Making a Scene Presents Gerry Casey’s Interview with Vic Wayne of Star Collector

Star Collector is a rock & roll band based in Vancouver, BC, known for their high-energy performances and melodic, guitar-driven sound. Over the years, they’ve built a reputation as one of Canada’s hardest-working indie rock bands, touring extensively across Canada, the United States, and Europe.

The group has collaborated with an impressive roster of producers and musicians, including Garth Richardson (Catherine Wheel, Rage Against the Machine), Kevin Kane (The Grapes of Wrath), Evan Foster (The Sonics), Ian Person (The Soundtrack of Our Lives), Jody Porter (Fountains of Wayne), Paul Myers (The Paul & John), and Renee Suchy (The Pursuit of Happiness). These partnerships have helped shape their evolving sound, blending classic rock influences with a modern edge.

Star Collector continues to push forward with infectious hooks, driving rhythms, and a fearless rock spirit. True to their name, the band has a knack for pulling together diverse influences and collaborators to create music that feels both timeless and fresh.

In their long journey, Star Collector has seen a revolving door of rhythm section players — boasting no fewer than 19 bassists along the way — yet the band’s vision and energy have remained consistent. With each release and every tour, they prove that they’re not just survivors of the rock & roll grind, but masters at keeping the fire alive.
