In Memoriam: Vivian Trimble (1963 - 2023)

Vivian Elizabeth Trimble (May 24, 1963 – April 4, 2023) was an American musician, best known as the keyboardist in the band Luscious Jackson from 1991 to 1998. She also joined bandmate Jill Cunniff under the name Kostars and recorded an album released in 1996.

It's almost trite to note this now, but Luscious Jackson really were the connective tissue between 90s alt and trip hop. Vivian Trimble was a big part of that through the 90s, playing some...well...trippy keyboard lines.

Remembering Bill Butler and Vivian Timble

Here is my combined remembrance to two entertainers we lost this week:

Remembering Bill Butler 1921-2023

Cinematographer Bill Butler has died at 101 (not a typo). He was nominated for an Oscar for Best Cinematography on One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, which was shared with Haskell Wexler. He was Director of Photography and in the camera dept. on numerous films, but the highlights include Jaws (my favorite of his films), Grease, Rocky II - IV, Stripes, Biloxi Blues, Child's Play (easily the best Chucky movie), and Hot Shots!.

Remembering Vivian Trimble 1963-2023

Musician Vivian Trimble has died at 59. She was the keyboardist for Luscious Jackson from 1991 to 1998. 

The NYC group was a big part of the Alternative Nation in the mid 90s. I first became aware of them with their song “Citysong”, which was on MTV and they performed on SNL. In June 1995, I saw Luscious Jackson open for R.E.M. at Great Woods (Mansfield, MA) and they had some good songs, but I got the sense they would play better in a club. In the following years they had some appearances on movies soundtracks including Clueless and Good Will Hunting. They also had some hits like “Naked Eye”, one of my favorites of 1997. In addition to Luscious Jackson, Trimble and bandmate Jill Cunniff had their side project Kostars. After Trimble left Luscious Jackson, she formed the short-lived Dusty Trails with Josephine Wiggs of The Breeders.

Luscious Jackson - Naked Eye

[lusciousjacksonband]

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

Kostars (feat. Ween): Don't Know Why

These assholes just show up wherever, huh?

Hey, if you haven't heard of Kostars, check out Klassics with a "K" because it's an awesome album and indispensable listening for alternative pop-rock lovers. This song, a collaboration with our favorite Boognish worshipers, should be more enough to convince you.

RIP to Vivian Trimble who passed April 4, 2023.

I'm saddened to hear of the passing of Vivian Trimble, Luscious Jackson's keyboardist and backup singer. They've inspired me a hell of a lot this year, and it's crazy to think that one of them is gone. Her keyboard playing was a wonderful touch in their music! I really love her little piano part and even more so, the badass wah-piano in "Angel," my favorite song of theirs. I also love her piano on "Strongman," her keyboard parts on "Take A Ride," and her mellotron in "Water Your Garden" and "Soothe Yourself," especially. I love her duo with Jill Cunniff, Kostars, as well!

Anyway, she was only 59 and lost a battle to cancer. Rest in peace, Viv! I'll certainly never forget you!
