Fans of Team StarKid know Corey Lubowich as the backbone of the company – in every aspect, from producing t-shirts to designing sets to managing a tour bus, Corey’s there, keeping the wild ride that is StarKid Productions firmly on the tracks. Amidst all this, somehow he found the time to create his own original web-series, starring many of his StarKid buds, and in this exclusive interview we talk about his new show as well as his history with StarKid and his experiences on the road.
You might know your Joey Richters from your Joe Walkers, but many more people fall under the mantle of Team StarKid. We spoke to the uber-talented Clark Baxtresser, who, along with writing for his own band TalkFine, has been playing music for Team StarKid since early 2010. With the SPACE Tour came the new title of music director and the task of taking a bunch of musical theater geeks and turning them into rockstars.
Yesterday we reported the Billboard success of Team StarKid’s live concert album, The Space Tour. Unsurprisingly, it looks like the tour’s DVD, which features the entire Gramercy Theatre SPACE show performance as well as behind-the-scenes footage from the whole tour, is set to become an absolute must-have for fans.
On March 13, Team StarKid released The SPACE Tour, a live album recording of their Nov. 27 show at the Gramercy Theatre in New York—the final stop of their concert tour. In the days following its release, SPACE charted very well on iTunes, hitting #4 on the Pop charts, #25 overall and high rankings internationally. And today, the album made its Billboard debut.
