Nothing says backstage lounge at a heavy metal show like booze and groupies right? Well amend that to add green tea mate, organic, single origin Sumtran coffee, puffed fruit, and premium chocolates. Miami company Explorer's Bounty has struck a deal with Backstage Artist Lounge (aka payed them) to stock their products in private lounges in three stops (West Palm, Atlanta, and Saratoga Springs) of Motley Crue's summer rock festival, Crue Fest 2.

Bands, roadies, industry types, and whoever can sneak backstage will have "all-out access to the organic mate teas, coffees, chocolates and crunchy fruit snacks by Explorer's Bounty," according to a press release. That means Motley Crue, Godsmack, Theory of a Deadman, Drowning Pool, and Charm City Devils may be tearing through their sets on an organic coffee buzz and teeth cracks full of fruit snacks.

Explorer's Bounty is 305 headquartered, but according to a company representative we phoned, their warehouses are in Michigan for distribution purposes.
