S2-Ep 6: The Hollywood Brats - From Almost-Famous to Absolutely Infamous
from Rock N Roll Gutter · host Andy & Gary
Before punk had a mohawk and before glam got glossy, there were The Hollywood Brats—the band that should have been the UK’s answer to the New York Dolls but ended up as rock ‘n’ roll’s best-kept secret. In this episode, we dive into the sneering, swaggering, and spectacularly doomed career of the Brats, a group so ahead of their time they practically time-traveled into obscurity.From their reckless fashion choices to their run-ins with music industry apathy, we’ll unpack why their lone album (recorded in ’73, ignored until ’79) still sounds like a Molotov cocktail wrapped in leopard print. Were they glam? Proto-punk? Just really bad at networking? Tune in as we separate myth from mayhem and give The Hollywood Brats their belated street cred—though, let’s be real, they’d probably prefer a pint and a punch-up.Send us Fan MailShow Notes:Contact Us: [email protected] Us: https://rocknrollgutter.com/ | Instagram | FacebookSubscribe: Apple Podcasts | Spotify | https://pod.link/1763428225
