TOMMY LEE: Video Highlights From Canadian Leg Of 'Electro Mayhem' Tour Available

September 4, 2007

A 10-minute video clip of highlights from the Canadian leg of the Electro Mayhem tour, featuring MÖTLEY CRÜE drummer Tommy Lee and DJ Aero, can be viewed below.

Having achieved the pinnacle of success as a rock 'n roll drummer with the CRÜE and his other bands, ROCK STAR SUPERNOVA and METHODS OF MAYHEM, Lee decided in 2000 to team-up with fellow bandmember DJ Aero (born Chester Deitz),to work towards a relentless schedule of electronic music DJ gigs. Their debut at WMC 2004's Ultra Music Festival in Miami took the rock and dance music worlds by storm.

It's 2007 and the Electro Mayhem Tour has gathered full-steam, led by agent Johnny Maroney of CEG Talent; Lee/Aero bring their multi-sensory, audiovisual performances to clubs across North America. Lest critics doubt Lee's sincerity for club culture after such a high-profile career in rock, he says, "I touched turntables and that was my turning-point! Mixmaster Mike and Aero inspired and taught me a lot about DJing. I started DJing and realized you could do all these things, musically." Far from having any downtime, Lee/Aero installed a full, virtual studio on their tour bus, thus allowing them the ability to personalize each night's set according to the city they're in. Endless miles on the bus also bring fruitful production sessions, and original dance tracks are in the works.

When Aero isn't touring with Lee, he is a web-designer and runs a lucrative, million-dollar online retail business. Says Aero of the life he now leads, "Whenever I get booked to travel to Dubai, Toronto or Zurich to DJ, I pinch myself. It's a blessing and I'm always appreciative."

Tommy Lee and DJ Aero are sponsored by Pioneer Pro DJ. Their live setup consists of: two Pioneer DVJ-1000 DVD-players, an Edirol V2 video-mixer, a Pioneer DJM-800 mixer, two Pioneer CDJ-1000MK3 CD-players, a Pioneer EFX-500 effects unit, two Apple Mac Book Pro laptops, an Alesis control pad, an M-Audio Oxygen O2 keyboard, and assorted live-performance software including Serato Scratch LIVE 1.7.2, Ableton Live 6.0, and Artillery 1.3. Their live shows are a frenetic whirlwind of synthesized beats and high-energy sound.
