In short, Hollywood Bitch is the result of 4 everyday gigging musicians who decided to get together to perform what they thought would be a one off Halloween set as Stone Temple Pilots and accidentally had their set go over a little too well with their audience. So well in fact, that they were endlessly pestered to make their alter ego as a Stone Temple Pilots tribute into a permanent thing. You wanted the best STP tribute band in Chicago? You got the best! Current lineup starring J.P. Halloran and Nick Scelsi of Chicago’s raunchy far NW side power trio Downhole as Robert Deleo and Scott Weiland. Guitar sensation Pasquale Maurelli stars as Dean Deleo; and Tom Stukel of Sadie & The Stark stars as Eric Kretz. Hollywood Bitch’s set lists cover all years of the original lineup of STP’s musical catalogue; but the appearance and live performance usually tends to lean a little more in the direction of the band’s infamous 1999-2002 run. Hollywood Bitch is off the rails, out of control, and coming straight at you with all the stomp, sparkle, and crunch that is Stone Temple Pilots.
