WORLD, to Appear on Brand New Television Show ‘The Making of Rock Stars’
Headlining U.S. Fall Tour NOW – See Below for Tour Dates
New Album ‘To Live and Die in the Garden of Eden’ OUT NOW on Rogue Records
Little Rock, AR’s MACHINA, featuring Phil Taylor (former Future Leaders of the World) and John Le Compt (ex-Evanescence),
is pleased to announce that they will be the featured band on an
upcoming show chronicling the journey and real life struggles of
musicians as they make their way to becoming rock stars. The show, ‘The
Making of Rockstars’, is scheduled to premiere early next year, airing
via syndication on Fox, CBS and ABC and hitting roughly 200 million
viewers. The show is being filmed on the band’s U.S. headline run, which
kicks off today in Springfield, MO at Outland Ballroom (see below for
all current tour dates).
Along
with the television show, the band and show will be interacting
directly with fans via online updates and communication. It is here
where fans will truly experience the creation of “reality television” as
MACHINA faces daily challenges, gets into ridiculous situations
and will relay their struggles through interviews and daily uploads of
edited video highlighting their journey. Fans will be able to be a part
of every experience, creating viral and engaging phenomena.
‘The Making of Rockstars’ producer David DeLay states, “I'm really excited to work with such a professional band as MACHINA
on "The Making Of Rockstars". The potential of this band is unlimited
and the work ethic is unmatched. I believe you're seeing the birth of
the next great rock band.”
“MACHINA
is amped to be featured on “The Making of Rockstars”. We believe that
this groundbreaking medium will pave the road for original artists alike
for many years to come,” adds vocalist Phil Taylor on behalf of MACHINA.
“Sharing our music and connecting with our fans is what we're all
about, so it made perfect sense to form this partnership with David
DeLay. We really look forward to getting our story out to the masses
while touring in support of our new album.”
Stay tuned for more updates about “The Making of Rockstars”, coming soon.
MACHINA released their new album, To Live and Die in the Garden of Eden, on September 25, 2012 via Rogue Records America. The album is available NOW for digital download at iTunes and other digital retailers and physically via CM Distro.
