Says Nikki Sixx of M tley Cr e, 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 M tley Cr e 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… Cr e Fest, hell yeah!
During the press conference, M tley Cr e 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 M tley Cr e’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.
