The Hollywood Stars formed in 1973 thanks to rock 'n roll Svengali Kim Fowley. Kim is long gone, but the band is back and with a new album titled Starstruck. Here are Scott Phares and Jeff Jourard to get us up to speed.

Marty Duda spoke to original lead singer Scott Phares and former Motels and Tom Petty guitarist Jeff Jourard about their long and winding history...from working with Kim and Kiss to writing a major hit for The Motels. Not bad for a band that started out as the "West Coast's answer to The New York Dolls".
