Slipknot unleashed "The Negative One" earlier this month, marking the groundbreaking band's first new music in more than six years. The song immediately hit #1 on Billboard's Trending 140 chart, with the band and track both quickly becoming trending topics on Twitter globally and in the US. The track is currently sitting atop the metal singles chart for its third straight week and counting. Meanwhile its nightmarish companion video – directed by the band's M. Shawn Crahan (Clown) – has quickly drawn more than 2 million individual views at Slipknot's official YouTube channel: www.youtube.com/watch?v=sgA7KIwKlOE.
Slipknot have also announced the Prepare For Hell Tour - a major North American headline tour with very special guests Korn and openers King 810 - kicking off October 29 in El Paso, TX and traversing North America through December 7.

The nationwide run will see Slipknot coming hot off the heels of their US live return at their own KNOTFEST, with two unique sets at their very own three-day metal and heavy music destination festival slated for October 24 through 26 at San Bernardino, California's San Manuel Amphitheater & Campgrounds. Powered by Rockstar Energy Drink and curated by Slipknot themselves, KNOTFEST will see Slipknot headline the Main Stage on both Saturday, October 25 and Sunday, October 26, offering fans a taste of the upcoming album with a unique concert experience each night.

"Playing two different sets over two nights at one location is a new experience in the history of this band. This year's KNOTFEST is going to be on another level."
KNOTFEST tickets are available now at www.knotfest.com, while tickets for the Prepare For Hell tour go on sale September 5 at www.livenation.com and through the Live Nation mobile app. All fans who purchase their tickets through October 5 will receive a digital download of .5: The Gray Chapter upon its official release. 
Slipknot emerged at the tail end of the Twentieth Century and quickly established itself as the most enigmatic, provocative and aggressive collective of the modern era. 1999's SLIPKNOT stands as a true milestone, named by Metal Hammer as the "Best Debut of the Last 25 Years." The album fast earned 2x RIAA platinum certification, with each of Slipknot's following releases – including 4 video albums – all receiving additional platinum in the US and around the world. All told, the band have 11 Platinum and 38 Gold record certifications around the world. Slipknot's fanbase is unwavering and they are global - the band's most recent studio effort, 2008's platinum certified ALL HOPE IS GONE, debuted at #1 in seven countries including the U.S.
Surely as iconic as any band in the annals of rock, Slipknot has starred on the cover of innumerable national and international publications, from Rolling Stone, SPIN, and Alternative Press to Guitar World, Revolver and Billboard. What's more, Slipknot has received myriad honors, awards and nominations, including a GRAMMY AWARD® for "Best Metal Performance" as well as six further GRAMMY nods, multiple Kerrang! Awards, Revolver Golden Gods Awards, NME Awards and Metal Hammer Golden Gods Awards as well as nods for both MTV Video Music Awards and MTV Europe Music Awards.
Slipknot has ruled live stages across the planet since their beginning, and currently headline tours and international festivals including Mayhem in the US, the UK's Download Festival, Brazil's Monsters of Rock and Rock In Rio, Australia's Soundwave Festival, and the bands own Ozzfest and Rockstar Energy Drink Mayhem Festival. 2012 saw the inaugural KNOTFEST draw over 45,000 fans to a pair of daylong festival events headlined and curated by the band.

THE VALORY MUSIC CO. EXPANDS ROSTER, SIGNS LEVI HUMMON TO RECORD DEAL

Singer-Songwriter Brings Fresh Style to the Big Machine Label Group Imprint


Pictured (L-R): Back Row – Iconic Entertainment’s Brian O’Neil, BMLG’s Malcolm Mimms, Allison Jones, Andrew Kautz &
Iconic Entertainment’s Ally Rodriguez
Front Row – BMLG’s Scott Borchetta, Levi Hummon & Iconic Entertainment’s Fletcher Foster
Seth Hellman for The Valory Music Co.

