CREATIVE recently developed a new layer of B2F (aka Band to
Fan) interactive content for RELIENT K. The bands sophomore
release "The Anatomy of the Tongue In Cheek" (on Gotee Records,
management by Alabaster Arts) recently surpassed 100,000 units sold,
from which songs were requested for use in popular MTV programs Real
World and Road Rules by Bunim-Murray Productions, producers of the
networks top rated shows. The new content can be accessed at
www.relientk.com.
Relientk.com
now features a tour journal, photo gallery, updated news and a completely
integrated Touring channel designed to display data in partnership
with iTickets.com.
The tour journal allows the band to post notes from home or the
road at any time with anything that comes to mind, particularly to
the mind of band member Matt Thiessen! Fans of the band will appreciate
such philosophical entries as the Mohawk-no Mohawk discussion, counting
the change at the local Giant Eagle grocery store, and a brief film
contrast of Spiderman to Batman. Fans can live virtually with the
band through this journal.
The PHTGRPY channel (photo gallery) features a photo essay dedicated
to Dermike, along with band pictures, while the sites home page
now runs the latest news bytes from the band. Fans can also access
current tour dates through a custom interface designed by Big
Man Creative to incorporate tour data directly from the iTickets.com
database.
As Matt Thiessen put it, "Its already 1230 am, and i'm
scared cause i'm not asleep yet."
