Who the hell is Star Star anyway?
"Neo-serious, neo-punk, neo-glam, neo-fun stuff" GUITAR MAGAZINE "...cut from the same cloth that dressed lots of Ramones and Alice Cooper
sides..." BILLBOARD "Star Star are unafraid to forge their own, more dramatic look and raw
energetic sound." RIP MAGAZINE "Star Star are destined to become something of real importance to the
modern music world performing their brand of glam/R&B rock with punk attitudes." METAL HAMMER "You may never understand how truly hip Star Star really is." CREEM MAGAZINE
"...the band blasts away at rock's currently indestructible wall of sobriety" NEW YORK TIMES "... sickened with grunge? Look no further, Star Star are here to pull
your cracker." KERRANG "Star Star's music shines and whines with a serious sense of bratiness
and na-na-na-na attitude." HIT PARADER
"Draping layers of trash, glitter and gloss around their well dressed decadence." CMJ NEW MUSIC REPORT "Ultimately shiny and fun, uplifting, toungue-in-cheeky and loaded with
soundtracky flamboyance." HARD REPORT "These rockers stand out so conspicuously from the rest of the crowd." CIRCUS MAGAZINE "Glam trappings, punk leanings, and a certain aristocratic decadence." STEREO REVIEW "Star Star has an infectious quality that can't be faked or denied. Let's
just say that you haven't seen anything
like this in a while." FOUNDATIONS "a sound so damn obnoxious-they sound as if they're sticking their toungues
out....a damn good band." EAST COAST ROCKER "Listening to Star Star makes you want to (yes I'll admit it) dance." ROUGH MIX "Very much what you'd call normal, well adjusted rock-n-roll behaviour." ROCK WORLD
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 2008 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."
and a quick note....we understand about wanting to promote your band, event, gigs etc....but, please don't post huge flyers in your comments. Especially if you have nothing to else to say to us. This is a band page for keeping in touch with friends, fans and so on. It's not some forum or bulletin board.
Being however that we do understand, please make a small banner or something to post instead of huge posters...and at least say "hi" :-)
We would appreciate it and we're sure that most of your other myspace friends would too.
