The Drive Bar Stalkers


Rockabily at its best, from Tampa Florida

Quick note from HollywoodBands.com:
Oh boy, I know too much about Florida.  The Dive Bar Stalkers is a band you've gotta check out.  They are a fun Rockabilly band.  I knew Jeff Vitolo when he was in Mojo Gurus over 2 years ago.  You can see Jeff Vitolo singing "The Guitar King" at Mojo Gurus' page.

To make long story short: Jeff is now doing Rockabilly with a bunch of fun guys. 

Hollywood, The Dive Bar Stalkers are a tough act to follow.  We might as well enjoy.  Oh, I love their MySpace page

Peppermint Creeps


Traci Michaelz Memorial Show: Aug 8, 08 

Peppermint Creeps are a Glam metal band from Hollywood, California, formed in 1997. Reminiscent of Kiss's style and sound. The group are recognisable by their makeup, often fluorescent red, pink or green coloured hair, as well as their elaborate stage costumes consisting of mainly black PVC with fluorescent colours again. The Peppermint Creeps have become an icon to many glam rock bands globally, thus their look is no longer unique but has become popular.

Traci Michaelz, drummer  from Peppermint Creeps, passed away in the early morning hours of Friday June 13, 2008 after performing in Fort Worth Texas at the Rockstar Sports Bar the previous night

Note to band members - your fliers


Hi band members, please do me a big favor.

When you design your gig fliers (both paper, or online) please indicate what year the gig will take place.  Please.

  1. When you look at your fliers 10-20 years later (as a record, or keepsakes), you will get mad confused because you will not know the year of the gig.  Memories fade, trust me.
  2. This is also the same case for online fliers.  I see a lot of band members saying "Come to our show~!!" but we are not sure if that web page is current or 2 years old.
    1. As you know, a lot of garage band websites are not active.  Visitors cannot trust what they see online.  They want some kind of assurance that they are not looking at last year's show schedule.

Anybody agree with me should add a short comment below. 

Thank you very much.

Silver Dirt


Rock band in Switzerland

HollywoodBands.com review:
Watching Silver Dirt is like taking a time machine back 15 years in Hollywood.  They carry the spirit of Rock and Roll that's we are desperately looking for.  Silver Dirt sent me their CD and a few stickers (long~ time ago). I am sorry that it took so long.  Thank you for having YouTube videos available.

Finally, I present you Switzerland's bad asses - Silver Dirt

Malfaktor


Hollywood Metal BandAbout MALFAKTOR
Formed in late 2005, Malfaktor is an Experimental-Industrial-Metal band from Huntington Beach, California. Malfaktor formed out of the ruins of their former band, Ritualistic Suicide, by its founders, lead singer/programmer Doug Cheek, former lead guitarist/synths/programmer Tim Miller, and bass/synths/programmer Larry Orban III. Malfaktor has currently risen to new heights, but only recently...

During most of 2006, they visualized what Malfaktor was at the time and also recorded approximately ten (10) songs, including the single "Dirty Faith", for their upcoming debut album, The Delay of the Inevitable. The band took a well needed break in the latter part of 2006, but in 2007, the band seemed to have changed a bit.

Spiders and Snakes


I am happy to know that a lot of veteran underground bands are searchable online.  Some bands are completely untraceable, but some of them have adopted new technology & left their foot prints.  I crossed my fingers and searched "Spiders & Snakes" and I found the video of "Public Enemy Number One" This is my favorite Spiders and Snakes song.  You know, this song was written, partially, by the original member of Spiders & Snakes.


I remember that day vividly. It was around 2001 when I went to Key club.  It was a Glam night  (Revlon Red was in the lineup).  Tim, the drummer from Spiders and Snakes gave me the CD - "Public Enemy Number One".  We even took a picture together with my film camera. 

Tim was a drummer from Spiders & Snakes.  But at that time, he was helping out Sisters Grimm with drums.  I wonder how Sisters Grimm is doing.  I remember visiting their drummer's house in the Valley before she quit Sisters Grimm. 

Public Enemy Number One is a high quality rock song.  Good time. 

Anyway, Tim, if you see this, email me.  Let me know if you are still in Hollywood.


Rebel Rebel


They must have toned down their stage act somewhat, because they are now allowed to play in Hollywood.  Rebel Rebel used to be banned in Hollywood back then.  They used to cut off dead animals and threw it in to the audience.

Hollywood Punk Band

Introducing.... Rebel Rebel

They are psychotic with music to match.  Just Check out the video.  But, you must now that these guys are professionals.  They have families and businesses.  When you meet them before/after the show, you will see that they are just normal folks.  They would love to chat with you after the show.  I had some good memories knowing these guys.  I wonder what Gizmo (drummer) is doing now.  I wish a good luck with the new drummer.

