Band Biography
In 2005 Simon picked up the song writing he had left behind him a few years earlier. He played the songs he had written for some of his friends who encouraged him to continue writing. As he felt somewhat lonely as a singer/songwriter he started to scout for a band. The first, and most natural, choice was his old friend Martin who he had played with before in different constellations. Simon, formerly being a drummer had some difficulties finding a drummer for the new band. Walking home one night after being refused from the theatres ticket office he walked past a house in the centre of Vasa from where he heard some good rhythms.

It turned out Toni was renting a rehearsal local and was practicing at just that moment. With some hesitation Simon knocked at the door, introduced himself and found that he had encountered a drummer of his taste. A few nights later Toni played a gig with a band called Pulu at a club in town. After the show Simon was convinced and invited Toni into the band.

Due to geographical issues Simon and Matias hadn’t spoken in years, but they had know each other since they were about ten years old. In the fall of 2005 Matias moved up to Vasa to study. Simon then first met Matias in a queue to one of the local bars and asked him if would be interested in playing the bass in a new band. After that The February Stars was formed.

As for now, The February Stars are playing gigs, doing promo work and working on finishing their fortcoming EP, containing four recently recorded songs.
