Dim Stars has been played on NTS shows including The Bennett Show, with Christian Rat Attack first played on 25 July 2018.

Dim Stars were an alternative rock supergroup from the early ’90s comprising of Thurston Moore (guitars, vocals) and Steve Shelley (drums) of Sonic Youth, Gumball’s Don Flemming (guitars) and, perhaps most vitally, punk legend Richard Hell (vocals), formerly of Television, Johnny Thunders and the Heartbreakers and his own band, Richard Hell and the Voidoids. Robert Quine, another former Voidoid, also contributed on guitar.

The group released a self-titled album and an EP of the same name in 1992 to generally positive reviews, disbanding soon afterward.
