Yeah I know that sounds like a typo but its not. It’s Rock Band as in the game, the one that turns you and your friends into living room rock stars. Anyway, you may remember us telling you about the Energizer “Advance into Overdrive” contest a couple weeks ago. Well, if you don’t then let me give you the cliffnotes. Energizer and Rock Band teamed up to find America’s Favorite Rock Band Band and the winner gets to play a at the MTV store in Time Square for 20 FREAKN’ HOURS!
Sounds crazy I know, but I think it’s awesome and so do the four guys from Grand Rapids, Mich. that won. The Rock Band band Jimmy Twinkle and the BAD get the total rock star treatment as they travel to New York on Nov. 13th for their Rock Band marathon.
“We are just four average guys from Grand Rapids, so to be treated like rock stars is absolutely a dream come true,” said Jimmy Paauwe, lead singer of Jimmy Twinkle and the BAD. “We are grateful to our fans for helping us get this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. We cannot wait to rock out Times Square.”
More than 115 bands competed for the chance to play. I still just can’t imagine playing for 20 hours straight. I would have torn it up on those Rock Band drums too.
