History
Band founders Patricia Day and Kim Nekroman first met when Day's now-defunct band, the punk rock group Peanut Pump Gun, opened for Nekroman's psychobilly band, Nekromantix, at a festival in Cologne, Germany in 1996. Despite both belonging to the subculture scene of Copenhagen, Denmark, the two had never met before, but they became friends over their mutual interest in alternative music. The two would eventually marry. Patricia Day, born July 3, 1976, is the bassist and lead singer for the Danish Rockabilly Band HorrorPops. ...

The term alternative rock or alternative music1 was coined in the early 1980s to describe bands which didnt fit into the mainstream genres of the time. ...
Day and Nekroman decided to form a band where they could experiment with many genres outside of their normal bands, and decided to start by switching instruments. Nekroman taught Day how to play an upright bass, while she taught him how to play guitar. The two began auditioning for a drummer, with Nekromantix guitarist Peter Sandorff even being a possible choice. They eventually chose Niedermeier to drum, a friend of Day's and a member of the band Strawberry Slaughterhouse, and officially started HorrorPops in 1998. After touring for a while as a trio, the band recruited Niedermeier's old bandmate, Caz the Clash, as a second guitarist.
In 2000, Day recruited two friends, Mille and Kamilla, co-workers at the body piercing shop she worked at to act as go-go dancers for the band's live show. The group also recorded a 7 song demo for use in a press kit, but it was somehow leaked to the public, and resulted in two of the group's singles becoming club hits in Denmark. The group spent the next few years touring Europe, until 2003, when they began recording 6 more demo tracks. During this time, Caz the Clash became a father and left the band to focus on parenting. He was replaced by another Strawberry Slaughterhouse member, Karsten. Hellcat Records, Tim Armstrong's (of Rancid) record label, decided to sign HorrorPops based on their demos. The band was able to release a vinyl single in September 2003, and began a U.S. headlining tour.

Timeline
1996 Patricia's former band "Peanut Pump Gun" (indiepunk rock) was opening for Kim Nekroman's band "Nekromantix" (psychobilly) at the 1996 POPKOM in Cologne, Germany. Even though both bands were based in Copenhagen, Denmark neither of them had heard about each other before. The audience was a mix of psychobillies, punks and indierockers and the genre combination turned out to be a huge success. A few weeks after the show Patricia and Kim got together back in Copenhagen. Their mutual love for music like:"Blondie", "Depeche Mode" and "Siouxsie and the Banshees", Surf, Ska, Punk and Rock'n'Roll in general, led to the idea of forming a band with no commitment to any particular music style. They also wanted to do something that would take them out of the roles they already were known for and the first step towards that, was to swap instruments. Kim taught Patricia the basics on playing the upright bass and in return Patricia passed on to Kim from her guitar skills. Not long after, the duo were writing songs and a need for a drummer crept in.
1997/1998 After trying out different drummers suitable for the job (even Nekromantix guitarist Pete Sandorff auditioned), Patricia's long time friend Niedermeier (Strawberry Slaughterhouse) joined and "HorrorPops" was officially a band. After a bunch of shows as a trio the "HorrorPops" quickly achieved a cult status attracting a broad audience variety. Never afraid of trying out new things "HorrorPops" recruited a second guitarist "Caz the Clash" , Niedermeier's old band mate and Strawberry Slaughterhouse guitarist. The music came together and got a lot more aggressive.
1999/2000 The HorrorPops are playing with the idea of bringing in a couple of (gogo) girls for their stage show. Not your average gogo dancers but something more rotten. They didn't have to look very far, Patricia was working at a piercing shop at the time and co-workers Mille and Kamilla weren't hard to convince. This was also the year HorrorPops recorded the album's first 7 songs (at Christiania's Ventura Recordings). These recordings were mainly intended for a band press kit when booking shows but it somehow was copied and got multiplied all over the world. Strangely this led to the songs "Ghouls" and "Psychobitches outta Hell" becoming Copenhagen Club hits.
2001/2002 Mainly concentrating on live shows the HorrorPops built up a huge following and closed the year playing at the Legendary "Wild at Heart" club in Berlin, Germany.
2003 The demand for some kind of release motivated the HorrorPops to once again enter the Ventura Recording studio and lay down 6 more tracks. At this time Caz the Clash became a dad and he made the kid his priority........He got replaced by yet another Strawberry Slaughterhouse member Karsten. Hellcat Records were so impressed with the 13 songs and signed HorrorPops. A vinyl single containing "Ghouls" and "Psychobitches outta Hell" was released early September on Rancid Records and the full length album Hell Yeah got scheduled to hit the streets January 2004. With the single in hand HorrorPops ventured out on their first US tour as headliner for the "Aloha from hell tour" with 9 shows across California and Arizona. This also brought the first US interview to HorrorPops witch happened to be with Vogue. With the band always finding humor in things and wanting to please 'the moms', HororPops ended up with a trendy and very funny article in Vogue. Later same year the band got a great preview of their upcoming show with Rancid in LA weekly and a fantastic show with Rancid and Tiger Army at the Wiltern, LA. This show brought HorrorPops out to a lot of new people.
2004 (Highlights of 2004: debut release, Offspring support tour, performing at Jimmy Kimmel, sold out Troubadour W.Hollywood, performing live at BBC1, sold out London twice, playing main stage at Hootenanny and much, much more...) Hell Yeah was released with a bang February 10, the interest in the band grew amazingly and when they did their release show at Amoeba Records, it was packed to everyone in HorrorPops surprise. HorrorPops was then supposed to follow up with a grand U.S. tour, but got stuck in immigration paper work and had to cancel the whole tour. Fortunately The Offspring was just about to head out on their month long European tour and with a 3 day warning HorrorPops got offered the chance to join them as main support. Horrorpops played their butts of every night for an audience counting between 5000 to 16000 people and then continued on with their own 1 1/2 month headline tour in Europe. Shortly after the European tour ended, HorrorPops returned to the states to play the Jimmy Kimmel show and a few California shows, but realizing the work that laid ahead and how time consuming the band had become, Mille had to leave the band to go back to school. Mille got replaced by another good friend of the band, Naomi quickly renamed NoNo. HorrorPops started touring the states, first on Punks VS Psychos, then as main support for Lars Frederiksen and the Bastards and then back to Europe for another tour. One tour took over the next in 2004 and the band to loved every minute of it. Unfortunately Karsten had to leave the band, he met the love of his life and wanted to spend every minute with her which was kind of hard to do with the bands tour schedule. HorrorPops played around 110 shows in 2004 and went back to Los Angeles to start work on their second album. They played one last show for the year in West Hollywood to announce their new guitar player.
2005 The HorrorPops second album, "Bring It On" was released, featuring new rhythm guitarist, Geoff Kresge.
2006 The HorrorPops spent most of 2006 touring Canada, Asia, Europe, and the States, including a Warped Tour stint.
2007 According to HorrorPops MySpace page, as of mid-February, the HorrorPops were in the studio recording their third album. The album is titled "KissKissKillKill" and has a tentative release date in January 2008. Leaving the band is rhythm guitarist Geoff Kresge . The band is now back to its original three-piece arrangement. Several smaller tours have been promised with already being confirmed and advertised.