 

Nashville, TN (August 25, 2014) – THE VALORY MUSIC CO. announces the signing of LEVI HUMMON to its artist roster, which includes superstar Reba, chart-topping stars Justin Moore, Brantley Gilbert, Thomas Rhett as well as legendary band The Mavericks and newcomer RaeLynn. The young Nashville native, whose penchant for songwriting is rooted in his DNA, brings a fresh sound to the Big Machine Label Group imprint.

“As our Country format ebbs and flows, it’s always so important from an A&R perspective to look past what’s happening now and make some moves on the future direction,” said BMLG President & CEO Scott Borchetta. “Levi’s unique vision and incredible artistry is exactly the kind of musical move we want to make now. This is a very significant artist signing.”

Growing up with musical influences all around him, Levi credits his early lessons in songwriting to his Grammy Award winning father, Marcus Hummon ("God Bless The Broken Road") and inspiration from his mother Becca Stevens, who founded the socially conscious and philanthropic organization Thistle Farms. The father-son pair has performed together on multiple stages throughout the years, most recently during the 2014 CMA Music Festival. Through Levi's childhood and studying visual art in college, the 23- year-old storyteller melds his life experiences into honing his craft. Learning to bring his own ideas and unique vision to co-writes, Levi has had the opportunity to collaborate with 2014 ACM Songwriter of the Year Shane MacAnally, Andrew Dorff, Josh Osborne, Jonathan Singleton, Nathan Barlowe Brandy Clark and Trevor Rosen among others. While developing his personal sound during these sessions and on his own, Levi caught the attention of Hall of Fame Songwriter Desmond Child, which lead to "Make It Love" being featured in Two: The Story of Roman & Nero and inclusion on the short list of nominations for the Oscar's Best Original Song.

“It really feels like a dream come true to be a part of the Valory/BMLG family! I've gotten to know a lot of the staff already, and it feels like one big family,” said Levi. “This label home already feels so supportive and is a perfect fit for my music. I also want to give a special shout out to my dad, who has been both a friend and mentor to me through this process, and a huge thank you to Desmond Child and Fletcher Foster for their belief in me."
Levi is currently working on his debut album, due out next year. Fletcher Foster's Iconic Entertainment Group will serve as management.

TIM MCGRAW RACES TOWARD ALBUM RELEASE WITH BRAND NEW SINGLE "SHOTGUN RIDER" - AVAILABLE AT RADIO TODAY
 
American Express Announces UNSTAGED with McGraw And Director Bennett Miller – Live From NYC on Sept. 16
 

Cover Art Courtesy of Big Machine Records 
 
Nashville, TN  – Country icon Tim McGraw is preparing for the release of his upcoming album, SUNDOWN HEAVEN TOWN (Big Machine Records), with a brand new single, "Shotgun Rider."  The breezy track touts romantic notions with an infectious melody and is available to radio today via Play MPE.

"This is one of those songs that really paints a picture and sets a mood," says McGraw.  "In my mind, you look over and see the person that you love next to you sitting in the front seat, and you think, 'How good do I have it?  Life is perfect.'  There is a certain warmth to this song and several others like it that really establish the tone for the whole album."
 

As McGraw eyes the release of SUNDOWN HEAVEN TOWN, he'll team up with award-winning director Bennett Miller (Moneyball, Capote) on release day, Sept. 16, for the popular live stream music series “American Express Unstaged” at New York City’s Hammerstein Ballroom at 9:00 PM ET.  The event will be live streamed at amexunstaged.com

Over the course of McGraw's illustrious career, the three time GRAMMY award-winning entertainer has accumulated 35 No. one's, 54 Top 10 hits, over 40 million albums sold, 14 CMA's, 15 ACM's, 10 AMA's and countless other honors.  His upcoming album, SUNDOWN HEAVEN TOWN, marks his second release on Big Machine Records and brings forth new collection of songs that capture a distinctly country and a distinctly McGraw sound.  For more information, visit timmcgraw.com

ACE FREHLEY BREAKS RECORDS WITH NEW ALBUM SPACE INVADER

TOP 10 DEBUT MARKS HIGHEST DEBUT FOR ANY KISS SOLO RECORD EVER

2014 Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame inductee and former KISS guitarist Ace Frehley has made history with his new album Space Invader, which debuted at #9 on the Top 200 Chart this week.  The LP scores the highest charting position of ANY Kiss solo album ever, and marks Frehley's first return to the Top 10 since KISS's 1998 Pyscho Circus reunion album.   The album has also sold better in first week sales than Kiss' recently released Kiss 40 album. Internationally, Space Invader has debuted #1 on the Independent Chart and #16 on the Top 200 Chart in Canada, Top 40 in Switzerland and Sweden, and hit a historic benchmark for the first time ever as a solo artist in Germany.

