Create A Video For Far’s New Single, “Deafening,” and Win $1000
Los Angeles, CA – (May 24, 2010) – Vagrant Records and www.Talenthouse.com have collaborated exclusively with Far to open a world wide search for aspiring filmmakers to create their own music video for “Deafening,” the first single from Far’s new album, At Night We Live, which arrives in stores tomorrow, May 25.
To vie for this opportunity, filmmakers are asked to submit their videos to www.talenthouse.com by Monday, June 28. After which public voting will take place, starting at 10 a.m. PST, Tuesday, June 29 and will remain open until 10 a.m. PST, Thursday, July 1.
On completion of the voting period, Far will be presented with the top voted submissions (chosen by the public) and will pick a filmmaker from that pool. The selected filmmaker will not only have their video premiered on the band’s website but they will also receive $1,000. As a bonus, the top 10 voted on submissions will receive an autographed CD of Far’s new album At Night we Live.
Originally from Sacramento, California, Far are considered one of the most influential bands of the late 90’s. Though the band split in 1998, Far released four albums in their time together, including the seminal Water & Solutions and Tin Cans With Strings To You (Epic/Immortal). The band reunited at the end of 2008 for a few one-off shows to test the waters of a possible reunion. Shortly afterward, they were shocked to find that their just-for-fun cover of Ginuwine’s “Pony” had made it onto the airwaves. The excitement from the reaction to the band making music together again planted the seeds for At Night We Live. The band, now scattered throughout California, traded ideas and demos for a few months before getting together at guitarist and producer Shaun Lopez’s own studio in Los Angeles to record. At Night We Live is the band’s first new music in over a decade and has been described by Alternative Press as “….intoxicating and uplifting…a magnificent record that while fresh and exciting, could only be the work of Far.”
Far is Jonah Matranga (vocals, guitar), Shaun Lopez (guitar), John Gutenberger (bass), and Chris Robyn (drums).
