A rising star in the Asian-American artistic community, BROWNSTAR merges high-energy comedy, personal memoir, and science fiction to ignite a conversation about the South Asian American community and give a generation its voice and song. BROWNSTAR bursts forth from the pens of poet-performers Pushkar NORTH STAR Sharma and Sathya SOUTH STAR Sridharan, who joined together in 2007. The duo has performed at universities, poetry venues, and fundraisers across the US, and shared the stage with the likes of Def Poets Kelly Tsai and Reggie Cabico, emcees Magnetic North and Taiyo Na, and comedians Hari Kondabolu and Aparna Nancherla. BROWNSTAR produced UNIFICATION, a joint celebration of the Indian and Pakistani Independence Days in Manhattan in August 2009 and will reprise the show in New York in August 2010. In a sky of black and white,
a BROWNSTAR shines bright!

Lyrics to Anything To Make This Last by Jesse Barrera

You pick me up
You turn it up
We roll the windows down
And that’s just enough

You look at me
Sunglasses on
You see any ride with you is never too long

You could be the one that changes
Changes everything
If we got nowhere to go
I won’t ever mind
The second you put your hands on mine

I don’t know care where we go
Just get there
You’ve got my heart locked
And I swear

With my feet on the dash
We can never come back
We can runaway runaway
Anything to make this last

You in my sweater
Can’t get any better
See the way i feel right now
Cant ever be written on a letter
It doesn’t matter
I’m going on a whim
I’m shaking off the butterflies
You got me tangled up in

You could be the one that changes
Changes everything
If we got nowhere to go
I won’t ever mind
The second you put your hands on mine

It’s just a young love
It’s just a young love
