Do you remember rock'n'roll radio?, no, i'm not introducing the Ramones, but Kim Fowley. In 1974, the year 'Animal God of the Street' was released, Kim Fowley also gave us a Californian version of the New York Dolls with 'The Hollywood Stars'. He co-wrote with band leader the glammy smash hit "All The Kids On The Street". But the album also includes some nice tunes, and if you like Raspberries, Artful Dodger, glam powerpop so you have to listen to this album. Terry Rae was for a short time a Flamin' Groovies member (drummer after Danny Mihm left the band). Here's A Terry Rae interview about the beginnings of the band: "Yes. Kim Fowley put together the five of us and helped us write songs. rehearse and shopped us around to the Major record companies. We played the street clubs until we were signed by Pacific Presentations. and Sepp Donahower to manage the group. Before long we signed a recording deal with Columbia and were in the Studio. The Record Plant was the craziest place in town. I had been put in the fast lane for success again. We played the Whisky and the Starwood constantly. and big groups like "the Tubes" or "Journey" would open for US! We didn't even have a record out yet but we had good management". Unfortunately this group was stopped in its tracks by another law suit regarding studio time being charged to Columbia Records that we never had used. It turned out that a major recording artist that was recording at the Record Plant needed a little extra studio time, so they just charged it to us. Nobody would find out right ? WRONG! Mark Anthony, Michael Rummins, Bobby Drier, Ruben DeFuentes and myself would be "THE STARS ". What! There's already a STARZ ? Ok then, "THE HOLLYWOOD STARS" will try it again. Mark Anthony had a lot of new songs and new found energy(money) from kim Fowley placing two of his songs with other artists. Our song "King of the Night time World" was recorded by KISS and "Escape" was done by "ALICE COOPER". With this new claim to fame and a need to prove ourselves, we started out again. Neil Merryweather who would produce a demo tape for us that would get us a deal with the top man with Arista Records, Clive Davis. The album was released with our single "All the Kids On The Street". We went on the West Coast part or the KINKS "Sleepwalker" Tour. After we got back from the tour there was to much tension between Mark and the rest of us. Soon after our return, Mark quit.." (Terry Rae) It was the end of The Hollywood Stars. Of course, the album was never reissued on cd, but "All The Kids On The Street" is a classic.
