Produced by the band’s guitarist Keith Nelson along with Marti Frederiksen who has also worked with Aerosmith, Mötley Crüe, and Fuel, Black Butterfly continues the L.A. band’s potent brand of rock which is packed with melodic hooks and hard-charging guitars.

Los Angeles (April 15, 2008) – During a press conference held today in Los Angeles, Mötley Crüe, the world’s most notorious rock band, revealed that this summer, they will bring the next generation of rock’s superstars out on the road with them for what will undoubtedly be the hottest ticket of the year for rock fans: “Crüe Fest ‘08,” which will visit cities across the U.S. and Canada July through August.
Produced by Live Nation, Crüe Fest, a touring rock festival featuring the hottest names in rock and alternative, kicks off on July 1st, and will hit over 40 major North American cities by the end of August. As if fans getting to see a Mötley Crüe show were not enough, there is an impressive line-up for the first year of the tour which includes Buckcherry, Papa Roach, breakout rock artist Sixx:A.M., and alternative rock band Trapt. Tickets will go on sale via www.LiveNation.com beginning Friday or Saturday, depending on the market. Fans that can’t wait for the onsale can get their tickets immediately by going to TheRockvine.com.
Says Nikki Sixx of Mötley Crüe, ”We are SO excited not only to headline our own annual summer festival, but also to be able to share the stage with the next generation of great rock bands. There’s not a lot Mötley Crüe hasn’t done so to say this summer’s festival is going to be about rock ‘n roll excess is an understatement. A night of hit songs by great bands and a trail of panties coast to coast… Crüe Fest, hell yeah!”
During the press conference, Mötley Crüe also announced that they will release “Saints of Los Angeles,” their first new studio album recorded with all of the original band members in over a decade, on June 17th.
Today’s event featured the premiere of Mötley Crüe’s brand new single, “Saints Of Los Angeles,” which the band played live during a brief but raucous performance. The song, which also includes backing vocals by Josh Todd (Buckcherry), Jacoby Shaddix (Papa Roach), James Michael (Sixx:A.M.) and Chris Brown (Trapt) is the title track of the new album. Lyrically, the new album follows the story of the band’s NY Times best-selling memoir The Dirt, a no-holds-barred tell-all that features every gritty detail of the band’s exploits as one of the world’s biggest rock bands. The first single and video were serviced today to radio and television and the digital download was instantly made available for purchase at the iTunes Music Store. In an industry first, the song was also made available as a download for the Rock Band video game simultaneously with its single release.
In addition to being televised live on Fuse, the press conference was broadcast live online and syndicated on numerous websites including TheRockvine.com. Mötley Crüe chose to deliver the live stream using Microsoft Silverlight via iStreamPlanet, Co’s iStream Player. The iStream Player is built on Microsoft Silverlight technology which is a lightweight cross-browser, cross-platform plug-in that delivers the next generation of fully immersive media experiences and rich interactive applications for the Web.

A special Crüe Fest CD featuring tracks from all of the bands on the tour will be available exclusively at Best Buy beginning June 17th. JVC Mobile Audio premiered a viral video featuring Josh Todd of Buckcherry and Jacoby Shaddix of Papa Roach having an “experience” in a car surrounded by the latest JVC audio/visual technology, a cast of hot babes and a ton of soap bubbles.

Buckcherry to be part of Crue Fest 2008 lineup
“15,” the blockbuster third album from Eleven Seven/Atlantic recording group Buckcherry, has been certified platinum by the RIAA for sales exceeding 1 million units. Released April 11, 2006, the Los Angeles-based hard rock outfit’s “15” kick-started the rock revolution with a remarkable 91-weeks-and-counting on the Billboard Top 200 Albums Chart, powered by four enormously successful multi-format hit singles: “Crazy Bitch,” “Next 2 You,” “Everything,” and “Sorry.” Accolades for the band’s success through real music are pouring in, lauding the band for bringing rock back despite the music industry’s failed focus on manufactured hip-hop and pop. Said fellow Eleven Seven Music label mate, Sixx: A.M. and Mötley Crüe bassist Nikki Sixx, “Few bands are savvy enough to write hit songs that aren’t just the flavor of the week. Buckcherry have stood the test of time and overcome adversity – which allows them to not only make rock history, but pave the road going forward, too.” Or, as Jed Gottleib at the Boston Herald put it, “Hundreds of bands score gold records. Hundreds more have Top 40 singles. Yet only a handful of lucky and brilliant artists. . . become part of the American experience.”
Ike Reilly’s “Poison The Hit Parade” is a collection of songs taken from demos from his brilliant debut “Salesmen and Racists” and alternate versions of songs from the blistering “Sparkle In The Finish” and 2007’s “We Belong To The Staggering Evening,” as well as the previously unreleased title track and the massive and poignant cancer anthem, “Dragonflies.” ”Poison” showcases Reilly and his bandmate Ed Tinley as producers unencumbered by the major label system and willing to frame a song in any vibe needed to hold the melodies and tales of Reilly’s unique vision. Beginning with the title track, “Poison The Hit Parade” continues Reilly’s prolific assault with images of characters in a conflicted middle America: patriotic doubt, the celebration of life and death, high school girls in summer dresses and more theoretical assassination attempts.
Echovalve. To their fans, the band is a refreshing anecdote to over-processed, cookie-cutter rock music. Mainstream in their own right, they have managed to take a distinctively original approach to a familiar genre. With searing and melodic riffs, tasty bass lines, pounding beats, and intensely haunting, hook-laden vocals, Echovalve has honed a sound that sets them apart. Through the challenges of the highly competitive, ever-changing world of the music industry, Echovalve has remained steadfast. What kills most has given life time and time again to a band that has refused to go away. Though the band is clean now, members have been plagued with drug and alcohol addictions and one band member was declared clinically dead following a drug overdose (he lived to tell the tale). The band has toured the country with no money, sleeping on park benches as they went from town to town. One band member was actually homeless and living on the streets for a while. That which did not break them only made them stronger and has made the successes that have come their way even sweeter.
Here are this week’s GHIDRAH songs:
SONG 1: Buckcherry - “Sorry”
SONG 2: Ike Reilly - “Poison The Hit Parade”
SONG 3: Echovalve - “Dirty Little Secret”
Here’s the new single “Sorry” from Buckcherry’s new album 15.
