The Deathstar Mohawks
The Deathstar Mohawks were a British punk-rock band, that originated in 1984. The band consists of Staci Sixx (Lead vocals, guitar, keyboards), Ace Stevens (drums, backing vocals, percussion), Jesse Livewire (backing vocals, guitar, tambourine, percussion), Tommy Cool (lead guitar, keyboards), and Jimmy Cool (bass guitar, and keyboards). The band are well known for the critical acclaim of their first album 'Lucys Kaleidoscope'. Not long after the release of the album, the band disappeared, and their existence has led to many conspiracy theorists suggesting that they are still in existence performing under the guise of a well known rock group.

Formation
Little is known about the band, other than their formation, and subsequent disappearance in 1984.

Lucys Kaleidoscope
The Deathstar Mohawks were relative unknowns, when Lucys Kaleidoscope reached the top of the British album charts in February 1984; displacing the Thompson Twins 'Into the Gap'. The album was recorded in the basement of lead vocalist Staci Sixx parents home. When quizzed on the title of the album Sixx replied "My ex-girlfriend Lucy always used to carry this kaleidoscope with her, and it fascinated me. When we split up I felt like a part of me had died, and so when I found her kaleidoscope lying around it inspired me to write, and heal at the same time". After this revelation many women claimed to be Lucy. Before the success of the album, the band would play gigs in pubs, most notably The Spread Eagle in Greenwich. It is here that they were spotted by EMI talent representative, Keith Wozencroft, who subsequently signed the band.

The Bands Disappearance
After the success of Lucys Kaleidoscope the band disappeared without a trace. Some claim a catastrophic performance at Ronnie Scott's Jazz Club, bled the band of their enthusiasm for music, forcing them into retirement and obscurity. Other reports suggest that the kaleidoscope that Sixx cherished, was stolen, banishing his trust in the world. The bands disappearance is one of musics great mysteries, and rocks biggest losts.

Conspiracy Theories
After the 'Mohawks' failed to return, conspiracy theories began to circulate. Some claim Sixx found God, and fled to a monastery in Peru. Others claim the band took part in a suicide pact, although this has been disclaimed. Perhaps the most interesting of theories, is the one that claims the band are still in mainstream existence, playing under the guise of a well known rock group, thought to be Radiohead.
