A dancer and choreographer as well as a musician, Trimble , also released collaboration albums with Luscious Jackson singer-bassist Jill Cunniff in 1995 as the Kostars, and an album with Breeders bassist Josephine Wiggs as Dusty Trails, which featured guest vocals from Emmylou Harris.Born to classical musicians, Trimble was raised in France and the U.S. and spoke three languages. She attended Oberlin College and met Cunniff in 1991 when both were teaching GED adult education classes in New York.
Cunniff had formed Luscious Jackson with her longtime friend Gabrielle Glaser and recorded the group’s debut EP, “In Search of Manny,” with Kate Schellenbach — an original member of the Beastie Boys in their early days as a punk-rock group — joining on drums.
