Indie Band Kazy To Feature On Scarface Soundtrack

In March, 7,000 bands and musicians were nominated for the impressive award. Myspace members were asked to give details of their favorite independent musician and their best track. A panel of judges that included top music and video game executives then decided on a list of 20 finalists. The winners were then voted for by the MySpace community. First place went to Kazy and the song Choke. As winners, they will join top rock band Wolfmother on the soundtrack for the game. Kazy will also be the opening act for Wolfmother at a gig in Hollywood. Runners up No Bare Feet and R-Mean will also perform at the event that will be witnessed by music industry insiders and video game executives as well as the public. Obviously, this represents not only a huge achievement for Kayz but also massive potential to get his name and, more importantly, his music heard by the general public. To beat 7,000 other contenders, finish in top spot, and feature on a video game that is set to be a huge release is one hell of a top prize in anyone’s books. The principle behind the competition was also a really good one. Vivendi took quite a plunge in guaranteeing a place on the soundtrack for the winner. It’s also another sign of just how influential MySpace has become in so many different circles. On this occasion it brought music fans, independent musicians and the video game industry together in one competition.
