Luscious Jackson is an alternative rock group formed in 1991 in New York City, New York, United States. They are named after former Philadelphia 76ers pro basketball player Lucious Brown “Luke” Jackson. The original band consisted of Jill Cunniff (vocals, bass), Gabby Glaser (vocals, guitar), Kate Schellenbach (drums) and Vivian Trimble (keyboards, vocals). Schellenbach was a founding member of the Beastie Boys and left shortly after the Beasties switched from being a hardcore punk band into being a hip-hop group
Between 1993 and 2000 they released one EP, three full length LPs and ten singles on the Beastie Boys’ Grand Royal label. Their biggest hit —and only Billboard Top 40 entry— is “Naked Eye” (#36, March 22, 1997). Other notable singles include “Here”, “CitySong (NY State Of The World)”, “Under Your Skin” and “Ladyfingers”.
Vivian Trimble left the group in 1998, and in 2000 (after releasing one album as a trio) the group officially announced the break up of Luscious Jackson.
February 2007 saw the release of Luscious Jackson’s “greatest hits” compilation, and in the fall of 2006 the band announced that they have reunited and are to begin work on a new children’s album.
