Kostars was an alternative/pop-rock side project formed by Vivian Trimble and Jill Cunniff while on a headlining tour with Luscious Jackson in 1995.
Trimble and Cunniff, who needed an additional outlet, wrote under the name Kostars and released the album Klassics with a "K" in 1996.
The album was recorded at Luscious Jackson drummer Kate Schellenbach's home studio.
It featured drums by Schellenbach and a guest guitar spot by Gabrielle Glaser (also of Luscious Jackson), as well as Gene and Dean Ween of Ween, and was engineered/recorded by Josephine Wiggs, bass player of the Breeders, marking her first full-length engineering project.
A few years later, Wiggs and Trimble would release a self-titled album together as Dusty Trails.
