All three albums charted within the top 10 of the NZ Album Chart, securing their status as a classic mainstay in the New Zealand music scene. In October 2010, Stellar* released an 18-track Best Of album, featuring a new single, So Alive.
