LOS ANGELES- Last October, the editrix of Scram Magazine and the book "Bubblegum Music is the Naked Truth" spearheaded an international celebration of bubblegum pop music and culture, with documentary screenings and events in Austin, Vancouver, Chicago, San Antonio, Sydney, NYC and Berlin, and culminating in the gala 2nd Biannual Bubblegum Achievement Awards in downtown Los Angeles.

Incensed that the great bubblegum stars continue to be ignored by the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, editrix Kim Cooper and her cohort, performance artist Kelly "The Bubblegum Queen" Kuvo, have built a Bubblegum Hall of Fame, and packed it with the hit makers of sixties pre-pubescent pop.

The 2005 Bubblegum Achievement Awards Show DVD is now available, featuring the inductions of Archies singer Ron Dante ("Sugar Sugar"), Ohio Express singer-songwriter Joey Levine ("Yummy Yummy Yummy"), chimp-rock TV band Lancelot Link & the Evolution Revolution producer Steve Barri, and radio legend Dr. Demento. The DVD includes live duets from Dante with fellow Archie Toni Wine and Joey Levine, Canada’s outrageous, fringe jumpsuited Canned Hamm, child safety advocate Abram the Safety Ape, Bob Baker’s Marionettes and the Bubblegum Queen herself.

Hosts Kim Cooper and Kelly "Bubblegum Queen" Kuvo are available for interviews, as are Canned Hamm, Ron Dante, Dr. Demento, Joey Levine and Steve Barri. Contact Kim at amscray@gmail.com.