 


Thank You

Zak Daniels and the One Eyed Snakes


* Highly Recommended by HollywoodBands.com 

Review by HollywoodBands.com
So, we all agree that Hollywood is fun. All the bands are here to entertain us, and we love their unique styles.  But, once in a while, one must ask "who are the best bands around here?". Once a while, we have to become critiques and analyze their music part by part.

Hollywood Rock and Roll

CARTOON SAVIOR - By ZAK DANIELS And The ONE EYED SNAKES

 

Zak Daniels and the One Eyed Snakes is the band you might want to analyze. They are clearly the band that stands out, not because of a hype, but because of their talent.


Pussy Sisster


HollywoodBands.com Review:
It's sad to hear people saying "Rock is dead in Hollywood". Lots of thanks to Pussy Sisster from Germany, we can keep the spirit alive here in Hollywood. They do come here in LA to hang out. They recently completed a US tour.  Their sound reminds us of Hollywood's club scene during the 80's & the 90's. They are fun loving guys.  Give them a chance.

  • I try not to list bands outside of Hollywood area (Southern California). But It's hard to refuse services to hard working bands when they take effort to ask for a listing.
    • If the website grows, I am going to have to enforce "Hollywood Bands Only" rule.  or come up with some other way to promote bands from outside of Hollywood.

Heaven's Burning


Heaven's Burning - All Girl Band
Heaven's Burning is a three piece all girl band. They have a sound of underground college band. They tour a lot and they get invited to many underground & mainstream community events. They also get some air times (radio) that most bands dream of getting.

Heaven's Burning, female band
Holes in the Skies by Heaven's Burning


They are extremely popular in the college community. They don't fancy themselves with "sex". They come to us as regular folks who have some messages to tell. Listen to there audio sample and hear what they have to say. They are simple, deep, and likeable.

The Eyeshadows formed in 2001. They were a bunch of lovely punk rock stricken sex kittens in need of a musical love fix. You can check out cool pics of the previous luv kittens and bio under "COOL PAST STUFF".

White Trash Debutantes


Blast from the past.  I wonder if these guys are still rocking.  Ginger Coyote is the lead singer AND the brain behind this pure punk leader in Hollywood.  White Trash Debutantes is an entertaining punk band.  I have some video clips of them in 8mm camcorder tapes.  



Finally Joined MySpace


After re-launching HollywoodBands.com, I finally joined MySpace.com.  There was a small learning curve.  I was a little confused about how I navigate the website.

Then I quickly discovered that a lot of band members are still rocking in Hollywood after 7-10 years.  I thought all those guys would simply disappear after a few years.  But a lot of them are now becoming some kind of underground legend.  I was impressed.

Rebel Rebel, White Trash Debutantes, Spiders And Snakes, and all of them are still very much active.  Now I can watch their videos at YouTube.

As a web developer, I was too busy working on database & shopping carts.  I never paid attention to MySpace.  I had no idea how "Band Friendly" MySpace was.

Anyway, I found a bunch of band members at MySpace that I knew a long time ago.  I announced to them that HollywoodBands.com is back up.

About a dozen people already became my friends.  This is fun.


Queeny Blast Pop - Might as Well be Dead


Internet is an amazing thing.  I never imagined I would live to see the day like this. Queeny Blast Pop was my favorite Hollywood underground band back in the 90's. 



Amy Kuney


* Highly recommended by HollywoodBands.com
* New album "Bird's Eye View" to release August 12, 2008

Quick review by HollywoodBands.com:
Make sure to watch below youtube video. Amy Kuney is my personal favorite. I honestly believe she is much better than most pop singers you see on TV nowadays.  I mean, she sings better, she looks better, and she a real good person from inside.  Don't miss out. 


August 7, 2008 - Zoey's Cafe, Ventura, CA

Amy Kuney's Official Bio:
They say that a picture says a thousand words; but, if that were the truth, I wouldn't need a biography. All one would need to do is look at my dramatic promo shots and take a guess at my background. But let me at least get you started.

New website at work


Hello everyone, I am back. 

I bought the domain name 'HollywoodBand.com' 10 years ago.  Then I purchased 'HollywoodBands.com' 9 years ago.

I was never able to tidy up this website as I wanted... there was not enough resource on Internet technology at that time. 

Since than I moved away from Los Angeles County and became a wedding photographer in Ventura County.  I still check out the bands in Hollywood but not as much.

Oh, I earned BS degree in Computer Information System.