Space Invader, Frehley's first studio album in five years, has also received praise from critics.  Rolling Stone wrote, "Gene Simmons has claimed Ace Frehley doesn't deserve to wear Kiss' Kabuki clown paint, but the former Spaceman's first solo LP in five years says otherwise," while
Associated Press hailed, "...the original Kiss lead guitarist has recorded his best solo album since his groundbreaking self-titled album in 1978."   Paste also confirmed, "Space Invader is a good rock album, and it’s an even better guitar record."

Frehley stopped by The Tonight Show prior to his album release to sit in with legendary house band The Roots to perform his classic hit "New York Groove." Watch here.

Space Invader features nine brand new original songs, including the first single, “Gimme a Feelin'," as well as a cover of Steve Miller’s classic rock staple “The Joker." Frehley also tapped long time friend and artist Ken Kelly to create the album art for Space Invader. Kelly created the iconic cover art for two of KISS’s best selling LPS, Destroyer (1976) and Love Gun (1977).

Widely known as the original “Space Ace" and founding guitarist for 16 cumulative years (over 2 tenures) of the multi platinum selling rock band KISS, Frehley is demonstrably the most popular original member.  In addition to having the best selling solo album career (vintage or current) among the original foursome, Frehley’s self titled Ace Frehley (1978), went on to sell over one million copies, producing the only Top 40 single, “New York Groove,” from any of the legendary KISS solo albums. The massive hit was most recently featured in an episode of cult show Entourage and was also KISS’ second best selling download in 2012, besting such KISS Army anthems as “I Was Made For Lovin’ You,” “Beth” and “Calling Dr. Love” even after 36 years.

Since departing from KISS, Frehley went on to release four more solo albums and one live EP including his most recent effort, Anomaly in 2009, which debuted at #27 on the Billboard Top 200 chart.  Ace also released an autobiography titled "No Regrets," which debuted at #10 on the NY Times Hardcover Non-Fiction best seller list in November 2011.  
 
THE LAST INTERNATIONALE ANNOUNCES U.S. HEADLINE TOUR

BAND MAKES ITS NATIONAL TELEVISION DEBUT TONIGHT ON
"LATE SHOW WITH DAVID LETTERMAN"

THE LAST INTERNATIONALE TO SUPPORT ROBERT PLANT IN NOVEMBER

DEBUT ALBUM, WE WILL REIGN, IS OUT NOW ON EPIC RECORDS

The Last Internationale will launch a North American headline tour on September 5 in Las Vegas, NV at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino's Vinyl nightclub. The band, which played numerous summer festivals including Lollapalooza and British Summer Time in Hyde Park, will also perform at the Monster Energy Aftershock Festival in Sacramento, CA (September 13), the Sunset Strip Music Festival in West Hollywood, CA (September 20) and the Austin City Limits Festival (October 5). In November, The Last Internationale will go abroad to support Robert Plant. See below for itinerary.

Tonight the band will make its national television debut on "Late Show with David Letterman," performing "Life, Liberty and Pursuit of Indian Blood." The explosive track is from The Last Internationale's debut album, We Will Reign, which was just released by Epic Records.

New York City natives Delila Paz and Edgey Pires quickly forged a reputation for poetic, socially conscious songs and incendiary live performances, prompting Rolling Stone to declare, "New York's counterculture spirit lives on in The Last Internationale." The pair spent Thanksgiving 2013 at the home of Tom Morello (Rage Against the Machine, The Nightwatchman, Audioslave) and when they mentioned their need for a drummer, Morello connected them with Brad Wilk (Rage Against the Machine, Audioslave). After hearing their material and bonding with Edgey and Delila, Wilk signed on. The trio recorded We Will Reign with producer Brendan O'Brien (Bruce Springsteen, Pearl Jam, Neil Young) in Los Angeles.

