Market Wire, 20050229
Infinity Systems, a leading manufacturer of high-performance loudspeakers and systems for home and car audio, has signed on as a supporter of the Farewell I tour of the Eagles and their charities. The 36-city tour began on May 9 in Richmond, VA, and will continue through the summer.
The Eagles are among the most influential rock bands in history. They were one of the first bands to blend country and folk with rock music to create a classic sound that transcends musical boundaries. The Eagles have sold more than 120 million albums worldwide, earning four number one U.S. singles and four Grammy Awards. Their "Greatest Hits 1971-1975," "Hotel California," and "Greatest Hits Volume 2" have sold more than 50 million albums combined. The Eagles were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1998.
As a supporter of the Eagles' nationwide tour, Infinity will maintain a highly visible presence at all of its 46 stops. The company's name will be featured on signage at the venues, as well as on programs, tickets, advertising and other media. Infinity's extensive support program will include national and local media and retail advertising, a Web site-based consumer sweepstakes and other activities.
Eli Harary, Infinity Brand Manager, noted: "We are truly honored to support the Eagles on their Farewell I tour. The Eagles' drive for musical excellence along with their powerful emotional impact goes straight to the heart of their audiences. These are the very same qualities that Infinity has always aimed for in its line of high-performance audio/video products."
"Our commitment to the musical experience is both emotion and art, that's why we believe the Eagles are a perfect match."
