If we were telling the polished and whimsical Reader’s Digest version of alternative-rock-electronica powerhouse Stellar Vector’s rise on the Minneapolis indie scene, it would start with founding members Charles Sadler (vocals, keyboards) and Jonathan Ford (rhythm guitar) playing together for the first time at First Avenue—a venue Prince has played many times and used as a principal locale for Purple Rain. It would include the release of their song “Agoraphobia” on the Electro Punk 2 compilation and then cut to the present, with the band at last releasing their debut full length album A Flock of Cowards after two well received EPs, Not In A Parallel Universe, Either and You’re Not Included. Yet that cleanly written history would leave out the much more fascinating joys and struggles, the highs and lows and ultimate triumphs, of a group whose vibe has truly been the product of a dynamic creative evolution. The five-piece Stellar Vector now describes itself as a “post modern rock band that draws heavily from various neo-prog and post-punk influences (Peter Gabriel, David Bowie, Peter Murphy, Buzzcocks, etc.) and makes heavy use of synthesizers. But in the early 2000s, Sadler and Ford—who met while gigging together at the Fireball in St. Paul when Sadler was with Little Tin Box and Ford was performing as Dissociate--actually started out with a completely different sound as a solo synth-pop project called {space bar}. The original lineup of {space bar} played its first gig in