The Last Internationale recently opened for Neil Young in Liverpool and has toured with such artists as Weezer and Kings of Leon. The band has won praise for its riveting live shows, with Yahoo! Music noting, "The strikingly fervent, politically-charged rock band The Last Internationale stands out" and Billboard hailing their "hard-hitting modern rock mélange."

Third Annual Aaron Lewis Invitational Charity Golf Tournament and Fourth Annual Aaron Lewis & Friends Benefit Concert Raise $250,000 for It Takes a Community Foundation
 
Lewis and Wife Pledge Grants to Multiple Nonprofit Organizations
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (August 21, 2014) –  The fourth annual Aaron Lewis & Friends Benefit Concert, held on June 27, and the third annual Aaron Lewis Invitational Golf Tournament, held on August 9, raised a combined total of $250,000 for the It Takes a Community Foundation (ITAC), a charity founded by Lewis and his wife in 2010. One hundred percent of the proceeds were donated to the foundation, which helps to revive rural communities across New England by providing assistance that strengthens, enriches and preserves local towns. The Lewis’s foundation supports initiatives that improve community life — particularly the lives of children — within rural areas.

“It Takes a Community began when my wife and I joined with neighbors in our small adopted home town to keep the doors of our community school open after state funding was eliminated due to district consolation,” explains Aaron. “It started out as something very personal and close-to-home, but is morphing into something bigger. If we can make a difference in our little corner of Massachusetts, couldn't we give additional worthy organizations in our area a similar leg up?”

Helping to reopen and fund the RH Conwell School as a private community education center was the catalyst and origin of the It Takes A Community Foundation. The school has also been the primary beneficiary ITAC’s fundraising efforts since 2010. However, over the past year the residents of Worthington successfully lobbied the state for special legislation that allows the tax dollars of their town to stay in Worthington rather than be pooled into the regional school system.
 


Vanessa Lewis was elated to announce to the attendees of the ITAC Charity Golf tournament that, “As of September 2015, our school will once again be a public elementary school for the children of Worthington, Mass.” She went on to explain, “This milestone of self-sufficiency will allow It Takes a Community to continue its growth goals and mission by increasing the number of organizations that receive grant money from the ITAC foundation.” For example, in addition to the R.H. Conwell School, this year’s concert and tournament proceeds are being shared among Big Brothers Big Sisters of Franklin County, Greenfield Education Foundation and the YMCA of Hampshire County’s Camp Norwich Improvement Fund

“We have seen first-hand the necessity for smaller communities to have a voice and to determine their own local needs and priorities,” said Aaron. “My wife and I are extremely happy and proud that the R.H. Conwell School is reopening as a public elementary school and we're excited to expand the foundation and take on new projects.”

About It Takes A Community:
Noted musician Aaron Lewis and his wife Vanessa founded It Takes A Community Foundation (ITACF) when the State of Massachusetts eliminated funding for the R.H. Conwell School in Worthington, MA. The school had served the children of the hill towns in the area since the 1940s and was one of the only community buildings in tiny Worthington. The school closure was devastating to the entire community.

Aaron and Vanessa founded ITACF in July 2010 to save the school. The support provided through ITACF provided the bulk of the funding to reopen the public facility as a private community school open to all local students. The R.H. Conwell experience demonstrated that rural communities can help themselves if residents work together and have adequate resources. Under the leadership of Aaron and Vanessa Lewis, ITACF now provides funding and guidance to a wide array of organizations that play a vital role in improving community life — particularly the lives of children—within rural communities.

ITACF raises funds and supports organizations or efforts that:
  • Strengthen, engage and enrich rural New England communities
  • Sustain diminishing public services
  • Provide assistance to communities in crisis
We share our expertise and provide financial assistance to empower citizens and organizations to take charge of their own community’s future. ITACF works to unite resources and ideas to help people and communities create a better tomorrow.
