The Hollywood Stars
Flashback to 1973. Two years before Kim Fowley would unveil his teenage Runaways to an unsuspecting world, the rock ‘n’ roll Svengali of the Sunset Strip was assembling the Hollywood Stars. Fowley conceptualized the group as a West Coast answer to the New York Dolls — having the energy and excitement of mid-60s pop and rock, with the crunchy guitars and attitude of hard rock.
