Black Veil Brides, Hollywood’s new theatrical rock sensation, released their debut full-length record, We Stitch These Wounds, last week to an overwhelming response from fans around the country. The debut sold 10,690 copies in its first week, landing it in the 36th position on the Billboard Top 200 chart, while also reaching the number two spot on the iTunes “Rock” chart in its first day; a humbling and rewarding experience that vocalist, Andy Six, credits to the legions of dedicated Black Veil Brides fans.

“There is no greater feeling then knowing your music affects people, and our fans consistently show the world that Black Veil Brides are a force to be reckoned with. We are an army and we are in this together! We thank everyone who has purchased the record and have helped it to reach #36 on the billboard charts. We love you and I promise we are just getting started!”

We Stitch These Wounds hit stores on July 20th on Standby Records. The debut can be purchased through the Standby webstore at: http://www.districtlines.com/Black-Veil-Brides, or on iTunes at: http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/we-stitch-these-wounds/id380911797. In addition, a special deluxe edition of the album is exclusively for sale at Hot Topic stores nationally. The special packaging features a bonus track as well as an acoustic rendition of the YouTube hit “Knives and Pens”.

The third annual SUNSET STRIP MUSIC FESTIVAL (SSMF) set for Aug. 26-28, 2010, has finalized its 2010 outdoor line-up for the Saturday, August 28 street closure with the additions of hip-hop breakthrough artist KID CUDI and TRAVIE MCCOY, whose hit single “Billionaire” has been No. 3 on the Billboard Pop Songs chart and a top 5 Billboard Hot 100 track in recent weeks. Performing on two stages are headliners THE SMASHING PUMPKINS; 2010 honoree SLASH featuring MYLES KENNEDY and an appearance by FERGIE; COMMON; SEMI PRECIOUS WEAPONS; STEEL PANTHER; NEON TREES; BIG B and more.

For the second time in The Strip’s illustrious history, the street will close to traffic between San Vicente Boulevard and Doheny Drive so thousands of fans can experience a diverse sonic extravaganza of rock, hip-hop, rap, electro and more.

Hot on the heels of an international tour, the pioneering PUMPKINS will deliver cuts from their TEARGARDEN BY KALEIDYSCOPE project as well as much more from their extremely revered catalog. Sunset Strip icon SLASH will be honored at a special tribute event at House of Blues on Thursday, August 26, and it’s the perfect prelude to his big outdoor performance with MYLES KENNEDY and FERGIE–vocalists on his smash solo debut album–two days later. The SSMF also will showcase live performances in The Roxy Theatre, the Whisky A Go-Go, Viper Room, Key Club, Cat Club and House of Blues on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights; plus more than 50 bands, two outdoor stages and a full day of music in the venues on Aug. 28.

As in previous years, the SSMF will honor a figure who is synonymous with The Sunset Strip for their contribution to the history of The Strip as well as the music industry. This year’s honoree is SLASH. Previous recipients of this honor have been Ozzy Osbourne (2009) and Sunset Strip club owners Lou Adler, Mario Maglieri and Elmer Valentine (2008).

Last year’s street fest drew 10,000 people to The Strip. The audience was treated to super-charged performances from Ozzy Osbourne, Korn and many more. But the music’s not all SSMF has to offer either. The street scene is filled with two full-scale stages, fans, food trucks, beer gardens, merch vendors, VIP lounge and interactive experiences throughout the day. This year’s festival also includes large 10-foot art guitar sculptures as part of Gibson GuitarTown on The Sunset Strip. Following the Smashing Pumpkins’ performance, bands will continue to play into the night in venues within the street closure, all of which will be free of charge to SSMF ticket holders.

General admission, VIP and 3-Day VIP tickets are on sale through Ticketmaster. Street fest tickets are $49.50 in advance ($65 day of at box office) and VIP street fest tickets, which include access to a private tented area with full no-host bar and seating area, are available for $100 in advance. A limited number of three-day “VIP” passes (which include entrance to Slash’s tribute on August 26, the clubs all three nights and access to VIP tent at street fest) will be $250. There will also be individual ticket sales for The Sunset Strip clubs on Thursday and Friday nights. The SSMF is donating a portion of all tickets sold to the Los Angeles Youth Network (LAYN), a charity personally selected by honoree Slash. LAYN’s mission is to end homelessness, one kid at a time, by providing shelter, food and counseling for the abused, neglected and abandoned.

