Early
90s heavy metal group (amusingly containing five people); the
songs that got some
airplay where "Nobody Said It Was Easy" and "Rockin' Is My Business." They were formed by "
Haggis" (born Stephen Harris, formerly known as "Kid Chaos" in the British band
Zodiac Mindwarp and the Love Reaction) in
1988 in
Los Angeles, and did fairly well locally on the strength of an
EP. But their lead singer Frank Starr was arrested and jailed on drug charges and they were not able to record the album
Nobody Said It Was Easy (with
Rick Rubin as producer) until
1991.
This album did well on the hard rock/heavy metal scene, but Starr's parole violations and eventual re-arrest kept them from following up. In 1994 drummer "Dimwit" lived up to his name by dying from a heroin overdose. The band recorded a sort of tribute album, Gettin' Pretty Good at Barely Gettin' By, with Dimwit's brother Chuck Biscuits (formerly of Black Flag and Danzig), but then Frank Starr was hit by a drunk driver. He was in a coma for some time (and died in 1999, a year after the band had broken up).
