COMFORT ZONE: Whenever he's on stage, Devlin Murphy like to kick off his shoes and play music in his socks. "It's something I've always done," he says.

Like hundreds of musicians Valley College student Devlin Murphy, 23, yearns for stardom as a pop music star. And like the others, he's searching for a way to separate himself from the hungry pack of would-be headliners. One way to do that is to perform ... a lot. Last week he and his band, Devlin, played Club Tangier in Los Angeles. This summer, a Japan tour is planned as the opening act for Manabu Oshio-LIV-- one of Japan's hottest rock bands. Plus, a possible deal to open for the Beach Boys is in the works. But before hitting the stage, Devlin has a music theory class to attend and a late-night rehearsal with his band. All leading up to another night under the lights playing rock 'n' roll!
