Starjets has been played on NTS in shows including Crossed Wires w/ Amanda Siegel, featured first on 17 July 2020. Songs played include Shiraleo.

Originally formed in Belfast in 1976, they would mix their own songs with well known cover versions, a common thing of the time. The Starjets covered the likes of The Archies "Sugar Sugar" and The Beatles "Please Please Me" in their set and even supported the Bay City Rollers and The Glitter Band before taking the collective decision to relocate to London in November 1977. Gigs in and around London with the likes of the Fabulous Poodles, The Rezillos, The Brakes, The Late Show and The Banned eventually led to a deal with Epic Records. They were dubbed "the Bay City Rollers of Punk!" by teen pop magazines . The summer of '79 saw the band touring the UK with both The Tubes and Stiff Little Fingers. The extra exposure resulted in the "War Stories"/ "Do the Push" single reaching No. 51 in the UK charts.
Their debut LP "God Bless The Starjets", managed to miss the charts even though the band appeared on "Top of the Pops", and recorded Radio Sessions for Kid Jensen and Mike Read. Bowen left the band in 1980 and was replaced by Pat Gribben, The Starjets even changed their name to Tango Brigade for the mid 80's, still unable for their songs to chart the band split by late 1980.

The Starjets reformed in January 2019 and were performing live again until the coronavirus crisis. A new album will come out in 2020.
