NIKKI SIXX Schedules NAMM Signing Sessions

January 17, 2008

According to NikkiSixx.net, MÖTLEY CRÜE/SIXX: A.M. bassist Nikki Sixx will take part in several signing sessions at this year's winter NAMM (National Association of Music Merchants) show, which takes place January 18-20 at the Anaheim Convention Center in Anaheim, California. Nikki will appear at the following booths: Ovation Guitars, Basson Sound, Dean Markley Strings. Also appearing at NAMM this weekend will be MÖTLEY CRÜE guitarist Mick Mars and Nikki's SIXX: A.M. bandmate D.J. Ashba.

The Pulse of Radio reports that the rumored tour by Nikki Sixx side project SIXX: A.M. is starting to take shape, according to inside sources. The MÖTLEY CRÜE bassist and his new act will likely hit the road in late April and early May for a run through 10 or 12 major U.S. markets. No word yet on exact dates or venues.

Sixx wrote and recorded the album with longtime friends James Michael and D.J. Ashba and has resisted the idea of turning the project into an actual band. But Sixx told The Pulse of Radio that may all be changing. "It seems that people have been able to really feel that it's a band, they really feel that it's something that they can get behind and they can go, 'You know, I really support these guys in what they're doing,'" he said. "It's interesting 'cause we never planned on playing live together, and then we played live together, and that went off so well that I think we accidentally started a band."

Rumors initially surfaced that SIXX: A.M. would tour in February, although Sixx shot down those reports. The project has only played live once so far, last fall at a Utah radio festival.

The SIXX: A.M. album serves as the "soundtrack" to Sixx's recently published book, "The Heroin Diaries: A Year in the Life of a Shattered Rock Star".

The CD's current single, "Life is Beautiful", is likely to be followed by "Accidents Can Happen".

Twenty-five percent of Sixx's royalties from "The Heroin Diaries" goes to Running Wild In The Night, a charity he established in conjunction with Covenant House to rescue homeless and runaway youth from the streets.

Meanwhile, the CRÜE itself is said to be "four songs deep" into its next album, but details are being kept under wraps.
