HOLLYWOOD, Calif. (House of Blues Entertainment, Inc) -
Chicks With Attitude, presented by Maybelline New York and produced by Monarch Entertainment Group and House of Blues Entertainment, Inc., will sizzle as the coolest summer music tour in 2004.
Tickets for all tour dates are on sale now and may be obtained through the official website https://www.chickswithattitude.com.
Already receiving tremendous attention, "Chicks With Attitude will be the tour that everyone will be talking about this summer," promised Kevin Morrow, Executive Vice President of Talent for House of Blues. The tour was booked by industry vet Marty Diamond, founder of the New York-based boutique agency Little Big Man Booking. Diamond was one of the creators of yet another famous tour, the very successful Lilith Fair.
"The women assembled for the Chicks With Attitude tour are incredibly compelling live performers," said Diamond, "and I am sure that fans who attend the shows will agree!"
Indie rock trailblazer Liz Phair, whose current single, "Extraordinary," can be heard on radio and in movie theatres this summer, will headline. Phair and Diamond handpicked The Cardigans and captivating lead singer Nina Persson, provocative teenage singer-songwriter Katy Rose and the piano-playing chanteuse Charlotte Martin to accompany her on the tour.
With the support of Maybelline New York, fans will have the rare opportunity to see the explosive line-up perform in intimate settings throughout the country.
"I'm very excited to join the Chicks with Attitude Tour and Maybelline New York because we both embrace the fundamental underpinning of the tour - to encourage young women to feel good about themselves and express their style with pride and confidence," says Phair.
"In 2004, I believe that it should go without saying that this means addressing young women's self esteem as well."
Phair's hometown of Chicago hosts the first show of the tour: August 4 at House of Blues Chicago. Show dates span the U.S. and include Toronto.
In select cities, concertgoers may avail themselves of on-site Maybelline New York "beauty bars" before the show; fans in all cities will leave with samples to create a new look - and the attitude - after.
"Maybelline New York is all about energy, attitude and self expression for every woman," notes Cheryl Vitali, Sr. Vice President, Marketing, Maybelline New York-Garnier. "I can't imagine a better synergy than with the Chicks With Attitude tour and its powerful, empowering platform."
Chicks with Attitude was created by Monarch Entertainment Group with Maybelline New York as a way to connect young women with companies that care about who they are and what they want. "Today, young women are a powerful force in the world. Chicks with Attitude is an expression and celebration of that power and what it can mean to brands like Maybelline New York who understand and are aligned with this audience," adds Joseph Bongiovi, President, Monarch Entertainment Group.
