SIXX:A.M.'s JAMES MICHAEL Launches New Band LOWLIGHT REVELRY, Releases Debut Album

LOWLIGHT REVELRY is the latest musical chapter from James Michael, the multi-platinum songwriter, producer, and voice of SIXX:A.M.

After years spent writing, recording, and touring on the world stage, Michael traded Los Angeles for Northern Ireland, where a renewed passion for making music led to the formation of LOWLIGHT REVELRY.

Michael joined forces with guitarist Brian McCafferty and bassist Dixie Doherty, and the three began shaping a new body of work that draws on his signature blend of powerful melodies, emotionally charged lyrics, and modern rock production. McCafferty and Doherty bring their own musical instincts and influences to the band, giving LOWLIGHT REVELRY an identity that is distinct from Michael's previous work.

The band's debut album, "No Time For Shooting Stars", is a reflection on the fleeting nature of life, the choices we make, and the importance of embracing the time we have.

For longtime fans of Michael's work and those discovering his music for the first time, LOWLIGHT REVELRY represents both a continuation of his musical journey and the beginning of something entirely new.

"No Time For Shooting Stars" can be streamed in its entirety in the YouTube playlist below. (Note: After each song, the YouTube player automatically jumps to the next song in the playlist.)

Originally formed in 2007, SIXX:A.M. — whose name is a combination of all of the members' last names (Nikki Sixx, D.J. Ashba, James Michael) — emerged as a passion project for Sixx, initially coming together to record a companion soundtrack for his The New York Times best-selling memoir "The Heroin Diaries". Over the years, the trio toured the globe and released six studio albums, a live album, multiple hit singles, including "Life Is Beautiful", "Stars", "Lies Of The Beautiful People", and — from "Prayers For The Blessed" — "Maybe It's Time". SIXX:A.M. announced their hiatus in 2021, marking the end of an era for the band.

To date, SIXX:A.M. has three U.S. Billboard top 20 albums and a string of hit singles, with its full catalog consisting of five studio albums — "The Heroin Diaries Soundtrack" (2007),"This Is Gonna Hurt" (2011),"Modern Vintage" (2014),"Prayers For The Damned" and "Prayers For The Blessed" (2016) — and three EPs, "X-Mas In Hell" (2008); "Live Is Beautiful" (2008) and "7" (2011).

SIXX:A.M. released "Prayers For The Damned & Blessed Deluxe Edition" in June 2025 via Endurance Music Group. The album was made available as a special limited-edition smoke-colored three-LP set as well as on all streaming platforms.

Nearly a decade after the release of SIXX:A.M.'s 2016 albums "Prayers For The Damned" and "Prayers For The Blessed", this deluxe edition set featured both albums together with brand-new renditions of "Maybe It's Time" (Piano Version),"Prayers For The Damned" (Piano Version),and an alternative mix of "We Will Not Go Quietly".

With over 500 million streams across digital platforms, SIXX:A.M.'s music continues to resonate with fans worldwide. As the first time both original albums have been available on vinyl in years, this is a must-have for collectors of rock history and fans alike.

"Hits" was released in October 2021 via Better Noise Music. The album was a retrospective celebration of SIXX:A.M.'s biggest hits and fan-favorite songs that also included five previously unheard tracks and mixes, marking the band's first official album with new material since 2016.

Inspired by the release of Sixx's "The First 21: How I Became Nikki Sixx", SIXX:A.M. members Michael, Ashba and Sixx made "Hits" available as a companion piece to the book.
