CHICAGO, IL (PRWEB) April 10, 2004 --Indie recording artist Emilie Autumn is set to perform on prime time television, appearing with Courtney Love and her band, The Chelsea, on April 15th on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. This is her second appearance on prime time late night, first appearing on the David Letterman show with Love in March 2004. "The Chelsea is made up of a group of incredible female musicians that I'm lucky to be a part of. Courtney has embraced us all and we're ready to rock the world with our upcoming tour to support her," says Emilie in her home recording studio in Chicago.

Emilie has previously earned numerous classical accolades from her youth as a concert violinist, even releasing an album of Baroque violin masterpieces, and is eager to show her rock vocal and electric violin talents to a larger audience. Her most recent album, "Enchant", was released in early 2003 to rave reviews and an already devoted fanbase. "I think "Enchant" really shows how many musical sides I have, and how very different my work is from the current mainstream. I have such an eclectic background, I wanted this album to leave no questions as to what I was able to accomplish musically," noting that she played nearly every instrument on the recording.

Emilie Autumn will appear with Courtney Love in The Chelsea on April 15th, 2004 at 11:35 pm ET on NBC. They are scheduled to play the song, "Hold on to Me," the second single from Courtney's recent Virgin Records release, "America's Sweetheart."

About Emilie Autumn:
The 24 year old classical violinist-turned-rock singer made her prime time debut in March 2004 with Courtney Love's band, The Chelsea, on David Letterman's Late Show. Too free-spirited for the formal strictures of school, self-educated Emilie Autumn started playing the violin at age four, and began performing professionally at age 12, touring the U.S. and Europe. Although she attracted critical and popular raves for her mastery of the classical violin, Emilie was already moving into new musical realms, polishing her vocal skills and penning songs in the style she now calls "fantasy rock." Emilie is also the founder and owner of the Chicago-based indie label, Traitor Records. She supports internet radio and has had hundreds of thousands of downloads of her songs after releasing her entire recorded catalog for free on her web site. Emilie has strong online sales and continues to draw a growing fanbase. She accompanied Courtney Love in 2003 to record electric violin and backing vocals for Love's most recent album, "America's Sweetheart," and became a part of The Chelsea shortly after. Along with the upcoming tour with Love and The Chelsea, she is preparing for her fifth release on Traitor Records. Her official web site is www.emilieautumn.com.

About The Chelsea:
An all female band, The Chelsea includes Emilie Autumn on violin and vocals, former Hole/Motley Crue member Samantha Maloney on drums, Lisa Leveridge and Radio Sloan on guitar, and Dvin Kirakosian on bass guitar and vocals. They are accompanying Courtney in her upcoming tour to support her recently released album, "America's Sweetheart," available on Virgin Records. More information on The Chelsea will be available when their official web site, www.thechelseamusic.com, launches in mid April 2004.
