Riddim Ribbon: The Smash New iPhone Game Featuring The Music Of The Black Eyed Peas!

Do You Have The DJ Skills To Ride The Rhythm Of The Black Eyed Peas?

Introducing RIDDIM RIBBON, the exciting new musical experience from the masterminds behind the #1 most downloaded game in the iTunes App Store, TAP TAP REVENGE. Race and roll to smash hits and special remixes of the biggest BEP songs, including BOOM BOOM POW, I GOTTA FEELING, and MEET ME HALFWAY!

For a limited time: Everyone who buys the game in the US iTunes store gets an FREE exclusive MP3 download of "Meet Me Halfway (Jeepney Halfway Remix)" by The Black Eyed Peas!

Says will.i.am, "I am so excited about this game... it makes you re-think the concept of playing a song... It makes you re-think the remix... (In this game, the original master and its remixes are played) 'not played played' but actually 'played'...(The future)" Download Riddim Ribbon now.

In the world of RIDDIM RIBBON, you guide a spinning ball as it races and rushes down a twisting, turning ribbon that's floating in a dynamic digital sky. With the beats of The Black Eyed Peas pumping in your ears, you use the ultra-sensitive tilt controls of your iPhone / iPod Touch to stay in the groove.

Each fork in the ribbon presents a new direction for you to take the mix of the song. Jump the ramps to reach upper levels, where wild audio effects kick in and the sound becomes more uniquely yours. Roll over pebbles and hit targets to maintain your speed through the checkpoints, but watch out for beat-dropping obstacles! If you veer off the groove too long, instruments start fading, the vocals lose their pitch, and the track falls apart. The better you play the game, the better the song sounds!

Bundled with 3 smash hits from The Black Eyed Peas (Boom Boom Pow, I Gotta Feeling, and Meet Me Halfway), with in-game remixes from David Guetta, Zuper Blahq, DJ Ammo, and more! Check out the Riddim Ribbon Store for top tracks from Tiësto and more huge artists, with new music added frequently!

Test your skills in the Riddim Ribbon launch contest! Every day for 30 days, one Riddim Ribbon player wins the entire Black Eyed Peas catalog, which includes Behind the Front, Bridging the Gap, Elephunk, Monkey Business, and The E.N.D.! Then, one grand prize winner gets a pair of Beats By Dre Headphones! But wait, how do you win? Get Riddim Ribbon. The player that posts the highest score (on any set) is the winner for that day.

International superstar Agnes was the youngest winner of Sweden's American Idol at 17 years old, and now only four years later she is poised to take the US pop music scene by storm. The rising star is currently featured on Access Hollywood's "On The Download" where she is deemed an artist to watch in 2010! Agnes has made a huge splash in the dance/club scene with her infectious single "Release Me" and is ready for the mainstream as the song crosses over to pop radio.

"My music is pop, dance and a little bit disco," says Agnes. "The songs on this album - it’s a lot of up-tempo songs - but the most important thing is just having good songs and good melodies. I like to debut my songs just singing to guitar accompaniment, so that people can hear the melodies."

THIS SATURDAY FEB 13, 2010!

SDC PRE TOUR KICK OFF CONCERT @ THE SLIDEBAR IN FULLERTON, CA!
FREE SHOW! 21 & OVER! 

New record from *The Flatliners*, out April 13th!

THE FLATLINERS have completed work on their new album Cavalcade. It’s packed with 12 infectious songs and will be released on April 13th. Check back soon as we’ll be unveiling a brand new track in the next few weeks. Read what Chris, singer of THE FLATLINERS, had to say:

When we were on tour last March, we met Joey from Full House (aka Dave Coulier) in a bar in Cleveland. I drunkenly slipped him a copy of ‘The Great Awake’ and we began talking about music and Canada. He turned out to be a pretty cool dude, other than ironically wearing a Betty Ford Clinic shirt while drinking red wine. Anyways, after Uncle Joey left the bar that night, the jokes began that we would name our new record ‘Dave Coulier Has Our Last Record.’ Once we sobered up in the morning and realized that was an awful idea, we decided to name our new album ‘CAVALCADE’. And we are beyond stoked to announce that it will be coming out this April on FatWreck of course.
Since every record is vaguely conceptual even if you’re not going for the painful uber-concept-record thing like Coheed and Cambria, and since we basically live like homeless people while we’re on tour most of each year, ‘Cavalcade’ has taken on the overall theme of unity through disconnectedness. Happiness in uncertain times. Humanity is flawed but we can all still party, right? That’s what we wrote about, and that’s how we live. We love what we do an couldn’t be happier with the way it has all turned out.

This record has been quite the experience for us already and it hasn’t even been released yet. To record an album between tours can become a bit of a fucked up process, but its been really cool to take our time with this one and include a lot of friends in the making. The writing and recording of ‘Cavalcade’ saw different seasons, exciting new jams, and now that we’ve announced it, an overall sense of accomplishment and relief. We were lucky enough to be able to include our friends from some great bands such as Dillinger Four, Cancer Bats, A Wilhelm Scream, Permanent Bastards, The Snips, Junior Battles and The Expos/Cavaliers, and have them all contribute a little something each. Cheers to all our friends for singing/playing on the record, to Fat Mike for coming up to work on stuff with us, to Ted Janik for helping us with all the technical difficulties, to Steve Rizun for being a fucking machine, and to Alex Snelgrove and John Meloche for making our record look incredible. We can’t thank these people enough for stoking us out and fueling our happiness. Most of all though,cheers to everyone out there who is as excited about this record as we are. We can’t wait for you to sing along with us.

OneRepublic cover Robbie’s ‘Millennium’ | OneRepublic | News

OneRepublic recently dropped in to record an exclusive acoustic set for the Sun's Biz Sessions, and as well as singing their massive hit 'Apologize' and new single 'All The Right Moves', they covered Robbie Williams' classic 'Millennium'.

Ryan commented that 'Millennium' was Robbie's biggest hit in the US, and speculated that that the reason he never made it big in the states is because he was "too good"!
