WHITE PLAINS, N.Y., April 30 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ — For Panic At The
Disco fans the wait is almost over as Nokia will exclusively host the world
premiere of the band’s new music video, “That Green Gentleman,” for three
days starting on May 2, 2008 at http://www.nokiausa.com. Visitors to the
website on May 2 will be the first in the world to watch Panic At The
Disco’s latest video from their second album, “Pretty. Odd.”, which was
released in March.
“We are excited to work with Nokia to bring this exclusive opportunity
to our fans,” said Brendon Urie, lead singer of Panic At The Disco. “We are
so eager to share this new video with all of our fans and are thrilled to
have it premiere online through Nokia.”
Even more exciting for music fans may be that this latest video, “That
Green Gentleman,” will feature the fans themselves. Earlier this year,
Nokia came together with Panic At The Disco to give 25 contest winners the
opportunity to be an extra in their newest video. The Nokia Star Sync
contest traveled across the country in search of America’s best lip sync
talent and captured videos of contestants lip syncing to their favorite
songs. The Nokia Star Sync videos, which were shot with the
state-of-the-art Nokia N95, were then uploaded to
http://www.nokiausa.com/starsync where America voted for the best videos.
Nokia rewarded the expert “lip syncers” with an all expense paid trip to
Los Angeles to be part of Panic At The Disco’s “That Green Gentleman” music
video. After the taping of the video, the contest winners were treated to a
private performance by the MTV Video Music Award winning band.
“As the world’s largest manufacturer of digital music players, Nokia’s
collaboration with Panic At The Disco symbolizes Nokia’s commitment to
connecting people through great music experiences,” said Craig Coffey, Vice
President of Marketing for Nokia, North America. “We are excited about
premiering this new video on the Nokia website and know it will be
enthusiastically received by Panic At The Disco’s many fans as well as our
large numbers of Nokia customers who visit our website each day.”
