LOS ANGELES, February 16, 2011 – Premiere Radio Networks is pleased to announce that this month marks the one-year anniversary of Sixx Sense with Nikki Sixx and The Side Show Countdown with Nikki Sixx.  In the last year, the international rock icon, founder/bassist/songwriter of the world-renowned band Mötley Crüe and chart-topping band Sixx:A.M. (Sixx, Dj Ashba and James Michael), New York Times best-selling author, clothing designer, philanthropist and photographer has taken rock/alternative radio by storm, attracting millions of listeners as he broadcasts his unique brand of music and lifestyle programming to more than 70 radio stations across the country. 

As part of the anniversary celebration, Sixx announced today that he and his bandmates James Michael and Dj Ashba will world premiere the video for Sixx:A.M.’s new single “Lies of the Beautiful People” on www.SixxSense.com tonight, February 16, at 9 p.m. PT/midnight ET.  “Lies of the Beautiful People” is the debut track on the companion album, of the same name, to Sixx’s highly-anticipated new book This Is Gonna Hurt: Music, Photography and Life Through the Distorted Lens of Nikki Sixx.  The book is a combination of powerful prose and dramatic photographs, featuring an arresting, deeply personal look through the eyes of an artist at a stark, post-addiction world.  This Is Gonna Hurt will be released April 12 and now, due to the overwhelming response and fan demand, the full soundtrack CD release has been bumped up to an earlier May 3 release date.  For more information, please visit www.NikkiSixx.net.

Top affiliates broadcasting Sixx’s radio programs include KYSR-FM/Los Angeles, KEGL-FM/Dallas/Ft. Worth, WKLS-FM/Atlanta, WWDC-FM/Washington, D.C., WRIF-FM/Detroit, WXTB-FM/Tampa, KBPI-FM/Denver, WHQG-FM/Milwaukee and KZEP-FM/San Antonio.  In addition to his success on the radio dial, the Sixx Sense with Nikki Sixx channel on Clear Channel Radio’s digital platform iheartradio launched last October and is quickly attracting mobile listeners in droves.  Available via iPhone, iPod Touch, Blackberry and Android devices, iheartradio has more than 12 million total unique downloads. 

“Nikki dove into the radio waters head first, and his hard work, creativity and originality have made the first year of Sixx Sense with Nikki Sixx and The Side Show Countdown with Nikki Sixx a tremendous success,” stated Jennifer Leimgruber, Premiere Radio Networks SVP of Programming.  “We’re extremely proud of what we have accomplished so far and look forward to reaching many more milestones together.”

Since launching last February, Sixx Sense with Nikki Sixx and The Side Show Countdown with Nikki Sixx are fast becoming the place to hear it first for guests from all walks of life, including rock royalty, the first man on the moon, authors, actors and everyone in between.  Dave Grohl, Jared Leto, Lemmy Kilmister, Perez Hilton, Rob Halford, CSI creator Anthony Zuiker, Four Agreements author Don Miguel Ruiz, Dog The Bounty Hunter and others have joined Sixx and his Sixx Sense co-host Kerri Kasem for their special brand of conversation.  In addition, they’ve world-premiered albums and songs for artists and bands like Buckcherry, Drowning Pool and Slash, hosted the announcement for last summer’s OZZFest and broadcasted from Rock on the Range, America’s premiere destination rock festival.
