Cellophane Masses combine a progressive mix of rock guitars and electronica along with distinctive vocals and strong songwriting to create an innovative sound. Every live show is different with various visual and performance artists on and off stage for an interesting and stimulating show. Cellophane Masses have opened up shows for Love and Rockets, Buckethead, Miles Hunt (formerly of the Wonderstuff), Michael Ferentino (Love in Reverse) and Pistol (formerly of Consolidated).

Several songs have been featured on MTV’s Road Rules, Extreme Challenge, Making the Video and have recently been asked to use a song as the theme song for an upcoming show on MTV2 called “The Table”. The Cellophane Masses songs “Get Up” and “Say” were included on the “Electro Organic Vol 1” compilation released nationally through Navarre Distribution in July of 2001 and had been favored by many CMJ stations across the nation.

Cellophane Masses singer/songwriter David Wayne Starfire started Cellophane Masses in 1998 and included bassist Koa Stephens and drummer Lliam Hart and played many shows in the San Francisco area. The EP "Suicide Love Songs" was released the in fall of 2000 and was received well by press, fans and record labels. The band recorded tracks for their full length CD “Senses of Seven” in fall of 2001 and soon after Koa parted ways with the band. After finishing the final touches of the CD in summer of 2002, Alan P (David Wayne Starfire’s brother) became the new bass player and are currently shopping to major labels and performing live.

Back in the early 90’s, David’s had emerged out of the Dallas Deep Ellum music scene and was a member of “Lesson Seven” (touring support act for NIN, Skinny Puppy and local support for Ministry and Revco and many others). As a member of Lesson Seven, they gained a national following with a top 20 club single “Radiation”. David also collaborated with Information Society (in Lesson Seven) on the song “And the” and with MC 900 Foot Jesus and Jon Birdsong (Beck) in the side project “Audio Assault”. For a change of pace, David had a solo acoustic career opening up for such notables as Vertical Horizon, The Tragically Hip, Sophie B. Hawkins, Rhett Miller and several others. David’s manager at the time was Shaun Edwardes (Juliee Cruise, David Lynch soundtracks). David then collaborated with Jonathan Lacy, formerly of The Beautiful (Giant records, produced by John Fryer-NIN, Stabbing Westward, Love and Rockets). After the demise of that project, David was offered the guitarist position for Stabbing Westward but turned down the offer because of major label interest in his band at the time, Super Secret Weapon (support act for Filter, the Hunger), which featured bassist and friend Koa Stephens (Black Dahlia, SubArachnoid Space). Even with major label interests, the band broke up due to musical differences and David and Koa moved to San Francisco in 1997 and continued playing together and formed Cellophane Masses. Drummer Lliam Hart (formerly with American Music Club and Wire Train-touring support act for the band LIVE) was soon added to the band’s visual and powerful show.