SSMF 2010’s proud supporting sponsors include Virgin America, V Australia, Jack Daniel’s, Budweiser, Mini Cooper, Ticketmaster, Vitaminwater, Gibson Guitar, 98.7fm, Andaz West Hollywood, Brand X, Whole Foods West Hollywood, City of West Hollywood, West Hollywood Marketing & Visitors Bureau and Signature Creative.

For those of you keeping score, this will make it 45 live shows for Lisa Ann in just three weeks.

“It’s my 2010 summer tour,” she said. “I’m tearing around the country like a rock star and every night is awesome. Great clubs, great fans and great fun. It doesn’t get any better than this.”

For those who haven’t been lucky enough to see her live this year, she’s had plenty of new releases (how about that appearance in Elegant Angel’s Massive Facials 2?!) and her website, thelisaann.com, is constantly being updated with fresh material. Coming up on Aug. 3 after she returns from North Carolina, Lisa will be doing a live show on her site. Set your alarms for 6 pm.

Also, next week she will be announcing what kind of scene she’ll be performing live on Aug. 12 for brazzers.com.

Fans won’t want to forget to vote for Lisa in the NightMoves Award Show contest. Voting ends Sept. 15 and can be done at http://nightmovesusa.com/vote.php. Lisa is nominated for Best MILF Performer. And voting is still open for the 2010 Exotic Dancer Awards, where Lisa is up for Adult Movie Entertainer of the Year, so fans will want to visit http://www.theedawards.com/nominees2010 to cast their ballot.

An undeniable presence in the 1980s, Dee Snider is instantly recognizable as the front man of heavy metal band Twisted Sister. But really, he’s just one of six – a regular guy navigating life in the suburbs of New York with his powerhouse wife, Suzette, and their four kids. They are an off-beat but tight-knit family with children who are fiercely independent and strong-willed: Jesse is an aspiring rock musician, husband and new father; Shane is the resident comic; Cody’s a budding filmmaker; and Cheyenne is daddy’s little girl, making the tough transition to teenager. They’re a rock-solid family of unique individuals not afraid to speak their minds. Despite their father’s rock star status, they are just like every other family… only not at all.

Carpet and Drapes
Dee decides to get his “Suzette Forever” tattoo redone as a surprise on their anniversary, but is floored to find out that Suzette started the process of removing her “Dee Forever” tattoo. After this ruins their anniversary dinner, Suzette is on a mission to fix things with Dee and designs a new tattoo that she later seductively reveals. Throughout the anniversary plans, the kids realize they’ve gotten to learn a little “too much information” about their parent’s sex life, especially when they find a packet of pink hair dye not intended for their mom’s locks.

So it turns out Dee Snider is a romantic. It’s been 34 years since Dee and his wife Suzette first started dating and he wants to do something special. Something symbolic. He gets his “Suzette Forever” tattoo redone – not just because it has faded over the years – but he wants to show the world his commitment and passion for Suzette.

After getting the tattoo, Suzette suddenly becomes the more romantic of the two and asks Dee out on a date. He happily accepts. This time – no dinner. Straight to the hotel, where Suzette has several surprises in store for Dee. After some flowers and the presentation of the new tattoo, Suzette puts on a school girl’s outfit and does a little lap dance for Dee. He then proceeds to do the encore in the bedroom.

Baptism By Snider
Twisted Sister lead singer, Dee Snider, is the lone voice of reason when his family packs a whirlwind of activity into one week. Their eldest son, Jesse, wants to have a christening for his daughter, but a touching tribute song he writes for the event opens up old wounds between father and son. Then the family heads to the city for son Shane’s stand-up act, but his brother Cody nearly gets into a fight with a comic that disrespects the Snider clan. Finally, the family needs to pull it all together in time to stage a very touching… and very twisted christening.

This episode starts in a whirlwind of activity. Everybody has something going on and it all has to work around the christening of Jesse Snider’s daughter. Dee is on his way to the studio to work on a song Jesse has written for his daughter’s special occasion.

Like Dee said, you can’t make judgments about his family based on the songs he sang or the way he looked in Twisted Sister. If you want to know about the Sniders all you have to do is talk to his kids.
