'Battle of the Bands' Contest During GameRiot Summer Tour

by Rainier on June 1, 2005 @ 4:07 a.m. PDT

Featuring 150 tracks and five distinct musical styles: rock, funk/hip-hop, country, marching band and Latin, Battle of the Bands combines fast-paced combat with customizable bands in the fight for musical supremacy, fully utilizing the Wii Remote controller’s highly intuitive control scheme to deliver a unique game-play experience.

Once all ten bands advance, their tracks can be reviewed and voted upon at the myspace.com/gameriot page. The winner will be announced August 15.

In addition, the winning band will have their song featured on the 2K Sports College Hoops 2K6 soundtrack – the number one rated* college basketball videogame.

Now in its third year, GameRiot has mastered the formula for delivering a diverse entertainment experience by fusing the top video game releases with popular local music talent. The Battle of the Bands competition takes this experience to an all-new level as it gives music and video game fans the chance to launch the career of an unsigned band and participate in programming the music for a AAA video game franchise.

"The intense gaming atmosphere of the GameRiot tour, coupled with the excitement of pulse-pounding live music, makes for a truly unique entertainment experience," said Matt Ringel, Executive Producer of GameRiot. "We're excited to team up with MySpace.com and 2K Sports to offer a musical and interactive experience like no other."

The GameRiot Battle of the Bands contest kicks off June 12th in Cleveland at House of Blues. For more information visit www.gameriot.com.
