SANTA MONICA, Calif., Oct. 27 /PRNewswire/ – Soon, some lucky fan will become the fifth member of Puddle Of Mudd and enjoy a week of rock ‘n’ roll glory. The Flawless/Geffen Records band is launching the “Puddle Of Mudd Platinum Pass” contest, giving away sensational prizes including the grand prize: being the fifth member of the band for seven days!
The winner and a guest will have their own bus accompanying Puddle Of Mudd on tour next year, joining the band in all their rock n’ roll activities, including: oversleeping, showing up late for meet-and-greets, and being chased by girls down hotel hallways. The winner will also receive an autographed guitar. Ten other top winners will each receive an autographed guitar.
The Platinum Pass contest coincides with the band’s new album Life On Display, now set for release November 25th. The winning Platinum Pass and ten first prize passes will be enclosed in eleven random pressings of the initial run of the cd.
As extra value for consumers, the enhanced cd features interviews with the band, footage of the making of the album, and will also allow fans to access exclusive content on the Puddle Of Mudd website (www.puddleofmudd.com ), making them eligible to attend special concerts, purchase band merchandise and more.
Life On Display was recorded in Los Angeles, with production duties shared between John Kurzweg, Michael “Elvis” Baskette and the band themselves. The new album’s premiere single “Away From Me” went for adds at Modern Rock, Active Rock and Rock radio on October 14th. It was the number 1 most added song at all formats and is currently in the top 5 at Modern Rock and Top 10 on the Active Rock charts.
Life On Display follows the phenomenal 5 million-plus sales of the band’s 2001 debut Come Clean. Come Clean spawned no less than four #1 alternative and rock radio hit singles (“Blurry,” “She Hates Me,” “Control” and “Drift And Die”), with “Blurry” becoming the most played track on Modern Rock Radio for 2002 and scooping the ASCAP award for most played song of the year.
Puddle Of Mudd – Wesley Scantlin (vocals, guitar), Paul Phillips (guitar), Douglas Ardito (bass) and Greg Upchurchwon four Billboard Music Awards last year: Rock Artist of the Year; Modern Rock Artist of the Year; Rock Track of the Year (“Blurry”) and Modern Rock Track of the Year (“Blurry”).
