Mr. Hillman,
If there isn't an upcoming scenario where we end up body guarding this band and discover all the awful people in Absalom's pop music industry then you've failed us all.
Further more, if the ultimate villain of that scenario isn't a Taylor Swift type Half-Elf who has given her soul over to Aspis then you've failed us twice.
PS Strawberry Machine Cake is a really good name for an all Asian, Manga inspired Nine Inch Nails cover band.

SMC has already made an appearance at once of my Dead Sun's games; the band was spotted dining at an exclusive restaurant in the Parkside district just last evening!
I assume that seeing that attractive Holonet star sitting at the same table as their lead singer was just because they're good friends!

Oh, no. Is there any meaningful difference between Starfinder adventuring parties and paparazzi?

Starfinder Society Season 2: Year of the Holo-Pop Dream, Thursty?
You are swiftly led into Venture Captain Arvin's office where the grim faced Damaya-Lashunta waits by the window.
"Starfinders, I need you to listen carefully because this is the most dangerous, most violent, most critical mission I've ever sent you on. At 0700 Galactic Standard Time, some maniac named "Yeezus" uploaded some sort of black material to the intergalactic web. Two hours later, the Swift Legion declared war upon the Confederacy of Perry and the threat of bloodshed now hangs upon civilized space. I need you to attend a last chance peace conference at a neutral zone established at the VMAs..."

My -701 is a Lashunta Icon Envoy that happens to be a burgeoning pop star working with the Wayfinders to seek out and establish new venues to perform at. She immediately hated SMC. Needless to say she bought their album.
They're just so... so derivative! I had to see for myself! That's all!

Ugh, I know, right?
Their music is just skrub-trash, there's only, like, five bass drops in their entire discography! Why waste time listening to it, when you could listen to real music, like D3dYs0ki or Larude!
Starduststorm! Now there's a song worth fraggin' to!

Judging by the laughter around the tables I've been at (playing and running) I do think that you're in the minority on this. Or, at least, it brings a lot of joy to a lot of people :-)

I'm surprised no one has asked the important question.
What have groups used as background music for when the groups are waiting in line, since part of the "hours long" experience is being forced to listen to this music while waiting for their copy.
Closest thing I could find...

just because of how funny it is.

After sharing this list with some of my friends, they started asking for the brain bleach and asking why I inflicted this upon them.

Scenario Pitch: The frontliner for Stawberry Machine Cake has come into possession of intel crucial to the future of the Starfinder Society, but assassins are after the group! To keep them safe, the PCs must impersonate the band well enough to make it halfway through a concert in order to lure to the assassins into a trap!
I might have just ripped that off from an episode of Scooby Doo, but hey, a good idea's a good idea . . .

They would have gotten away with it, too, if it weren't for you meddling Starfinders!

Charli is tired and grumpy from waiting in line, but she still nimbly avoids the big folk trying to trample her. But then she has the album in hand and all her troubles seem small. Spinning and dancing with the album, she belts out her favorite Strawberry Machine Cake song in front of the crowd.
♫ That’s great! Starts with a twist of fate
The Drift, the Gap, Triune
Tells us, ‘No need to be afraid’
The start of a new dawn, the Gods won’t let on
Where have our memories gone?
Hell with that, where the hell’s Go-lar-i-an?
Speed it up a notch, pawn, grunt, keep on
The shuttle starts to buckle with fear of flight, downsize
Wire in a fire, spin out the Pact Worlds
An alliance made for hire; unspoken conflicts rise
Tangled treaties fall and treaties form
With the Swarm breathing down your neck.
Team by team the Stewards baffled, feeling all alone
Look at that Star Stone! Fine, then.
Uh oh, the Armada grows; the lost generation
Comes in its own. Absalom Station!
Where have our memories gone
Where the hell’s Go-lar-i-an
Tell me with the rapture and the radioactive in the right, right
We’re quixotic, patriotic, slam, fight, bright light
Feeling pretty psyched!
Golarian’s gone and we know it
Golarian’s gone and we know it
Golarian’s gone and we know it
And I feel fine... ♫
