DISTURBED To Take Part In Free Interactive Online Concert Series

May 7, 2008

DISTURBED is one of the artists taking part in a global free concert series launched by DeepRockDrive, the world's first interactive online concert venue.

Presented by Pepsi, five compelling live acts will be performing to global audiences beginning May 16 through May 29, 2008. Kicking off with country music's hottest new act, LADY ANTEBELLUM, on May 16, the series continues with YouTube sensation MARI DIGBY on May 18, singer/songwriter/ guitarist MATT NATHANSON on May 27, R&B performer LLOYD on May 25 and culminating with hard rock's DISTURBED on May 29.

Each concert will feature interaction between fans and artists using the revolutionary service that DeepRockDrive has created.

By logging on to www.deeprockdrive.com, music fans around the world will experience a live, online, interactive exchange between performers and their audience where the fans collaborate with artists in real-time to build magical live experiences. Fans can send shout outs to the stage, vote on the next song in the set, personalize camera angle selections and send digital applause to the artists on stage in the form of emot-applause, which are video game-like icons, such as hearts, fists, and lips that blow a kiss. These animated icons appear on giant screens in front of the artists while they perform.

Thanks to the support of Pepsi, the shows in this series are available free of charge, bringing a front row seat to music fans from Las Vegas to London, San Francisco to Singapore, and anywhere where a broadband connection is available.

Of the band's participation in DeepRockDrive, DISTURBED singer David Draiman said, "We are looking forward to taking part of something this unique and powerful."

The innovation extends to the marketing of the concerts, as DeepRockDrive's service enables a direct bridge between artists and their fans.

Free tickets for all shows are available now at www.deeprockdrive.com. Fans can grab a ticket and invite all of their friends.
