Walk Among Us is the only Punk Rock Piano Tribute to the Misfits! Classically trained pianist Sara VanLaningham formed the group in 2015, recruiting operatically trained vocalist/pianist Veronica Danko, good friend and guitarist/bassist Rob Pozen, and guitarist/drummer Nate Phillips. By using 2 pianos–one clean sound and one dirty/distorted sound (in lieu of guitars), a female vocal lead, 3-part harmonies, bass, and drums, Walk Among Us creates a sound that is both unique to the genre yet respectful of the Danzig and Graves eras of the Misfits catalogue. Each member of Walk Among Us, for many reasons, loves the Misfits and wishes to present this classic horror punk music in a new and fresh way!

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.
