Hollywood Monsters is a new project from French vocalist / guitarist / composer Steph Honde (aka Steph Stevens) that has come to fruition with the release of the album “Big Trouble” via Mausoleum Records on 23rd May. Promotion of the album is being handled by Rock N Growl. Honde is probably best known as guitarist for French band Cafe Bertrand and for touring with Paul Di’Anno. The Hollywood Monsters project can trace its roots to Honde’s arrival in California in 2011 and his decision to recruit some well known names to work on an album.

We’re big fans of Chicago based band The Last Vegas who are releasing a new album “Sweet Salvation” this month and embarking on a tour of the UK and Europe. I’d previously interviewed bass player Danny Smash back in August 2012, (http://www.rockradioni.co.uk/interviews/1091-ni-rocks-interview-with-the-last-vegas.html) but was keen to catch up with the band again.
I spoke to singer Chad Cherry by phone just before the first show on the UK tour. This interview was broadcast on the Friday NI Rocks Show on 16th May and was then available for 8 weeks via the On Demand Player. The show from 16th May which includes the interview can be heard at http://www.mixcloud.com/NIRocks/
The full interview can be read below.
