AIMEE MANN NEW ALUM @#%&! SMILERS TOUR STARTS JUNE 3
 Aimee Mann |
Aimee Mann has collaborated with critically acclaimed visual artist Gary Taxali on her seventh solo release @#%&! Smilers, to be released on June 3, 2008 on her own SuperEgo Records. Taxali has contributed 17 original illustrations for the packaging of the CD, art directed by Aimee Mann and Gail Marowitz, and designed by Marowitz and Ed Sherman. Los Angeles art gallery La Luz De Jesus will host a showing of the 17 new artworks which will kick off with a combined art show and CD release party on May 31 at 8 p.m. Both Taxali and Mann will be present to sign copies of the new CD.
After originally breaking onto the music scene during the 1980's leading the post-new wave pop group 'Til Tuesday, Aimee Mann has gone on to establish herself as one of the most prominent singer-songwriters of her generation. Her successful solo career has spanned across several critically acclaimed albums, including the massively popular soundtrack for the film Magnolia, which garnered her an Academy Award nomination for Best Song in 2000. Time magazine has said of her, "Mann has the same skill that great tunesmiths like McCartney and Neil Young have: the knack for writing simple, beautiful, instantly engaging songs." Aimee will be touring throughout the summer and fall in support of Smilers; see tour dates below.
Aimee Mann recently performed at the Artists Den which aired on Ovation TV on March 20, 2008 where she performed her single "Freeway." Here is a video of the performance:
