=== 2000–2003: Demo tape and signing ===
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 dancer]]s 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 [[United States|U.S.]] headlining tour.

HorrorPops ventured out on their first US tour as headliner for the "Aloha from hell tour" with nine shows across California and Arizona. They were interviewed by ''Vogue'', and reviewed by ''LA Weekly''.
