MTLEY CRE Keeping Lid On 'Cre Fest' Production
May 29, 2008MTLEY CRE's Cre Fest tour begins just over a month from now, but the band has yet to reveal any details about their plans for the show's production and staging, according to The Pulse of Radio. The CRE have always been known for over-the-top live shows and bassist Nikki Sixx said in a conference call with reporters this week that they want to keep this one a surprise as long as possible. "You know, with the Internet and fans that are coming to the show, you know, such a large percentage of them are online. You know, when you do your show your first opening night, the last city on the tour already knows the set list and kind of the gist of what you're doing. We try to keep it under wraps as long as possible just to make it more exciting for the fans too."
Cre Fest kicks off on July 1 in West Palm Beach, Florida, with BUCKCHERRY, PAPA ROACH, TRAPT and Sixx's side project SIXX: A.M. joining the CRE on the 40-city tour.
The CRE will release their first studio album since 2000, "Saints of Los Angeles", on June 24.
The album's title track and first single is selling well thanks to both Rock Band and Guitar Hero. According to RollingStone.com, it sold five times more copies through Rock Band as it did on iTunes after a month.
