In 1991, Jill Cunniff and Gabby Glaser (the niece of graphic designer Milton Glaser ) created the first Luscious Jackson demo with tip money from their restaurant jobs. The band’s name was derived from a malapropism of the name of former American basketball player Lucious Jackson , after the band members heard an announcer on ESPN ‘s SportsCenter mispronounce Jackson’s first name as “Luscious” and thought it would make for a great band name. Their first live performance was opening for Beastie Boys and Cypress Hill at the now-defunct Building in lower New York City . The Beastie Boys asked Luscious Jackson to be the first band on their Grand Royal label.
