NEW YORK--(ENTERTAINMENT WIRE)--March 26, 2001
Limp Bizkit knows how to work its fans, as is evident by the band's pulsating music, raucous live shows and, now, the just-debuted interactive game inspired by the Bizkit phenomenon. Available exclusively on GetMusic.com, one of the top-trafficked music content and lifestyle destinations (www.getmusic.com), the shockwave game was created in conjunction with the band members and features the hit single, "My Generation," off of its new album, Chocolate Starfish And The Hot Dog Flavored Water.
A contest is being held in conjunction with the launch of the game, which tests players' ability to stage-dive before being thrown to the floor by two large bouncers. The individual with the highest score by April 16 will win two tickets, including airfare and accommodations, to see the band perform live at an undisclosed location. The lucky winner will also meet the band. One runner-up will receive an autographed drumhead. More information about the contest is available at (www.getmusic.com/alternative).
"GetMusic is thrilled to have had this exclusive opportunity to work with Limp Bizkit and Flip/Interscope in this capacity," stated Sandy Smallens, executive vice president of Programming and Content for GetMusic. "We are committed to creating original interactive music content that isn't available anywhere else, like the Limp Bizkit game, and to connecting artists and fans in totally unique ways."
In addition to playing the new game, Limp Bizkit fans can also visit GetMusic to watch out an exclusive video interview with Durst as well as to view two of the band's full-length videos, "Rollin" and "My Generation." Customers can also purchase the band's new album and other releases through GetMusic's online store, at www.store.getmusic.com.
