Spiral Trance To Perform Virtual Concert In Second Life
Milwaukee, WI (PRWEB) November 10, 2007 -- November 21st promises to be a rockin' night at the Psycho Drive Rock Club, located in the 3-D virtual world Second Life, www.secondlife.com. Wisconsin's 2006 Song of the Year award recipients and 2007 Rock Band of the Year nominees, Spiral Trance, will perform their first ever in-world show.
The 1-hour performance will be streamed into Second Life using partial backing tracks with live vocals. The live audio stream allows band members to interact with the virtual audience in real time, creating a simulated live concert atmosphere. Spiral Trance merchandise and digital downloads will be available at the show. Free avatar T-shirts are available for all guests. A "Best Rock Star" contest will be held and $1,000 prizes will be awarded to male and female winners in Second Life's virtual currency, Lindens.
Second Life is an internet-based virtual world first launched in 2003. Owned by Linden Lab, 9.8 million accounts have been registered since the initial launch. Second Life provides a unique opportunity to musicians in that it provides a stage that is accessible to the millions of registered users. Music performance has become so popular that in 2006, Linden Lab added an "Event Category" to accommodate the increasing number of concerts.
Formed in 1995 by Singer/Guitarist Paul Karcz, Spiral Trance has recorded one full-length record and a series of EP's, many of which were produced at Smart Studios in Madison, owned by Nirvana Producer and Garbage Drummer, Butch Vig. The band has gone on to achieve critical success both locally and nationally, with two LA Music Award performances and nominations, including "National Artist Of The Year." In 2002, Spiral Trance placed in the Top Ten at the ASCAP Grammy Showcase Awards for the song Hellacious and in 2003 for Breathe Again.
