Last year, JVC Mobile completely rethought its marketing strategy by dedicating the majority of its marketing and media budget to an explosive online viral video featuring Josh Todd of Buckcherry and Jacoby Shaddix of Papa Roach. Actively promoted throughout the inaugural Crue Fest, the top rock festival of the summer, the video shattered industry records for a product advertisement as it garnered over 5 million views, with video imbeds on thousands of individual community site pages such as MySpace, YouTUBE, and other blog sites.

This year, JVC Mobile has increased the stakes, with a larger production and a more expansive video concept, including over a dozen shoot locations and a cast and crew of over 60 people. The intensive 2-day shoot took place at the world-renowned Universal Studios back lot and the CBS Studios New York Street lot, with creative director/writer, Danny Klein (e2amp) and director, Steven Lippman (Steven Lippman Print + Film) at the helm. "TURN ME ON 2" stars Charm City Devils who are featured on the Crue Fest 2 Tour this summer, and Darling Stilettos, managed and produced by Matt Sorum for One Gun Music Management, along with 7 beautiful women, all of whom race to an impromptu block party guided by their JVC Mobile navigation systems. As with last year's video, the action in TURN ME ON 2 is driven by a diverse soundtrack emanating from the JVC Mobile in-dash units, which includes new songs from Charm City Devils, Darling Stilettos and The Last Vegas.

"We experienced significant sales growth from last year's 'Turn Me On' video exposure and we anticipate even bigger results from this year's campaign," said Bill Turner, Vice President for JVC Mobile Entertainment.

Along with rock stars, entertainment, and great music, the viral video incorporates key interactions with JVC Mobile's in-car technology, including the revolutionary proximity sensor, iPod/iPhone utilizing a full speed USB connections, Bluetooth compatibility, touch screen controls, and navigation capabilities. "Our new viral video is a great snapshot into JVC Mobile's core demographic," said Chad Vogelsong, General Manager of Marketing for JVC Mobile Entertainment. "The video makes our product the 'hero' by using it to navigate to a fun destination, while also entertaining everyone on the way to the destination."

Media partner Spin Magazine has been tapped to assist in marketing, distribution, and hosting of the video at www.spin.com/turnmeon. This exclusive page will include a Behind the Scenes "Making Of" video, with interviews and testimonials from the cast and crew. Users will be able to grab imbed codes and site links from the Spin.com to spread the "TURN ME ON 2" video around the web. The page will include an email opt-in area to capture JVC Mobile fan emails, as well as a "Buy Now" button that will take users to the Dealer Locater page the JVC Mobile's website. This page will also feature a one-month free MP3 download promotion, which will allow viewers to download music from the viral video soundtrack before it is available for purchase.

JVC Mobile will be an official sponsor of Crue Fest 2 this summer, which stars Motley Crue, features Godsmack, Drowning Pool and Theory of a Deadman and introduces the Charm City Devils. The campaign will be actively promoted on the Crue Fest 2 tour (www.CrueFest2.com) with the viral video featured on the closed circuit venue screens at each show date as well as on the web assets for Charm City Devils, the Darling Stilettos and The Last Vegas.

Live Review
Darling Stilettos ? Dragonfly, Hollywood

Wed, 27 May 2009

Live Review: Darling Stilettos ? Dragonfly, Hollywood
Rock n' roll doesn't have to be a boys' club.

The Darling Stilettos are smoking hot proof of that. In fact, these four vivacious vixens could be some sort of female superhero collective?ready to save rock n' roll from becoming forever de-sexified by bad haircuts and tight guy jeans. Remember that line in Pulp Fiction about Mia Wallace's pilot, Fox Force Five? Well, The Darling Stilettos could very well be the real Fox Force Five, and they're here to make things right. Each girl has her own style and aura that's both sexy and sophisticated. Ace Harper nails each and every high note with a bang, as Gina, Allie and Lindsey carry hooks and execute burlesque choreography with panache and passion. On stage at The Dragonfly last night, DS played a raucous set to a packed house. It was a half-hour of pure rock ecstasy, as legendary drummer Matt Sorum (Velvet Revolver/Guns N' Roses/Camp Freddy) pounded the skins while the girls rocked.

