History

The duo met on the film set for Forever Fabulous in Los Angeles in the late 90s. [2] Their first EP was released in 2003 and a self titled full length album in 2005. Their name refers to the Starfish Prime nuclear test from 1962, the largest nuclear detonation in space. [3]

Music style

Test Shot Starfish "is the sound of space, if it had one – at least in this parsec". [4] For example, their song "LC-39A" is inspired by the launch pad of the same name which launched Apollo missions, the Space Shuttle, and Falcon Heavy rockets. [4] Another example is the track "Sputnik" which was named after the first artificial satellite. The song contained samples of news clips and audio from the satellite itself. [4] Their music is also commonly used in SpaceX's YouTube and X livestreams of rocket launches. [5]
