THE AUTOMATIC STEP UP A GEAR FOR GAME WITH FAME ON GEARS OF WAR
London, December 2006 – Welsh wonders, The Automatic, will be giving their fans an early Christmas gift this year when they become the latest band to Game With Fame on Xbox Live®. The boys will be playing Gears of War™ on the Xbox 360™ and will no doubt be asking – “what’s that coming over the……….” as they battle the locust hoards in this chart topping game.
Rob, Pennie, Frost and Iwan have enjoyed a meteoric 2006 in which their debut album ‘Not Accepted Anywhere’ has clocked up more than 200,000 sales. Their new single ‘Raoul’ is out on the 8th January 2007.
The band have even seen their music blast out on the club scene with legendary DJ Norman Cook busting their summer anthem – ‘Monster’ – on dance floors across the country. B-sides on the new single ‘Raoul’ include Fatboy Slim’s remix of ‘Monster’ and the boys own unique take on Kanye West’s ‘Gold Digger’.
The Automatic will be taking time out to join the Xbox360team for an exclusive Xbox Live GWF on Gears of War, the hottest title of 2006.
On December 11th between 5pm and 7pm (GMT), fans will have the chance to chat and game against the band. The gaming session will also be available on Xbox Live Vision.
