BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
Nikki Sixx, DJ Ashba, and James Michael joined forces in 2007 to record The Heroin Diaries Soundtrack, a companion album to Sixx's autobiography The Heroin Diaries: A Year in the Life of a Shattered Rock Star. What began as a one-off studio project quickly became a full-fledged band when the album took off, landing several singles on the rock charts and drawing the band out for an unexpected tour. While on the road the group began penning new material that eventually formed the basis of their sophomore album, 2011's This Is Gonna Hurt. The record peaked at No. 10 on the Billboard 200, spawning the chart-topping single "Lies of the Beautiful People" and drawing the band out for more tour dates. In addition to performing with Sixx:A.M., both Nikki Six and DJ Ashba have continued to play guitar in Mötley Crüe and Guns N' Roses, respectively. In 2014 the band thrilled fans with their third album Modern Vintage, a hard-hitting collection of tracks that make a perfect addition to their adrenaline-filled sets on tour.
