THE LAST VEGAS: First Single Posted Online

November 25, 2008

"I'm Bad", the first single from THE LAST VEGAS, the winners of Guitar Center On-Stage, is available exclusively on AOL and on iTunes, just two weeks after beating out almost 8,000 entrants for a chance to open for MÖTLEY CRÜE on their upcoming "Saints Of Los Angeles 2009 Tour". THE LAST VEGAS, who were hand picked by MÖTLEY CRÜE as part of Guitar Center's major effort to organically support and elevate new artists, also received a recording deal with Eleven Seven Music and Tenth Street Entertainment (MÖTLEY's label and management company),$25,000 in cash, $20,000 in gear from Gibson and more. The U.S. tour, which kicks off on February 2, also features HINDER and THEORY OF A DEADMAN.

The Chicago-based band was in the recording studio less than 12 short hours after their Guitar Center On-Stage victory at the world famous Whisky A Go-Go in Los Angeles on November 10. The band joined veteran rock producers DJ Ashba and Marti Frederiksen, quickly writing, producing and recording their first single, "I'm Bad". Nikki Sixx, co-founding member of MÖTLEY CRÜE and President of Eleven Seven Music, will be hands on in the development of THE LAST VEGAS.

"The overall talent and energy of THE LAST VEGAS surpassed our expectations," said MÖTLEY CRÜE's Vince Neil. "MÖTLEY CRÜE is excited to pass the torch on to these amazing musicians, just as Ozzy did for us over 25 years ago."

"When artists talk about when they 'made it,' they always say it 'happened overnight,' but it really has been an overnight phenomena for us," said THE LAST VEGAS frontman Chad Cherry. "From opening for MÖTLEY at the Palladium just four days after they announced we had won the contest to releasing our first single 'I'm Bad' — Guitar Center On-Stage has changed our lives in an instant."

"We have proven that Guitar Center On-Stage is a revolutionary platform that works," said Norman Hajjar, EVP and Chief Marketing Officer for Guitar Center. "The organic nature of the program and the buzz surrounding the anticipated release of their first single fits perfectly with Guitar Center's aim to support aspiring artists in the most crucial moment of their careers. We can't wait to see what’s next for THE LAST VEGAS."
