Almost Famous!

Hey! Check out Almost Famous, a brand new section of Over-Exposure that we just launched today! Almost Famous will be a tour blog, from people (either pro journalists or people moonlighting as a journalist) who are either on a trip to follow a band while they’re on tour, or on tour with the band. Check out the site for more information about the origin of the name or what to expect. I think this is a really unique feature, I’ve never seen it in any other magazine or website. Some publications do tour, but for large festivals like Warped Tour, not just any band for the tour experience.
Almost Famous will be a tour and everything that comes with it viewed from people like you, not snooty journalists. A tour experience through wide eyes, for fans, from fans.

Lamb Of God’s Randy Blythe to appear in film “The Graves”

overexposure08 — Fri, 25 Jul 2008 22:21:57 +0000

Randy Blythe, vocalist of Lamb of God, will appear in the upcoming horror film The Graves, which will be screened for distributors this fall. The Graves, written and directed by former comic book writer Brian Pulido, will star Tony Todd (Canydman) and Bill Moseley (The Devil’s Rejects).
Blythe plays Deacon Luke, one of the evil denizens of Skull City.
“Without giving too much away, the movie is about two sisters who road trip through the desert and wind up in Unity. Something not so nice is happening there, and the man behind it appears to be the local Reverend, played by Tony Todd. Luke is basically the Rev’s right hand man, an enforcer of sorts. The two (smokin’ hot) sisters get caught up in the mix, and as often happens in horror movies, some blood is spilled here and there. Luke definitely gets his hands dirty.”

Don’t forget to check out Lamb Of God’s double20DVD, ‘Walk With Me In Hell, released July 1 on Epic Records.

DiNGs are the newest opportunity for music fans to express their allegiance to their favorite band. Every cell-phone-carrying, mp3-player-touting, video-gaming, laptop-packing, music lover can now “DiNG” their coveted gadgets with artwork from their favorite bands. A DiNG is a custom-fitted, device-specific decal that is easily applied to and removed from a device and leaves no adhesive residue.

A lot of the bands you know and love have signed on to help you customize your electronics, like Cobra Starship, Hot Hot Heat, Linkin Park, No Doubt, Slipknot, Nine Inch Nails, Rise Against, H20, Blink 182, Underoath, Taking Back Sunday and many more. DiNGs are currently available for over 100 devices including cell phones, gaming systems and controllers, MP3 players and laptops.

According to company CEO John Oakes, “This is only the beginning! Within the coming year, we plan to exponentially expand our artist catalog and device selection. Our customers are active concert goers. We will work closely with our bands and many national tours to have our product be the conduit that creates an exclusive opportunity for our customers—music fans—at live shows.”

DiNG will launch summer promotions which will bring fans closer to the bands through meet-and-greets, on-stage and backstage access, as well as VIP front-of-the-line entrance into concert venues. Fans should expect and enhanced concert experience from DiNG.

All DiNGs are custom-fitted to each cell phone, gaming device, MP3 player, and laptop. Each full-color, high-resolution DiNG fits perfectly and can be removed easily without damage, and does not leave any adhesive residue on your device. This flexibility allows music fans to personalize their devices as often as they like— without damaging the device or voiding a manufacturer’s warranty. DiNGs are printed on premium grade adhesive-backed vinyl and laminated with a UV and scratch resistant protective layer for long lasting durability.
