Stella is a band from Hamburg founded in 1995 . Stella's style is a mix of pop and rock with electronic stylistic elements. It is referred to as one of the successor bands of the Hamburg School .
In 1997, Stella became known to a wider public with the song Ok, Tomorrow I'll Be Perfect . On February 2, 1998, the band's first album, Extralife , followed, on which Schorsch Cameroon was a guest musician. On the second album, Finger on the Trigger for the Years to Come , it was Dirk von Lowtzow of the band Tocotronic . The cover image of Better Days Sounds Great , the third album, is a re-enactment of the record sleeve photo of the most famous Fleetwood Mac album Rumors , from which the cover version Dreams comes. On their fourth album, entitled Fukui , the almost entirely Japanese lyrics are accompanied by electronic music that was recorded by hand (“No midi, no sequencing, no computer” is highlighted in the booklet).
All band members are particularly involved in the Hamburg music scene as musicians and producers in various other bands.
