…was a golden era of decadence, excess, and hedonism. The stories of life on the strip, from the bands that rocked it, are legendary. For the original generations of fans, the stories never died, relived over and over in the music, their memories, and the memorabilia.
For the new generations of fans, the stories are new and exciting, eliciting a desire to live those stories through the memories of the rock n’ roll Kings and Queens.
Remember the throngs of people, the teased hair, heavy makeup, leather, and spandex pants. It was a competition for who was prettier: the bands or the girls screaming for them.
The allure of sex, drugs, and rock n’ roll inspired a worldwide youth migration to this small 1.5 mile stretch of California neon to be the ONE to make it big.
From the wannabes who dreamed they could make it, to the ‘Kings of the Strip’ who truly did, the Sunset Strip is littered with broken dreams, vibrant memories, and tales untold.
Let us tell your tales…
The Kings of the Strip Legacy Project was born out of a love and nostalgia for the 1980’s heavy metal Sunset Strip scene as a way to pay tribute to the era, the music, and the hard rock Kings that created it.
This effort will partner directly with you as a legendary artist to recreate your “tales from the strip,” your stories and history, with color and vibrancy in a graphic anthology. It will promote your current endeavors and passions and inform your fans on how you are keeping the era alive today with podcast interviews, website content and social media updates. It will contribute to building your legacy by supporting the generations that you inspired and continue to inspire through charitable donations and events specifically targeting teen artists.
Our creative team will interpret your stories into a graphic format, then transform YOU into your very own comic book character. Ultimately bringing the story to life in vibrant color.
Just like an album cover, YOUR book cover matters. You choose a cover artist that means something to you, with art that represents you.
The book will include YOUR biography and photos from throughout your career. Plus advertising, promotions and ads for you current album and your endorsements.
Merchandising is the life-blood of the touring musician. We've heard this many times over the years. We created this book for YOU to sell to fans on your concert merchandise tables and through your online stores, thereby capturing the music market.
Metal Nerds will open the comic book market to YOU. The book design includes features such as collectibility, high quality presentation, and vibrant artwork that appeals to the comic book nerd. We will sell the book at comic conventions and fan expos across North America and in our online store.
That’s why $1 from the sale of every book is donated to charity… yours and ours. We want to support the causes that are important to YOU. Choose your charity, and we will include a full-page ad for them in YOUR book and make a yearly donation on your behalf, based on sales.
Metal Nerds will partner with you in a promotional campaign throughout the creation process and launch of the book through our respective social media accounts and on the Kings of the Strip Legacy Project website.
We will create videos and posts to announce the partnership, provide sneak peeks and status updates of the book, promote your cours, concerts, and current projects, and announce the launch and sale channels once the book is complete.
Through our website, we will create an individual page exclusively for you and your book which will promote you, your tours and concerts, current projects and link to your website, social media and online store.
You will also have the opportunity to be interviewed on We Talk Music and BrettBeat podcasts. These interviews provide a platform for you to talk about your history, your talent, and promote your upcoming events or projects.
To facilitate the launch of the book on your concert merchandise table, Metal Nerds will travel to your concert, provide marketing naterial to advertise the book, and assist with promotion and sales at the venue.
As well, as an ongoing sponsor of Alice Cooper’s Solid Rock Teen Centers, Metal Nerds can offer some unique opportunities to you for the launch and promotion of the book and connection with Solid Rock.
Our mission is to capture the history of the 1980’s Sunset Strip heavy metal era through unique products and services that delight fans and artists alike, and inspire the next generation of rock stars.
BRETT MONRO AND CRISTA HONEY ARE METAL NERDS AND METAL NERDS ARE FANS FIRST
We grew up rocking out to the music, reading the liner notes, buying the magazines, going to the concerts, and getting the t-shirts.
METAL NERDS LIVE AND BREATHE MUSIC
We are committed to the bands of the era – we want to keep their legacy alive. We want to continue to be in the front row listening to the songs and watching the performances.
FOR THESE REASONS, WE INITIATED THE KINGS OF THE STRIP LEGACY PROJECT…
