Washington Post Disparages Virgin Fest Bookers

[wml7]

Remember what Seth said.  Should be better then Lollapalooza and Bonnaroo combined.

[eros]

After further reflection, there is no way this is legit.
 
 This "band" has to be some sort of a Borat meets Andy Kaufman type of joke.
 
 You heard it here first.

[wml7]

I hope I can beat the rush of people to the stage and get a up close view.

ok so this whole band thing reminds me of that Halloween movie where they put on those masks and then the commercial came on and everyones heads turned to snakes.

i think that the dude who does most of the actual singing of the choruses (as opposed to the rappers) sounds a lot like Weird Al.  then again, maybe it's just my mind playing tricks on me since hollywood undead are such a joke...
 
 but seriously, he does sound like weird al to me.

 "Music has always been at the core of the Virgin Mobile USA brand and
 for that reason, Book The Band is a natural extension of Virgin Mobile
 Festival," said Ron Faris, Director of Brand Development & Partnerships,
 Virgin Mobile USA. "As far as we're concerned, this year's contest was won
 on the mobile phone, with Hollywood Undead ramping up a huge campaign to
 get over 186,485 text votes. We at Virgin Mobile USA along with Kyocera
 Wireless are thrilled to host their first live show at our Virgin Mobile
 Festival."
 
     "Book the Band is a brilliant extension of the next wave of music
 discovery, and Virgin Mobile Festival has certainly found promising talent
 in Hollywood Undead to open Day Two," said Sir Richard Branson, whose
 legendary Virgin Festival heritage is the inspiration for the Virgin Mobile
 Festival. "I'm curious to see how well they'll do going from MySpace to our
 space!"
 
     "We can't think of a better venue than the Virgin Mobile Festival to
 play our first-ever live show," said J-Dog of Hollywood Undead. "To stand
 in front of the same fans who will be there to see musical legends perform
 is unreal. We'll do everything we can to make our first show something for
 fans to remember."
 
     Hollywood Undead beat out four other up-and-coming bands by receiving
 an overwhelming 53% (285,000 votes) of the more than 540,000 votes placed
 online and via text between June 16 through July 21. Hollywood Undead will
 release their highly anticipated debut album, "Swan Songs" (via A&M/Octone)
 on August 26, 2008. Tampa-based Automatic Loveletter came in second place
 with more than 161,000 votes. New Jersey's The Parlor Mob, Brooklyn's We
 Are Scientists, and New York's The Virgins came in third, fourth and fifth,
 respectively.

do i smell damage control?
 
 and whats the over/under on them lip synching their performance given they all wear masks..

[Relaxer]

lol at We Are Scientists. They couldn't even place #2 behind these cock-acceptors.

[wml7]

I thought We Are Scientits are suppose to be pretty big, very surprised they didn't win.
