Biography
Performances
The band made their live debut at Crash Mansion on July 16, 2007. They performed five songs from the album, The Heroin Diaries Soundtrack.[2]. The album had no drummer, because singer/producer James Michael programmed all the drums with samples. Due to this there was a curiosity as to who would be playing drums for them live. Former Beautiful Creatures drummer Glen Sobel ended up drumming for Sixx:A.M. The CD was made as the official soundtrack to The Heroin Diaries: A Year in the Life of a Shattered Rock Star.
On October 25th 2007, Sixx:A.M. played another show opening for KoRn. At the time of this show Glen Sobel was on tour drumming with Elliott Yamin
Tour
Originally, the group was outward towards stating that the band had no intention of touring.[3] After constant support for the band and interest in a tour, they held a nationwide vote for tour dates. The tour was scheduled to start in spring 2008, but had been postponed to the summer due to unforeseeable circumstances[4]. On April 15, 2008, Sixx:A.M. announced they would be touring as part of Mötley Crüe's Crüe Fest, along with Papa Roach, Buckcherry, and Trapt. The tour began on July 1, 2008, in West Palm Beach, Florida.[5]
