SIXX:A.M. Streaming Tonight’s Chicago Show Via Yahoo! Live

Sixx:A.M. has teamed up with Live Nation and Yahoo to live-stream their concert tonight (April 20th) live from The Vic Theater in Chicago, IL.

 

 

This is one of 365 concerts to stream over a 12-month period on the Live Nation Channel on Yahoo Screen. Fans can tune in tonight at 9:15 PM, ET / 6:15 PM, PT.

Six:A.M. - vocalist and producer James Michael, bassist Nikki Sixx (Mötley Crüe) and guitarist DJ Ashba (Guns N’ Roses, Beautiful Creatures) - embarked on their first-ever headline tour with a packed house at their sold out first show at San Francisco’s Regency Ballroom on April 8th.

Said vocalist James Michael: “We have been looking forward to play a headlining tour as Sixx:A.M. for years so it’s been tremendously exciting to even just start the tour but to kick it off with a sold out show and to such an extraordinary audience last night really made it a truly fantastic and memorable tour start and we can’t wait to see everybody out there at the upcoming shows over the next few weeks.”  


Sixx:A.M. will continue their Modern Vintage Tour playing a limited number of dates across North America throughout the end of April, several nights of which are already sold out. While on the road, the prolific band is also already in the process of writing music for their upcoming fourth full length album which is set to release in 2016.


Known as strong advocates of new music, Sixx:A.M. consciously curated a global lineup for the current tour by bringing along special guests Apocalyptica from Finland and Vamps from Japan to introduce their fans to some of the most exciting new rock music from around the world.


Bassist Nikki Sixx notes: "Sixx:A.M. has always been about new music and unique creative concepts ever since our first album and the book. We think globally as a band and can’t wait to play our music live all over the world next year so it only made sense to invite some of the best international rock bands out there to join us on our first headline tour and share the excitement we feel about new rock music with our audience".


To round out their live lineup, Sixx:A.M. have added drummer, Dustin Steinke of Bleeker Ridge into the mix for the tour, as well as backup singers Melissa Harding and Amber VanBuskirk. Guitarist DJ Ashba shares:  “We really wanted to create a great, over the top live experience on this tour like all the artists of the late '60s and early '70s did who influenced our music. Dustin is an amazing drummer who fits in perfectly with James, Nikki & myself. Adding him, as well as singers Melissa and Amber to our touring lineup really allows us to create the big sounding show we had always envisioned for Sixx:A.M live."


Coinciding with the tour start last night, the band also launched the brand new lyric video to the song “Get Ya Some” from their current album Modern Vintage.

Sixx:A.M.’s previous two albums, The Heroin Diaries and This Is Gonna Hurt – both of which were accompanied by NY Times bestselling books of the same name - have sold over 600,000 copies and spawned two number one radio singles, “Life Is Beautiful” and “This Is Gonna Hurt”.
