Perez HIlton Signs Bands...

Just the fact that he is now signing bands and has a label makes me want to weep piss.

I feel slimy. And still I present you the press release unedited:
Perez Hilton Targets Fashion World with
French Pop Star Sliimy's Debut Album

Hilton's Perezcious Music To Launch First Release As a T-Shirt,
In Partnership with The Music Tee.



August 27, 2009, Burbank, California - In a bold marketing moved designed to reflect current trends in the way fans discover and consume music and fashion, Perez Hilton’s new music label, Perezcious Music (a division of Warner Bros. Records) will launch the label’s first signing, 20 year old French singer songwriter Sliimy (pronounced "Slim-ee" – rhymes with Jimmy), as both a digital release and a gorgeous new T-shirt distributed in partnership with The Music Tee, LLC. The move will allow the label to distribute Sliimy’s debut album, Paint Your Face, available September 15th, both digitally and in fashion retail outlets across North America, where the artist, already a fashion icon, is more likely to resonate with fans.

The Sliimy Music Tee, personally designed by Sliimy, is a T-shirt that features “album art” on the front, and the Paint Your Face tack listing on the back, reminiscent of traditional album packaging. Each shirt comes with a hang-tag containing a unique code that allows the owner to download a copy of Paint Your Face. The Sliimy Music Tee will be carried in fashion boutiques and clothing chains nationwide, and at TheMusicTee.com (suggested retail price $39). The shirt will be also featured at PROJECT in Las Vegas next week, and will be available to all traditional music retailers.

Sliimy, an irresistible 20-year old singer-songwriter, is already a media phenomenon on Twitter and MySpace with over a million streams. His album was #2 in France earlier this year. “Wake Up”, Sliimy’s first single, written by Sliimy and musical partner Feed, is currently available on iTunes bundled with Sliimy’s colorful video of “Wake Up.”

Sliimy will also be a featured performer on the upcoming Perez Hilton U.S. tour, a 17-city tour that kicks off in Atlanta, GA on September 10th. Other artists on the bill include Ladyhawke, Ida Maria, Sliimy, Julian Perretta, eric Hutchinson and Semi Precious Weapons. A Perez Hilton Tour Music Tee will also be released to commemorate the tour.
