The Junkie Superstars 1995 The Junkie Superstars started out as a Hollywood side project, something to do for fun. It started with some members of Tragedy, Never On Sunday, & Never On Sunday w/ Roxy Saint with the Friends and Family that surrounded these bands. The first show was booked as The Suicidal Whores from Outer Space, by the time the second show rolled around the name was solidified as the Junkie Superstars. These recordings are kind of an ode to the end of the Hollywood that we all knew. Tragedy and Never On Sunday had broken up. Tragedy singer Jamie Shane had moved to Vegas and joined Bangkok Shocks, this band would also break up and Jamie would return with guitarist Rachel Christopher. By this time Drugs, Drinking, and the changing musical climate brought about by the Northwest Grunge scene, was splintering to pieces a close knit Hollywood scene. Jamie, Rachel and drummer Trash would hole up in the house on Formosa, and record with friends, to make what would be the Junkie Superstars recordings. With over a couple dozen songs recorded, the finished product would be massive compared to the output of Never On Sunday and Tragedy combined. What started as a side project fueled by the Freedoms that Success had brought some close Friends, ended up being Jamie Shane, Rachel Christopher, and Trash's main focus, as they watched their world crumble around them. These recordings may be “Diamonds in the Rough”, but if you listen close you can hear the sound of a heartbreak
