Crystal Method have come up with a more creative and exciting way.....they

The Crystal Method is happy to announce that each person who brings along a
copy of the inner booklet from their Legion of Boom CD will get to meet the

FUSE, V2 RECORDS AND THE CRYSTAL METHOD
UNLEASH THE LEGION OF BOOM WITH A 50-CITY TOUR AND PARTNERSHIP
Fuse, the only viewer driven, all-music network, continues to put up the
music as they gain momentum in the music television world. The network
announced that they have partnered with The Crystal Method (Ken Jordan and
Scott Kirkland) for an upcoming U.S tour in support of their V2 Record
release Legion Of Boom. The tour kicks off on February 26 in Sacramento, CA
and further underlines Fuse¹s commitment to supporting bands, record labels
and delivering music to fans. The deal will include: exclusive
announcements by The Crystal Method on the Fuse signature daily show IMX:
Interactive Music Xchange, behind-the-scenes access with the band, tour date
announcements, streamed interviews and a dedicated The Crystal Method artist
feature area on www.fuse.tv. The tour will be aggressively promoted by Fuse
with on-air and online efforts to include local, and national print
advertising. ³This is so great working with a channel whose main focus is
playing videos, we are psyched!² explains band member Ken Jordan.
³Born Too Slow², the first single from The Crystal Method¹s Legion Of Boom
album, features contributions from former Kyuss singer John Garcia and
ex-Limp Bizkit guitarist Wes Borland. The track, currently blowing up on the
airwaves, has already cracked the top 25 Modern Rock singles chart. Legion
of Boom sold close to 25,000 copies during its first week in release placing
it at #36 on the Billboard Top 200 chart, a career high for the band.
Additionally, the album has occupied the #1 spot in the main iTunes Store
since its release on January 13th. The announcement of the 2004 Dancestar
Awards nominations marked yet another highpoint with The Crystal Method
receiving nominations in five key categories including ³Best Act² and ³Best
Album.² Accolades and hype aside, Legion of Boom has been dubbed the duo¹s
best work to date. Full of dense textures, pulsing rhythms, and electric
grooves, the album features innovative collaborations with Roots rapper,
Rahzel, San Francisco poet/recording artist Hanifah (formerly known as
Sha-key), Lisa Kekaula of the Bell Rays, and instrumental maverick Jon
Brion, among others.
³Together, Fuse and The Crystal Method are about to start a journey that
will rock America. The broad exposure we gain by sponsoring their tour is
significant in furthering the awareness and impact of our brand among true
music lovers² explains Mary Corigliano, Vice President of Marketing for
Fuse. Fuse is cable television¹s fastest growing digital network, nearly
doubling their subscriber base from 18 to 31 million households (Nielsen
Universe, April 2003), further establishing them as the new music television
destination.
As a ³Thank You² to their fans, The Crystal Method is happy to announce that
each person who brings along a copy of the inner booklet from their Legion
of Boom CD will get to meet the band following each and every show.
