Band/artist history
Despite being considered a New York City band, STAR STAR originally formed in Los Angeles. The bands original 1986 Los Angeles line up would break away prior to the debut album. Mid way through recording the "Go Go Girls In Love" album STAR STAR returned to NYC and inducted guitarist Kane Dailey (later replaced by Jay Hening). Although Darcy Drash performed drums on the record Deon Molyneux would take over once the sessions were complete. Signing to the Roadrunner label STAR STAR took a nine month period to record the second album ("The Love Drag Years") with producers Neil Kernon, Earle Mankey and Richard Gottehrer across studios in New York, Los Angeles and New England. In 1996 singer Johnnie Holliday suffered a serious car accident in Greece, undergoing major surgeries the following years. Further major blows were struck when guitarist Jay Henning committed suicide in 1997 and drummer Deon died from cancer two years later. Throughout this dark period Holliday was still undergoing surgical treatment for his injuries. Original STAR STAR members Johnnie & Weeds are now joined by drummer Chris Jones and a pair of background singers simply called "The Trashettes". The new CD "The Rock Trash Au Go Go Show" due out in the Fall of 2006 is a represenation of their whole live show. "We wanted to capture what this band is really like live", explains Johnnie. "Something we never managed to do in the past. The labels always leaned towards making us more clinical than we are live. With these live performances there will have to be a compromise."Contact
