Vivian Trimble, Luscious Jackson Multi-Instrumentalist, Dies at 59 ]
We are heartbroken to announce the passing of our beloved friend and band member Viv on Tuesday. She had been in treatment for cancer for several years and developed a complication on Monday. We were not expecting this. She was a great friend and a gifted musician and choreographer, but it was being a partner to David and a mother to Nate and Rebecca that gave her the greatest joy.
We are devastated beyond words to lose our graceful sister.
Gabby, Jill, and Kate
Kate was interviewed by her favorite drummer, Budgie, from Siouxsie and the Banshees and the Slits, along with Lol Tolhurst from The Cure for their brilliant podcast, Curious Creatures! They talk about Kate interviewing Budgie when she was 15, sneaking into gigs, learning to play drums, and all the women in the punk and post punk scene who inspired Luscious Jackson.

Luscious Jackson founding member Jill Cunniff showcased a new dimension of her many talents with her first exhibition of original artwork, Lyric and Word Paintings. The exhibition ran from Thursday, September 19-23, 2018 at 198 Allen Street in New York City.
The opening night event included a one night only acoustic set by Jill, performing songs spanning the Luscious Jackson catalogue, as well as from her 2007 solo album, City Beach.
Commenting on the inspiration and process behind her paintings, Jill explained: “I’ve been painting my whole life. As a teenager, I used to paint and write songs kind of like a hand off, switching between the two over the course of an afternoon. I listen to music when I am doing artwork; it’s a big part of the process. I’m influenced by New York City’s streets and the posters and writings that pile up on top of each other, creating layers of color and text. I came of age in 1980s downtown NYC when graffiti and hip-hop met punk. Later, I was introduced to the work of Bay Area Figurative artists while studying painting at U.C. Berkeley, and their glowing landscapes also had a deep influence. So my paintings have elements that are both hectic and serene.”

Hi and happy holidays to everyone! Lots of creative projects coming in the new year!!!
Much love from LJ
Hi!
We are happy to be working on new music (an EP). It’s in the formative stages.
As you may have noticed, we have only played New York City for the last few years. That’s because most of us are based here. The live band has six people and it just costs too much for us to travel to other cities to perform. However, we are looking into new crowd sourcing platforms to make traveling possible.
We love making music and will continue to create our work, with an eye on new and forward thinking methods of getting it out there…
Peace,
LJ
