Day recruits go-go dancers

In 2000, Day recruited two friends, Mille and Kamilla Vanilla , 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, “Ghouls” and “Psychobitches outta Hell” becoming club hits in Denmark. The group spent the next few years touring Europe until 2003. 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 record label, signed HorrorPops. The band released a vinyl single in September 2003, and began a U.S. headlining tour.
