[edit] History
[edit] Formation
Junkyard Jane's beginnings can be traced back to 1997, when the bands Cobalt Hook, The Generators, and a newly formed all-female group merged. When Stoops replaced the guitarist for the girl band, the three ensambles joined forces and became Junkyard Jane, with founding members being Leanne Trevalyan, Billy Stoops, Barbra Blue, Susan Orfield and Chris Leighton.
