Starship: A Musical Journey from Jefferson Starship
From Humble Roots to Chart-topping Success
Starship, an American rock band originally hailing from San Francisco, California, emerged as an extension of Jefferson Starship. The band's musical direction shifted significantly, leading to a new era characterized by a more mainstream sound.
A Change in Musical Direction
Once Jefferson Starship members Paul Kantner and David Freiberg departed, the band underwent a significant transformation. The remaining members, led by Mickey Thomas, embraced a more accessible and commercial rock sound. This strategic shift paved the way for their immense success in the 1980s.
