NEW YORK -- Trip Records announced today that MTV Networks will feature four tracks from the album "King Baby" by Christian Johnson on the forthcoming home-video version of MTV's "Dennis Rodman's World Tour" program. The songs "Miss American Gun," "Gimme Hollywood," "I Paint What I See," and "Steven" will be featured on the soundtrack of the popular MTV series, which will be released this month.

"We're very pleased with MTV's request to use this material," said label president Tommy Davis. "The lyrical content of 'King Baby' is a potent dose of insight into many obstacles faced by the queer community, and it is encouraging to get it the high visibility exposure it deserves. But more importantly, it's a great record!" Generally heard only on college radio stations, "King Baby" will be introduced to a broader audience with the MTV feature, and reach those it addresses.

This debut album from altrock whiz kid Christian Johnson, released early 1996, is a collection of penetrating, intelligent and radio-ready rock and roll. The songs range from guitar-heavy epic poetry to unrepentantly sentimental ballads to purely fun, fist-pumping anthems -- all unified by Johnson's arresting baritone and poignant lyrics.

Trip Records is a nationally distributed, New York based independent label dedicated to the support and release of hard-hitting and exquisite Queer music and musical contortionists of all disciplines.
