The band toured, playing humongous stadiums such as the Stade de France, with an audience capacity in excess of 80.000 performing with classic rock giants AC/DC and DEEP PURPLE, the latter for whom they opened on thirty-six dates across Europe in November 2006, and another 12 in March of 2007. Honde recorded two albums with CAFÉ BERTRAND both critically acclaimed and commercially successful "Les Airs Empruntés" (2005) and "L'Art Délicat du Rock'N'Roll" (2008), before leaving the band in 2011. Honde then embarked on a length tour with former IRON MAIDEN vocalist Paul Di'Anno before absconding to California. Once in Los Angeles, Stéphane Honde befriended Tim Bogert, coaxed him out of retirment and convinced Bogert to play on his debut album
and voilà, HOLLYWOOD MONSTERS was born.
