A note from Ken, former maintainer of POPSTAR:

I would like to thank everyone for their support of POPSTAR throughout the years. POPSTAR started out as a way to have independent and unsigned bands get in touch with their fans and it grew beyond my wildest expectations. From a single links page to a promotion company is quite an accomplishment that again would have never been possible without you, the fans. I hope you will all continue to support Stephanie in her quest to make POPSTAR even bigger, but by all means keep in touch! My email will still be popstar@popstar.com. OK, the new page. Popstar LA (www.popstar.net) will be a page concentrating on my home town of Los Angeles. The page features not only band links but resource information on clubs, studio services, web hosting, booking and much, much more. I hope that you will visit the new page and find out whats happening in LA. If you are a band or artist coming to LA, please contact me for bookings or other information. If you are a band/artist in the Los Angeles area and need a web page or a new home, we can help! A personal note of thanks goes out to Stephanie for her dedication to keeping Popstar alive and growing. Thank you all again! I love you all!
