Motley Crue announces mega-tour and June release

Inspired by the energy and experience of their performance with their Crüe Fest cohorts Buckcherry, Papa Roach, Sixx:A.M. and Trapt at the press conference to announce the upcoming mega-tour, Mötley Crüe extended the production for their upcoming CD, returning to the studio this week to record one more track for the highly-anticipated album Saints of Los Angeles. The first new studio album recorded with all of the original band members in over a decade, Saints of Los Angeles will now be released on June 24th. 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 group's exploits as one of the world's biggest rock bands.

Since its release, "Saints Of Los Angeles" has been one of the fastest growing songs at Rock Radio since it was serviced and is already #7 on the Media Base Mainstream Rock Chart.

Says Sixx, "Before our performance at the press conference, we were firing on all cylinders at sound check just jamming out, and that's when the new idea came. We quickly laid it down and went to the studio to record it, and liked it so much we pushed back the release one week so that we could get it onto the album - it now has 13 tracks. It's the ultimate song to end the record with and begin the new chapter of our career."

Produced by Live Nation, Crüe Fest is a touring rock festival embracing the lifestyle of rock. With the stellar lineup of Mötley Crüe, Buckcherry, Papa Roach, Sixx:A.M. and Trapt, Crüe Fest '08 will undoubtedly be the summer's loudest show on earth. The trek kicks off July 1st in West Palm Beach, Florida and works its way across North America for over 40 dates throughout July and August. Tickets, band profiles and exclusive content from all of the Crüe Fest bands will consistently be uploaded at www.therockvine.com.