In some ways, The Darling Stilettos are the antithesis of Steel Panther. Whereas Panther espouse '80s groupie gospel through encouraging toplessness and stage-grinding, The Darling Stilettos possess some serious "grrrl power." All clad in leather pants and tight tops, the girls have a futuristic look that pays homage to the classic aesthetic while adding a modern edge. Think The Pussycat Dolls with attitude, and you'll get the right idea. More importantly, the girls can sing, dance and charm even the most jaded rocker into submission.

After welcoming everyone to "The church of rock n' roll," Matt introduced the girls. All eyes immediately shifted to them, and they wasted no time with the rock. Matt quickly assumed his spot behind the kit, and bashed out the rhythm to Led Zeppelin's "Rock N' Roll" with a fire and fury that'd make John Bonham proud. Over the course of the night, The Stilettos busted out a set of classics and originals. Everything was fueled by Matt's impenetrable rhythms, and it was the perfect rock n' roll concoction. "Rock N' A-Go-Go" was bombastic and arena-ready, while "Devil's Little Rebel" allowed the girls to get sultry on the slow and entrancing verse. David Bowie's "Rebel Rebel" has never been this sexy, as the girls' lithe dancing brought it to life, and "It's Only Rock N' Roll" felt prepped for a stadium sound system. Each girl got her time in the spotlight too, showing that the team all has the goods.

Mixing the best elements of punk and rock, The Stilettos put on a sexy show with the right dose of classic swagger and hot n' hypnotic presence. Maybe Tarantino should make a movie about them...They'd kill Bill with a wink?

Interview
The Darling Stilettos

Mon, 08 Jun 2009 15:29:04

The Darling Stilettos dish about rock n' roll, their forthcoming album, working with Matt Sorum, West Side Story and a new brand of superhero...

"Feel the vibe, man," says legendary drummer Matt Sorum [Velvet Revolver, Guns N' Roses, Camp Freddy].

Sitting between Sorum and The Darling Stilettos in a booth at The Rainbow, there's definitely a vibe, and it's a good one!

That's not just because Ace, Gina, Lindsey and Allie are a scorchin' hot gang of rock n' roll chicks. There's a lot more to the Stilettos than that. In fact, the quartet makes some of the catchiest rock anthems to burst speakers since Joan Jett held the genre by the balls.

Songs like "Devil's Little Rebel," "So Rock N' Roll" and "Rock N' Roll A-Go-Go," bristle with bombast and charisma. Think AC/DC, but with way better choreography. They put the Pussycat Dolls to shame when it comes to dancing too!

Sorum pounds the kit for them, and his percussive prowess takes everything to another level. These four beautiful rock rebels talked to ARTISTdirect.com about their forthcoming album, live show, West Side Story and why rock needs superheroes.

Event: Darling Stilettos show in Hollywood (Exclusive interview)

August 4, 2009

f you are looking for something to do on a given Thursday night, you may want to check out Rock and Roll a Go Go, a new weekly performance by the Darling Stilettos at Cinespace nightclub in Hollywood.

The Darling Stilettos, a quartet of sultry sex kittens, blare through the speakers every week with rock and roll anthems in a set full of fist-pumps, hair-flips, and hip thrusts.

Ace, Gina, Lindsey, and Allie started out as a dance troupe, but have moved on to taking the stage as a fiesty singing act, accompanied by legendary Guns and Roses/Velvet Revolver drummer Matt Sorum (who also happens to be dating founding member Ace). The sensuous show features the girls in some of the greatest punk-rock stage outfits ever: plaid mini skirts, leather heel boots, leotards, belts, studs, chains, ripped shirts, suspenders, you name it.
