DROP DEAD, GORGEOUS CONTINUE TO BUILD EXCITEMENT FOR ACCLAIMED NEW ALBUM ‘THE HOT N’ HEAVY’

WITH NEW SINGLE AND VIDEO “TWO BIRDS, ONE STONE” AND ELECTRIFYING LIVE SHOWS

Things are continuing to excitingly build for DROP DEAD, GORGEOUS whose third album THE HOT N’ HEAVY--an explosive thrill-ride of a record that debuted at #6 on Billboard’s Top Heatseekers chart after its June 2 release via Suretone--was greeted with critical acclaim praising the band’s musical evolution and songwriting strengths. Now in the midst of their second nationwide U.S. headlining tour this year, DROP DEAD, GORGEOUS are tearing it up onstage with electrifying performances that are further galvanizing their fans.

The live intensity of DROP DEAD, GORGEOUS--DANNY STILLMAN (lead vocals), KYLE BROWNING (lead guitar/backing vocals), JAKE HANSEN (bass) and DANNY COOPER (drums/percussion)--is captured in the video for the album’s first single “Two Birds, One Stone,” which premiered in early July on MTV2 and can be seen on both “Unleashed” and “The Drop.” Check out the video here: http://www.mtv.com/videos/drop-dead-gorgeous/404501/two-birds-one-stone.jhtml#artist=2063757.

DROP DEAD, GORGEOUS’ bond with their fans continues to grow because of the band’s evocative songs, which draw lyrically on real life experiences. THE HOT N’ HEAVY is as brutal as it is beautiful. “To be blunt,” notes frontman DANNY STILLMAN, “it’s about real life. This is not a concept album, it’s auto-biographical.” “The lyrics are about things that have gone on in my life or have inspired me,” STILLMAN continues, “whether it’s past drug abuse or alcoholism or being on the road around the world.”
