Tattooed Millionaires is a glam, punk band hailing from Hollywood California.
The band has toured clubs across the U.S. and Europe, growing their fan base across the way.
Their debut effort Armed & Hammered is a short one. Clocking in just shy of 29 minutes in length.
This CD will immerse you in a punk/sleaze mixture with catchy tunes and ripping guitar solos that will please most hard rock fans. Tattooed Millionaires have a sound that I would describe as The Sex Pistols meets Kiss. It sounds like a kooky combination, but it works! It is a throwback sound to 70's glam, and that is totally fine with me.
It seems that more and more bands are discovering the true roots of glam, and Tattooed Millionaires truly deliver the goods with Armed & Hammered!
Fans of bands like Hanoi Rocks, and The Gypsy Pistoleros need to give Tattooed Millionaires a chance too. This is a great glam rock disc worth checking out!

Laid in The USA tore the roof off of a packed Snitch and the sound was AWESOME and the dancing hot chick on the table was eye candy too. BUT HOT Chicks follow and worship these ROCKSTARS!

Tattooed Millionaires hit the stage with their tight, raunchy, butt kicking rock formula. This band has been making quite a name for themselves, slugging it out in venues across the city, and blasting the Internet with media savvy. Opening the set, Tattooed Millionaires jolted us with their version of “Ramblin’ Rose” made famous by Detroit rockers The MC5. Believe it or not this was actually the first time I have seen Tattooed Millionaires live, and all the buzz around this band is completely justified. They ROCK. “Hong Kong Blonde” was next, followed by the cosmically demanding “Show Some Respect”. Harder edged was the delivery, cause live is live, and studio is studio. Ah yes, “There Goes the Neighborhood” is the sediment in these bad boys 'hood. Rock and rollers move in next-door and your lawn dies. Johnny Jetson delivered his message with red-hot precision while drummer Justin held the whole shebang together like superbondo.
More great rock came in the form of “Do Ya Feel Alright” and the T-Rex sounding “All I Want Is You”. The irreverent lyrics of “All I Want” are damn clever. Tattooed Millionaires then paid homage to premier 60’s garage band heroes The Sonics. “Have Love Will Travel” was the cover and Gerry and the boys would sure have been proud. Pounding thump at its best. “Waiting for the Man” and “Too Young to Die” were showstoppers, and set closers. After the set I had the pleasure of finally meeting Johnny Jetson in person and he just confirmed what I already knew, he is super smart and super talented, A true Rock Star. - SugarBuzz Magazine

With songs such as I Wanna Get In Your Pants and French Kissing raising the roof and getting everyone jumping up and down, it is clear that it is lead singer, Johnny Jetson, who is the glue that holds the band together. He has a great stage presence, constantly interacting with the crowd which he told me later he'd been told not to do (a man who disobeys rules always gets the HZ seal of approval) and ensuring that the set never wavered for one second.
Brian and Johnny have great guitar play interaction, particularly on tracks such as Show Some Respect, but Justin kept that beat heavy - something which on their album seems to be much lower in the mix, sadly - and by the time the last song, a requested Star Spangled Hammer played out, it felt like the guys could have carried on for another hour.
My request for Hong Kong Blonde went by the wayside, as it did at Nottingham, but I'm hoping they can fit that one in, on their final stop in Europe. If you can manage to catch the Millionaires before they return to sunny Hollywood, I suggest you get on down to the G-Lounge in Camden on the 1st July, as the Millionaires will be playing then before jetting back. Let's all hope it's isn't too long before they come back again. - Highway Zero

The Tattooed Millionaires are the rock and roll bad boys that rock and roll has needed for a very long time! They live the rock and roll lifestyle and have the sound to back them up, let's not forget the rock and roll looks!
The Tattooed Millionaires' sound is nothing short of what you would expect to hear coming from the Hollywood areas. Sex and lust driven lyrics are only the start to this young band. They have guitar riffs that will forever be remembered and will for sure be classics in the future.
Living the lifestyle of their music is what makes it so good; they have an understanding of the Sunset Strip and of life as young rockers. Songs like "I Wanna Get In Your Pants" and "Rock And Roll Babies" pay tribute to those that influenced their music and gives hope that rock and roll will never die.
The songs are guitar and bass driven hits, each having their own hook and their own style. Not one song sounds the same on the album. The music is rough, sexy and decadent, bringing back the style of bands like L.A. Guns and Poison to a new generation.
The album is called The Band With No Fear and that is just what they are, they dare to be different, put out lyrics that you wouldn't think of hearing in today's music industry and have a style that is undeniably there own. The songs are undoubtedly rock and roll with the perfect addition of sleaze and punk to make them the future of music! - Sleaze Roxx

This album is already out for quite a while but nevertheless we at Rock Report think it would be highly unfair not to inform the glam loving part of our readers about this little gem. So we our proud to present you, straight out of Hollywood, Los Angeles: Tattooed Millionaires.
Well, in fact, they’re not millionaires yet, but that may happen if the stars line up right. In the tattoo department, everything is already under control, as can be seen on the cover. Also the other important departments commonly used in glam rock, such as the looks, the lyrics & the tunes are perfectly in check.
Short album, short songs, but filled with so many hooks & choruses that this here boy is sure to be satisfied for the next couple of weeks. Check out top class songs as ‘Bad Boys & Astronauts’, ‘French Kissing’ & ‘Rock ‘N’ Roll Babies’ where apparent influences like The Rolling Stones, Iggy & The Stooges, Ziggy Stardust-era Bowie & MC5 are molded into great rocking songs.
Nice & quick ones can be a whole lotta fun, yes, ma’am, yes indeed... - Rock Report

TATTOOED MILLIONAIRES
"Guitar riffs that will forever be remembered and will for sure be classics in the future." – Rock and a Hard Place
"The Tattooed Millionaires are the rock and roll bad boys that rock and roll has needed for a very long time!" - SRock
Sheer drive and commitment, coupled with their very loyal and quickly rising fan base has carried the band's name around the globe. Touring in support of 2 full length CDs, released on the band's own Sex Sells Records label, has led Tattooed Millionaires to audiences in 9 countries and nearly 30 US states. This relentless push has brought the band radio airplay, which is quickly increasing at stations around the world. Their notoriety has earned them appearences at such events as "The Days of the Dead Festival" in Torino, Italy and most recently the "Grand Opening of Starlight Tattoo" at the House of Blues in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Tattooed Millionaires have a large social network on the internet, racking up over 1 million song plays on Myspace. A viral phenomenon has taken hold, ever increasing their brand recognition. Touring achievements, a devoted grassroots fan base and a solid internet presence have allowed the band to establish a successful, international street team.
Their music has found its way onto the big screen, including 2006's film festival hit, "Little Athens", Director Joe Monk's "The Bunker", and "Flowers On The Razorwire" by famed horror writer and director Hart Fisher. The band has scored 2 AVN 'Best Movie Soundtrack' nominations for 2005's "Live and Loaded in Switzerland" and 2007's Tattooed & Tight.
Johnny Jetson originally blasted onto the scene with his former band, the Space Age Playboys, featuring Warrior Soul front man Kory Clarke. He has written and recorded with such notable artists as Snoop Dogg, Tommy Lee (Motley Crue), Chris Verrna (Nine Inch Nails), and Chris Holmes (WASP).
In addition to their own music videos, the band has also appeared in featured roles of numerous other music videos. Some of those artists include Hinder, Britney Murphy w/ Paul Oakenfold, and HIM.
