Hosted by emPower Fitness Studios

NEW YORK, Aug. 17 /PRNewswire/ -- After a highly successful digital pre-release featured on the front-page of the US & Canadian iTunes Music Stores, Shimmerplanet celebrates the physical CD release of their poly-genre album "For The One Who Kills Tomorrow." Get physical with Shimmerplanet on Tuesday September 12, 2006 at 7pm at, of course, a gym: emPower Fitness Studios, 224 West 4th Street, Second Floor, New York, NY 10014.

In keeping with their tradition of performing in non-traditional spaces (recent concerts have been staged in a public library, a strip-club, and a church), Shimmerplanet, the Indie band created by Soren Anders, has teamed up with a personal training gym, emPower Fitness Studios who will be hosting the release event.

"For The One Who Kills Tomorrow", a highly emotional disc is inspired by the extravagance and musicianship of Bjork and Rufus Wainwright, and showcases Anders' dark, confessional lyrics as well as his classical training. He has created an album that successfully fuses elements of alternative, rock, classical, jazz and electronic music. The resulting unique sound appeals to fans of truly innovative and intelligent music.

Continuing her collaboration with Anders, the immortal Lesley Gore (legendary artist of "It's My Party" and "You Don't Own Me") appears as a guest vocalist on the new track, "Siren". Gore is one of three singers (including Anders) heard on the album. Avant-garde New York vocalist Carolyn Eufrasio returns in her role as Shimmerplanet's Yin, singing lead on many of the tracks.

Shimmerplanet's debut album "Welcome To Shimmerplanet" received critical acclaim and they also received special recognition from The Songwriters' Hall Of Fame for their single "No Safe."

Free admission will begin at 7pm and Shimmerplanet will take the stage for an always-captivating LIVE performance at 7:15pm.

Shimmerplanet is available from Amazon, iTunes, Yahoo! Music, AOL Music Now, MTV Urge, Wal-Mart Digital and other major digital retail outlets around the world.

EmPower Fitness Studios offer one-on-one training, group programs and seminars on fitness and nutrition.
