**** N-E-W O-R-L-E-A-N-S ****

We are happy today to announce that Anders Manga will be kicking off
the Convergence XII festival in New Orleans, LA with a live performance
on April 13th. Anders and the band, Sco, Psychopsis & GarGirl will also
be available for meet and greet at their vendor booth throughout the
Easter weekend festival.

Convergence is a roving net.goth party, hosted each year by a different
committee and city. It started in Chicago (and went back for its 10
year anniversary), and has also been to Boston, San Francisco, Seattle,
New Orleans, Montreal, New York, San Diego, Toronto, and Las Vegas.

Convergence 12 will be held in New Orleans, April 13-16, 2006.
Convergence 5 also took place there, and was one of the most memorable.
Although a different committee this time, they're thrilled to have been
offered the opportunity to organize what they say will be an event to
remember.

This event will mark the first show for Anders Manga on the "Left of an
All-Time Low" tour. The album, recorded and self-produced in Charlotte,
NC was released January 13th 2006 on Vampture Records and distributed
by Metropolis Records.

Anders Manga broke into the scene in April of 2005 with his debut solo
release, "One Up for the Dying" and has developed a quick following in
many genres. He became the all-time most downloaded goth artist at
download.com with over 40,000 downloads in 2005. Songs such as
"Solitary Heaven", "Shiver", the ballad "Heart of Black" and more have
been turning up on DJ's playlists worldwide while "We Won't Stay Dead"
is quickly becoming a Goth/Industrial night staple.

Also in 2005, Anders Manga co-headlined Goth Stock in Hartford, CT, a
two day festival featuring other goth/industrial artists such as The
Cruxshadows, Bella Morte, Genitorturers, and many more. Two months
prior he played "Dracula's Ball" in Philadelphia, the largest event of
its type in America before heading to Atlanta for a special show during
the extremely popular fantasy arts convention, DragonCon.

"Left of an All-Time Low" features 11 new songs, including a dark
electro cover of Mercyful Fate's "Gypsy". Two videos from the album
have already been produced for the songs, "Empire On the Sun" and
"Glamour" which are available online to view at
