SPIDERS & SNAKES Making New Moves As 2007 Comes To A Close

December 13, 2007

Los Angeles glitter and glam rock heroes SPIDERS & SNAKES are celebrating the release of their new "Melodrama" album on Corporate Punishment Records (distributed by Koch Entertainment) by making a few waves to close out 2007 and kick the new year off in grand style.

The band has three songs — "Friends Like You", "Shoot Me Down" and a cover of the BAY CITY ROLLERS classic "Yesterday's Hero" — featured on Cleopatra Records' digital-only release "Metal School 101", which is said to be a top seller on iTunes.

They are set to perform at the annual Cleopatra Records Christmas Party held on December 19, 2007 at The Viper Room on the Sunset Strip in Hollywood, CA alongside such artists as JETBOY, BLACKBOARD JUNGLE, PEPPERMINT CREEPS, DR. KNOW and more. This will be the band's last performance of the year.

SPIDERS & SNAKES' Lizzie Grey and Timothy Jay were recently featured in the Chrome Dreams DVD release "Duns N' Roses: 2 Classic Albums Under Review: Use Your Illusion I and II". The duo were interviewed about the impact that GUNS N' ROSES had on the Hollywood, California music scene and also Lizzie Grey's personal involvement with the various GN'R bandmembers. Drummer Jay gives his take as well on the GUNS N' ROSES phenomena — having been part of the infamous band LONDON with SPIDERS & SNAKES co-founder Lizzie Grey (LONDON at one time or another featured Izzy Stradlin, Steven Adler and Slash),Tim also worked during the day at both Capitol-EMI and Metal Blade Records in the GN'R era, ironically having previously interfaced professionally with Lonn Friend and Malcolm Dome, who are also featured in this documentary film. Snippets of the new SPIDERS & SNAKES song "Shoot Me Down" (from the brand new album "Melodrama") were used by the producers of the film as background music in this unauthorized documentary film.

Lastly, SPIDERS & SNAKES will be a part of the special "Hollywood Rocks" triple vinyl album released in early 2008 through Cleopatra Records. The release will be a limited run of only 500 hand-numbered and coloured copies designed in a custom, hand-packaged boxset. The label hand-picked the rare SPIDERS & SNAKES track "The End of Marylou" (from their 1991 debut EP "Arachnomania") for this set.

What's next for SPIDERS & SNAKES? First a music video is in the works with famed director/producer David Sterling from the Sterling Film Factory ("Gothic Vampires from Hell", "The Curse of Lizzy Borden") on a track to be named later. In January 2008 the band will be signing autographs at the NAMM show in Anaheim, California at the Cleopatra Records booth and will be performing as part of a live concert series at am as-yet-unannounced venue as part of the NAMM concert events. The band has also scheduled a last-minute performance for this Saturday, Dec. 15 at Club Vodka / The Knitting Factory in Hollywood, CA. The band's set time will be at 7:00 p.m. sharp.
