Music AND Baseball?

The MLB All-Star game is tonight at 5 p.m. and as riveting as it is to watch a baseball game, non-fans have another reason to watch - the premiere of the new freecreditreport.com bands during the commercials!

Over the past three years, American families and couch potatoes alike have grown to love the quirky freecreditreport.com band in their pirate hats, their crappy cars, and even RenFair garb, but it is time for a new jingle! Experian’s freecreditreport.com, an Orange County-based company, and MTV have sponsored a nationwide search for a new band and have narrowed the field (get it? it’s like baseball!) down to four acts from across the nation: Evolove from Los Angeles, I Love Monsters from New York, The Poets Dance from Chicago, and the online submission by The Victorious Secrets from Sterling Heights, MI.

Each of the four finalists will be featured during the commercials of the FOX broadcast of the MLB All-Star Game to compete for their chance to walk the red carpet at the 2010 MTV Video Music Awards and perform on the 2010 VMA Tour.  In addition, the winning act will receive a $10,000 check, an exclusive Gibson Guitar prize package, a Pearl Drum kit valued at $12,000 and a studio recording session with music industry veterans.

Voting begins Tuesday, July 13, for America to pick the final winner at www.freecreditscoreband.com.  The polls will be open until August 9 and participants can enter a sweepstakes to win one of four Epiphone Casino guitars valued at $1,000 each.  One vote per person every 24 hours.  Tune in and vote!
