Hollywood Porn Stars was born at the end of
2002 in Liege, Belgium. Originally formed for a music contest, the
band decided to carry on with the adventure after winning the first
prize. They started to play a lot of gigs and released a first
6-track EP, All On The Six (Soundstation).
After more than a
year of wild concerts, they released their first album, Year Of
The Tiger (Naïve) in late 2004, including the singles
Actarus, Money and Hollybody. They toured again
and again in Belgium, France, The Netherlands, Switzerland, UK,…
They played in festivals like Pukkelpop, les Vieilles Charrues, Dour,
Solidays, le Paléo, Le Rock dans tous ses Etats, Eurosonic,
Reeperbhan and many more.
During the two following years the band shared
stage with bands like Hot Hot Heat, The Donnas, Primal Scream, Deus,
Millionaire, Kasabian and many others...
After giving a
secret gig in Liege, HPS started recording their second album in the
Caraïbes Studios in Brussels in early 2007. They worked with
Christine Verschorren in live conditions, and with John Goodmanson
(Sleater-Kinney, Blood Brothers, Death Cab For Cutie, Nada Surf...)
for mixing the tracks. Satellites was released in August 2007.
Andy was the first single, Islands followed.
The band played the
new songs for the first time in Brighton (UK) at the Great Escape
Festival. They played once again then at Pukkelpop Festival and
started a club tour through Belgium, Germany, France, Switzerland,
The Netherlands and Italy.
Since April 2008,
the band has worked on the release of a bonus track EP. It's called Besides The Satellite and it will be available in june 2008. Last but not least, The Fugitive is the third single of Satellites and a new video is on the way!
