The group formed in Toronto in 1985.
The band's name was simply a random choice as they approached their first ever gig, but it has come to perfectly represent their sound. The Trinity Session is perhaps their best known record, recorded live in a single day on a single microphone in a church in Toronto. This album also included a unique cover version of Lou Reed's "Sweet Jane". Reed reportedly liked the Junkies' version of the song better than his own, and began performing their version in concert.
