Starset is a band hailing from Columbus, OH. Dustin Bates formed the band in 2013. Bates has a master’s in electrical engineering, has done research for the US Air Force, and taught at the International Space University. Starset was formed as part of a public outreach initiative by The Starset Society. The Society's aims were to alert the public about the contents of "the Message" the society obtained from a mysterious signal from space.
In the early hours of New Year’s Day 2013, a radio astronomer at the Allen Telescope Array in northern California discovered a mysterious signal emanating from a star within the Ophiuchus Constellation.
Contained within the signal was a Message, of human origin, foretelling the details of man's imminent demise. The Message was brought to The Starset Society, who quickly realized the importance of its immediate publication.
Risking extreme danger, The Starset Society commissioned a group of musicians and scientists to assist them in spreading the knowledge to a broader audience. This group became known simply as STARSET.
Starset will bring the TRANSMISSION of the Message to Bogart’s this Sunday!
