SIXX:A.M. : SUPERBAND EMBARK ON INNAUGURAL TOUR WITH CRÜE FEST

SUCCESS OF SINGLE “LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL” AND DEMAND FROM FANS PROMPTS
BAND TO
HIT THE ROAD THIS SUMMER

Sixx:A.M embarks on the first tour of their career on Crüe Fest beginning on Tuesday, July 1. The summer’s most decadent rock festival kicked off in West Palm Beach and also includes Mötley Crüe, Buckcherry, Papa Roach and Trapt. Sixx:A.M. was conceived by Nikki Sixx, James Michael and DJ Ashba as an all-star studio band to create the soundtrack to Sixx’s New York Times bestselling book The Heroin Diaries: A Year In The Life Of A Shattered Rock Star, which details Sixx’s crippling drug addiction and the recovery that followed.  Since releasing The Heroin Diaries Soundtrack in August of 2007, the first single, “Life Is Beautiful” reached #1 at Mainstream Rock, becoming the biggest hit on rock radio in 2008; the band is halfway to earning a gold record and will next go
to radio with the track “Tomorrow.” The New York Post described The Heroin Diaries Soundtrack as “A modern-day rock opera based on his time in hell”.

“James, DJ and I never had plans to take Sixx:A.M. on the road.  But
“Life Is Beautiful” hit the top of the charts at rock radio and the fans kept
asking for a tour.  At that point, you just say F*ck it.  Let’s hit the
road.”

Sixx:A.M. members lent their studio expertise to the newly released
Mötley Crüe album Saints Of Los Angeles; vocalist James Michael stepped back
into producer mode while Dj Ashba and Nikki Sixx served as co-producers on
the album -- the critically acclaimed disc which is the first Mötley Crüe
record to feature the original members in over ten years.

Later this summer, fans can emulate their rock idols when MTV
releases “Life Is Beautiful” for download on their massively successful video game Rock Band.  Also a partner of the Crüe Fest tour, Rock Band will host
contests on each stop on the tour, offering fans a chance to prove themselves as
champions and to perform on the main stage as an “opening act.” Crüe 
Fest’s line up features five headlining bands for the price of one.

Tickets, band profiles and exclusive content from all of the Crüe
Fest bands will consistently be uploaded at www.therockvine.com
