THE RISE OF LUSCIOUS JACKSON

Named after a former basketball player and formed in 1991, Luscious Jackson was originally a quartet consisting of former Beastie Boys drummer Kate Schellenbach,  Jill Cunniff,  Vivian  Trimble and Gabby Glaser.  Vivian Trimble left before the recording of Electric Honey and briefly made the group a trio, though the group broke up soon afterwerds.








Jill Cunniff and Vivian Trimble formed a side project band that only released one album.  The temporary duet was named the Kostars and their only album was Klassics With A "K


Former Shiny Toy Guns lead singer Sisely Treasure joined with Jill Cunniff to create a temporary duet that broke up after only one album Punk Debuutante.
Jill Cunniff also recorded a solo album.
Gabby Glaser recorded a solo album too.
Josephine Wiggs collaborated with former Beastie Boys Drummer and Luscious Jackson's drummer Kate Schellenbach on two albums. The first of two albums, the Kim's We Love is an homage to both Kim Deal and Kim Gordon. 







 
Josephine Wiggs joined forces with Luscious Jackson again with three out of four members of the group, Kate Schellenbach, Jill Cunniff and Vivian Trimble on what amounts to a Luscious Jackson album without Gabby Glaser. The collaboration of Josephine Wiggs along with Kate Schellenbach, Jill Cunniff and Vivian Trimble resulted in a band called Dusty Trails.  Dusty Trails broke up after only one album.
