Star Star "The Love Drag Years" era

Johnnie Holliday - vocals, guitar.
Weeds - bass.
Jay Hening (RIP) - guitar.
Deon Molyneux (RIP) - drums.

Even though Star Star is considered a New York band, they originally formed in Hollywood.
They signed to the Roadrunner label and took a year to record the "The Love Drag Years".
The big budget project (Roadrunner’s biggest) included producers
Earle Mankey, Richard Gottehrer, Neil Kernon and Phil Greene at six major studios
in New York, Los Angeles and New England.

The album was a mix of Rock n Roll personalities at a champagne cocktail party,
hosted by the Devil himself.
A dark period followed. The singer, Johnnie had a serious car accident
and had to undergo multiple surgeries.
More tragic blows came when guitarist Jay Hening killed himself,
and their drummer Deon got sick and died.

Johnnie and Weeds moved to Europe where they met
drummer Jack Kennedy from hanging out at the clubs.
He joined the band and Star Star became a trio.
To round out their new sound they added two background singers, "The Trashettes".

The band played all over the US and Europe. Headlining smaller venues
and as the sole opening act for bands like Alice Cooper, Joan Jett, Guns n Roses,
and quite a few more.

STAR STAR now present their alter ego SCREAM IDOL.
The debut album "Movie Mary" is a trashy story set to a Sunset Strip beat.

A fresh soundtrack for a new degeneration.

Star Star press and music reviews

Some of the things the Rock n Roll press has said about Star Star...

"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
"Unafraid to forge their own, more dramatic look and raw energetic sound."
RIP MAGAZINE
"Destined to become something 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
"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."
