Kia Motors Continues Relationship with Punk Rock Music Tour
Soul Lounge features autograph sessions, interactive activities and vehicle displays
Concertgoers who show their enthusiasm for Kia Motors may receive Kia VIP wristbands by participating in Kia-related games

IRVINE, Calif., June 24, 2010 – For the third consecutive summer Kia Motors America (KMA) will head out on tour to more than 40 U.S. cities as “Official Vehicle of the 2010 Vans Warped Tour®.” Hosting on-site events and activities during each tour stop inside the interactive Soul Lounge, fans can check out and obtain information on Kia vehicles, including the personalizable Soul, which was named a 2010 “Top Safety Pick,” by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS); the performance-inspired Forte Koup, which recently was selected to “Top 10 Cars For 2010” list by PregunteARicardo.com; and the completely redesigned all-new 2011 Sportage compact CUV, launching in the U.S. market this summer.

“Sponsorship of the 2010 Vans Warped Tour is a natural fit for the Kia brand since the tour reaches the influential youth market,” said Michael Sprague, vice president of marketing, KMA. “We are delighted to provide concertgoers with interactive elements like a live DJ, exclusive autograph sessions, VIP wristbands and the opportunity to check out Kia’s latest vehicles, while listening to their favorite bands.”

At each tour stop, festival attendees will have the opportunity to visit the Soul Lounge, an interactive tent featuring a live DJ, airbrush tattoo artists, an Express Your Soul “Confessional” and exclusive daily autograph sessions with two of the biggest names on tour, Hey Monday and Christofer Drew of Never Shout Never. The Soul Lounge also will feature acoustic performances by Hey Monday and Christofer Drew of Never Shout Never in select markets.

Festival participants also may earn Kia VIP wristbands for exclusive access to a dedicated VIP riser near the main stage, providing shade and unobstructed views. To receive a VIP wristband, fans are given an opportunity to show their enthusiasm for the Kia Motors brand by participating in a variety of Kia-related games inside the Soul Lounge.

As in previous years, Kia remains the “Presenting Sponsor” of the Kevin Says Stage, a solar-powered stage that provides local bands the opportunity to play their music for 2010 Vans Warped Tour concertgoers. Kia Motors’ interactive tour blog, “The Warped Word of Steve,” provides fans with behind-the-scenes insights, videos and photos as well as answers to fans’ questions throughout the tour. Steve’s blog can be accessed at fuse.tv/kiawarped. KMA also is offering fans the chance to win a brand new Kia Soul in the “A New Way to Roll” sweepstakes. Fans can enter online and view official rules at fuse.tv/newwaytoroll.

“We are happy to have Kia Motors onboard as ‘Official Vehicle of the 2010 Vans Warped Tour,’” said Kevin Lyman, Vans Warped Tour founder and producer. “We have found concertgoers enjoy visiting the Kia tent for its fun interactive activities.”

Sierra’s Blog: hey Vultures!

Sierra has two new blogs today, one features an audio clip (which is available below) and a full on entry about the band’s merchandise.

every time i listen to this track it puts me in a trance. its the coolest/weirdest thing.
literally hypnotizing
The Sound of Animals Fighting
Lude
The Ocean and The Sun

Here is an excerpt of the merchandise blog:

So the point of me asking the question about merch is because we are currently putting together shirts for upcoming tours and i want them to be absolutely amazing. i really want to stray away from the puke of random meaningless designs. i dont mind the colors or the craziness but it needs to mean something, it needs to go along with the themes of the record, it has to make sense to the band and make you guys say “OOH i totally get it”

a handful of you mentioned that i should make my dreams into merch designs and i think that is such a cool idea. my dreams seem to be the aftermath of whatever song we were working on in the studio that day & i remember the detail so well but i cant draw worth shit. i know some of you are really talented artist and maybe you could read thru the dreams ive posted and draw something up for us.
i cant promise you it will be used and this isnt a contest! but im curious to see what you guys could come up with.
send your brain magic to me.
in fact any ideas that you guys have send my way,
you are the reason for everything we do!
