Vintage Har Mar SuperstarThe golden-piped sexy beast known as Har Mar Superstar is getting ready to charm the pants off Seattle on Sunday January 24 at Chop Suey. Har Mar recently released his latest album, Dark Touches, and has been on a hot streak ever since. The album’s addictive lead single, “Tall Boy,” was co-written/co-produced by Greg Kurstin (Kylie Minogue, Britney Spears, Lily Allen), and made waves when it was revealed that it was originally submitted for Britney Spears.
The dance floor jam took on a new life when Har Mar performed it on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon. Then the song’s video brought another tidal wave of Har Mar fever. The futuristic looking clip features Eva Mendes, Eric Wareheim (“Tim & Eric Awesome Show, Great Job!”) and Alia Shawkat (“Arrested Development,” Whip It!):

Like a butterfly emerging from a cocoon, Har Mar Superstar returns this fall with Dark Touches, his first album since 2004’s critically acclaimed The Handler. The new Har Mar retains his defiant sexiness and uncanny knack for irresistible R&B hooks, but fans his colorful wings in the spirit of inclusion.
In addition to his fertile musical career, Har Mar also appeared in the Drew Barrymore film Whip It! and teamed up again with the its leading ladies Alia Shawkat and Ellen Page (Juno, Whip It!) to produce a new HBO hipster mockery titled “Stitch N’ Bitch.”
Har Mar Superstar, along with a final performance by hometown heroes Team Gina, is Sunday January 24, 2010 at Chop Suey on Seattle’s Capitol Hill. Purchase tickets in advance at the Chop Suey Box Office Mon-Fri from Noon-6pm for only a $1 service charge. More info about the event is on Facebook.
