The 1992 gutters of several streets in the San Francisco Bay Area gave birth to Lipstick Addiction. Veterans of the local rock scene, the members of Lipstick Addiction joined forces to create the musical backdrop for the chaotic environment that surrounded them and derived their sound from whatever they understood around them. Sometimes raw, often uncontrolled, and always full of energy and pandemonium, Lipstick Addiction marked their territory with their music. Shortly after the band’s formation, representatives of music industry specialists Thigh High Productions felt after seeing the band that Lipstick Addiction's magnetic music, catchy hooks, and visual performance appeal was an undeniably perfect fit for music industry showcases introducing new American music to audiences in England, France, Belgium, Germany, Amsterdam and Sweden. After returning to their local roots, Lipstick Addiction refocused their energy and retargeted their collective aggression on the SF Bay Area music scene. During this period, the band became notorious for their unwillingness to adapt to the politics of certain local club owners by refusing to "pay to play" as was the practice at that time around the San Francisco Bay Area, and proceeded to expose these tactics to music industry media and the general public. These actions both angered local club owners and brought Lipstick Addiction closer to their fans. After a handful of performances, the forces that powered Lipstick Addiction gradually shifted from an explosive element that gave Lipstick Addiction an advantageous edge to an implosive element that ushered in a destructive period for the band. During their final recording sessions, continued downward pressure eventually caused Lipstick Addiction to collapse. Even with the momentum of having Out Go The Lights considered for use in the movie adaptation of Anne Rice's Interview With The Vampire, the band was still unable to capitalize on their potential. In 1994, parting ways with their management resulted in the remaining members of Lipstick Addiction embroiled in a bitter dispute with Thigh High Productions over promotional material, ownership of their recordings and publishing rights to their music. Drained and confused by the flip side of the music industry and essentially starting from scratch without the material familiar to the band and their fans, the final members of Lipstick Addiction proved unable to regain control of their own existence and retreated in different directions resulting in a premature demise for the band. In 2008, new life was breathed into the band, with a few private reunion shows followed by the band heading into the studio to start preproduction of recording new material. On January 31, 2009 co-founder and guitarist Stacy Burns passed away suddenly. Committed to their fans, Lipstick Addiction has vowed to press on into, as always, an unpredictable future.
