ZIGGY 2000 RETURNS!

Tuesday, April 15, 2003 - Chicago, Illinois - USA - STARDUST * The David Bowie
Tribute Band featuring Ziggy 2000 will perform and host a new showcase 8PM
Saturday, May 17 at The Note 1565 N. Milwaukee Ave. Chicago (773) 489.0011.
Cover charge will be $8.00 and open to 21 and over. This will be the band's
first appearance in Chicago since December 2000 and will premiere its new look
and sound.

Highly recognized around the world and popular among Chicago venues, STARDUST *
The David Bowie Tribute Band is the longest running Bowie tribute production
ever (now celebrating its fifth year). STARDUST highlights Bowie's entire ever
changing musical catalog into one comprehensive revue including selections from
his latest release, Heathen.

Lead vocalist for STARDUST, Lair Scott as Ziggy 2000 (who founded and based the
band in the Wicker Park neighborhood in 1998), relocated to New York City
January 2001 where he freelanced as a florist at Flowers of the World in the
ground floor of the World Trade Center's North Tower. After the towers fell,
Scott suffered from Post-Traumatic Stress, leading him to homelessness and other
unintended exploits all while keeping solo projects of STARDUST going
through-out the country. The Note's booking agents, Ron DeFries and Ed Sanders,
both agree that due to Scott's conquering his past events, that this is
definitely "Ziggy 2000's triumphant return and we're thrilled to have him on our
stage."

STARDUST'S new production includes live interactive dancers, multi-media effects
and added rare acoustic presentations. The Note's showcase will also feature
former STARDUST bandleader, Matt Walters, on 12 string, who now heads the band,
Olde Style. Joining Walters will be STARDUST alumnist, Ruby Harris, on violin
and mandolin, and new band members Brad Stensland on flute and bass, Tris Lucas
on guitars and Zena Isis on percussions. Future STARDUST showcases and tours are
being planned for this summer with talks of Angie Bowie (David Bowie's ex-wife)
joining in.

Original bands joining in the showcase at The Note will be Bizarro from Chicago,
The Atomic Crash from Cleveland, Banana Fudge from Toledo along with Lilith's
Sanctuary Dancers performing with STARDUST.
