Editor's note

Bag Raiders, the Perth duo behind Shooting Stars

A bedroom synth project that became an Australian electronic staple.

If you only know "Shooting Stars," try "Way Back Home" next. It's got that same upbeat feel but feels a little more lived-in.

Most people know Bag Raiders from "Shooting Stars," that bright synth track that became a hit in Australia and the UK around 2010. But songs like "Way Back Home" and "Always" show they've kept the melodic electronic thing going long after that first wave. They even worked with The Avalanches on "The Divine Chord" in 2019, which says something about where they fit in the scene.

Jack Glass and Chris Stracey started making tracks with synthesizers and drum machines in Perth around 2006. Their debut album came out in 2010 with "Shooting Stars" on it, then another called "Atlas" in 2014.

Archive material and source history

Bag Raiders started as a bedroom project in Perth around 2006, put together by friends Jack Glass and Chris Stracey. They were working with synthesizers and drum machines, and their early tracks got some attention in local clubs before they started playing live.

Their debut album came out in 2010, and it included the single "Shooting Stars." That song became a hit in Australia and the UK, with its bright synths and upbeat feel. It's still the track most people know them by.

After that, they put out another album called "Atlas" in 2014, and in 2019 they worked with The Avalanches on a track called "The Divine Chord." Other songs like "Way Back Home" and "Always" show the kind of melodic electronic sound they've kept going with.
