After captivating audiences during their visit for the St Jerome's Laneway Festival, stellar Canadian quintet STARS announce a Melbourne date to their Australian tour this summer in support of the release of a new EP which features all new songs, hot off the press from Studio Plateau in the band's hometown of Montreal, Quebec.

Stars introduce Sad Robots on 1 September exclusively through www.sadrobots.ca. A free and all new live version of the track 'Going, Going, Gone', a fan favorite from the band's first LP, Nightsongs, will also be available exclusively from the website via MP3 beginning that date.

Still in the throes of their theatre-as-life aesthetic and continuing to explore the art of a guarded romance, Stars will unveil the beauty and tragedy of Sad Robots with an all new live show, while they perform songs from all four full-lengths, including the widely acclaimed In Our Bedroom After The War (featuring last summer's favourite 'Take Me To The Riot').
