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.
