ROCKSTORY

"(HOLLYWOOD MONSTERS BIOGRAPHY)"

"Hollywood Monsters was an American hard rock supergroup from Los Angeles, California, formed in 2013 by the frontman, Steph Honde, a French singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist he achieved great success in France as a guitarist. He started his musical career as the frontman of the French band Mamooth. Later Honde garnered a reputation as a guitar virtuoso when playing in the French hard rock band Café Bertrand in 2004-2010. Honde recorded two albums with Café Bertrand: Les Airs Empruntés (2005) and L'Art délicat du Rock'N'Roll (2008). He was the sole songwriter of the latter. Both albums were critically acclaimed and commercially successful. In 2010, after leaving the band Café Bertrand, Steph Honde toured with Paul Di'Anno (the original vocalist of Iron Maiden) and The Stars. In 2012 Steph Honde emigrated to California, U.S. and started working on his own project, the band Hollywood Monsters which features legendary guest musicians. Honde created the project in 2013 and is the only songwriter of the project, including the band's debut album Big Trouble. Steph Honde met Don Airey in 2006 when Honde's then-current band Café Bertrand was the opening band for the Deep Purple European leg of the Rapture of the Deep tour. Tim Bogert appreciated the demo recordings suggested to him by Steph Honde and agreed to play on three tracks of the album despite the fact he had been in retirement for several years prior to the recording of the album Big Trouble. Vinny Appice plays drums on most of the tracks on the album. Steph Honde wrote the song "Village of the Damned" as an homage to Vinny Appice before even meeting him. Paul Di'Anno (lead vocals on bonus track "Fuck You All") chose the song himself from the number of songs suggested to him by Steph Honde. They met in 2010 when Honde's then-current band The Stars accompanied Paul Di'Anno on tour across France. Hollywood Monsters were working on their third album called Thriving on Chaos. The album would have featured Steph Honde, Vinny Appice, Tim Bogert, Ronnie Robson, Danko Jones, Blitz from the band Overkill among others. Thriving on Chaos was an eleven track release; it also included a nine track bonus album titled A State of Nature, which is an acoustic album that includes songs from the earliest band's catalogue, new songs, and a few cover songs. Another bonus album called Isolated Incidents is available, and contains various demos, isolated tracks, and more. "
