Def Leppard has confirmed June 7, 2011 as the release date for their first ever live album Mirror Ball (Bludgeon Riffola/Mailboat Records), which will be available exclusively at Walmart & Sam’s Club locations in the United States and Canada. The album will include a 50 minute DVD that contains live performances and intimate backstage footage of the band captured on the road. A special limited vinyl edition will also be made available. Mirror Ball will also be available online, marking the first time the band’s music will officially be made available for digital purchase. Def Leppard will also be releasing their new community based website in May, which is being developed to be the ultimate Def Leppard fan experience and go- to destination for all things on the band.
Said Joe Elliott, "To be able to say at last, we have a live album out & it be a three disc package which includes a DVD makes me very happy ... it's the soundtrack of OUR lives…!"
Mirror Ball was recorded across the world over the course of many of the band’s sold-out dates and features all of the classic songs that have made Def Leppard one of the most respected and beloved power rock bands in the world. The album captures the group’s legendary concert experience at its thunderous best, bringing together live versions of classic Leppard hits such as “Pour Some Sugar on Me,” “Rock of Ages,” “Foolin',” “Hysteria,” “Photograph” and an incredible rendition of “Bringing on the Heartache.” With their creative juices at full flow, the band has also added three new studio tracks: “Undefeated,” “It’s All About Believin’” and “Kings of the World,” that are undeniably Def Leppard. Mirror Ball follows the band’s 2008 studio release, Live From the Sparkle Lounge, which debuted at #5 on the Billboard Top 200, marking the group’s highest chart position since 1992’s Adrenalized.

DECCA BROADWAY RELEASES ANDREW LLOYD WEBBER’S NEW PRODUCTION OF “THE WIZARD OF OZ”
2011 LONDON PALLADIUM RECORDING AVAILABLE DIGITALLY NOW AND IN STORES JUNE 28, 2011
(New York, NY – May 24, 2011) The 2011 London Palladium cast recording of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s stunning new production of The Wizard Of Oz is currently available digitally and will be in stores June 28th through Decca Broadway in America. This 24 track set includes all the much-loved songs from the Oscar-winning movie score by Harold Arlen and E.Y. Harburg, plus new songs by Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice.
The production features multiple award-winning performer Michael Crawford as the Wizard and Danielle Hope – winner of the 2010 British television talent competition Over the Rainbow – as Dorothy. Other performers in the cast include Edward Baker-Duly (Tin Man), David Ganly (Cowardly Lion), Paul Keating (Scarecrow), Emily Tierney (Glinda) and Hannah Waddingham (Wicked Witch Of The West).
The Wizard of Oz is Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber's first production together in the West End in over three decades. To create the new musical, Lloyd Webber adapted the 1939 film's screenplay with director Jeremy Sams, and added several new songs to the film's score with Rice. In July 2010, Lloyd Webber told the Daily Mail, "The fact is that The Wizard of Oz has never really worked in the theatre. The film has one or two holes where in the theatre you need a song. For example, there's nothing for either of the two witches to sing. Tim and I are doing quite a specific thing, because we know what's missing."
The production opened in England to excellent reviews and record-breaking business, and promises to inspire a new generation of fans by offering a new perspective on a timeless classic.

NEKROMANTIX UNLEASH “WHAT HAPPENS IN HELL, STAYS IN HELL” AUG 2, 2011
North American Tour Begins July 26th/VIP Packages Available May 26, 2011
Revered psychobilly trio Nekromantix have emerged from the depths of isolation to unleash their latest sonic creation, a monstrous slab of demonic rock and roll entitled What Happens In Hell, Stays In Hell. This dangerously hypnotic album careens into stores on August 2, 2011 via Hellcat Records and includes 13 songs of blistering death defying rock. In anticipation, the band will be offering special VIP Packages to their most dedicated fans on May 26 through the website below.
Led by charismatic rock and roll rebel Kim Nekroman and his legendary coffin bass, the Nekromantix have emerged as preeminent purveyors of a powerful and haunting psychobilly sound, an intoxicating mixture of surging anthemic punk and seductive reverb soaked rockabilly. The new record What Happens In Hell, Stays In Hell offers up frantic energetic romps like lead off track “Bats In My Pants,” the riotous revelry moves along with the ominous anthem “Sleepwalker With A Gun,” followed by a tribute to the immortal Hollywood horror legend with “Bela Lugosi’s Star.”
In support of the new album, Nekromantix will be loading up their hot-rod hearse to blaze across North America, igniting the festivities with a performance in the scorched desert landscape of Southern California on July 26th.
The band will also be offering special presale VIP packages for their most dedicated fans. These packages will include:
