In a world where Ziggy Stardust writes songs for Marilyn Manson, and the Ramones are a Lady Gaga cover band,
Star Star would definitely get a few gigs.
Despite being considered a New York band Star Star originally formed in Los Angeles.
They quickly signed to the Roadrunner label, then took almost a year to record the "The Love Drag Years" in NY and LA.
A period followed where singer/guitarist Johnnie Holliday was in a car accident, and had a bunch of surgeries done.
A few months later guitar player Jay Hening committed suicide, and drummer Deon got sick and died.
Johnnie recovered… and with Weeds and new drummer Jack Kennedy, Star Star went back to their coveted underground scene.
Even during high profile shows with Alice Cooper, Guns n Roses, Girlschool, Marky Ramone, Joan Jett and more, the band stayed true to their club culture and their “trash values with no apologies”…. as the NY Times wrote.
2021 finds Star Star with 12 new singles and videos ready to go.
The band’s experience and alternative culture is obvious in their fresh songwriting style and modern production sensibilities.
