TWISTED SISTER To Be Presented With Gold Plaques At NYC In-Store

June 22, 2009

TWISTED SISTER will make back-to-back in-store appearances in New York City and Long Island on Tuesday, June 30. Dee Snider, Jay Jay French, Eddie Ojeda, Mark Mendoza, and A.J. Pero will all be on hand to celebrate the release of the 25th anniversary edition of "Stay Hungry", out June 30 on Rhino.

12:30 p.m - J&R Music, 23 Park Row, New York City, NY
7:30 p.m. - Looney Tunes, 31 Brookvale Ave, West Babylon, NY

Constantine Maroulis from the five-time Tony-nominated musical "Rock Of Ages" will be on hand at J&R Music World to present the band with RIAA-certified gold plaques for the single "We're Not Gonna Take It".

TWISTED SISTER will perform on "Live with Regis and Kelly", a syndicated American television morning talk show hosted by Regis Philbin and Kelly Ripa, on Thursday, July 16.

Any music fan that buys the CD or vinyl of "Stay Hungry 25th Anniversary Edition" in any participating independent record store will receive a free gift from the band: a DVD of the TWISTED SISTER 1984 "Uncut Live At San Bernadino" concert. Originally broadcast on MTV back in the day as the "Stay Hungry Live" concert, it's been commercially unavailable for years and never available as DVD. June 30, 2009 is the only day and the only way this DVD is going to be made available and only through participating, independent record stores and will be limited to the stock on hand in each location.

Commented guitarist Jay Jay French, "While other bands have made exclusive deals with big box chains and discounters, TWISTED SISTER remembers all the independent record shops who have supported us through the years."

A list of the participating independent retailers running this promotion will be posted on TwistedSister.com on Wednesday, June 24.
