Free Online, Interactive Series Presented By Pepsi
LAS VEGAS, May 26 -- DeepRockDrive
(http://www.DeepRockDrive.com), the world's first interactive online concert
venue, today announced Everfine/ Atlantic recording group O.A.R. will be
the next major artist signed on to perform at the Pepsi Free Concert Series
at DeepRockDrive.
The June 16th performance will be the first opportunity for O.A.R. fans
globally to interact with the band in anticipation of their July 15th
release, All Sides, and the 36-date "All Sides Tour" this summer. O.A.R.
will perform their single, "Shattered," from their forthcoming album for
the first time live, giving the audience an exclusive front row experience
unlike any other.
O.A.R., which includes band members Marc Roberge (vocals, electric &
acoustic guitar), Richard On (electric guitar & background vocals), Jerry
DePizzo (saxophone), Benj Gershman (bass), and Chris Culos (drums) holds
the dubious pleasure of selling out New York City's famed Madison Square
Garden - twice, captured in concert on 2007's 2-CD set, Live From Madison
Square Garden, as well as a two-disc DVD package, with the same name. All
Sides is O.A.R.'s first new studio album since 2005's popular breakthrough,
Stories Of A Stranger, which included the band's hit singles "Love and
Memories," and "Heard The World."
"Performing at DeepRockDrive will allow us to bring new and old songs
to people wherever they may be," said Marc Roberge. "That's the beauty of
this show, communicating with an audience that is spread throughout the
world. All from Vegas, how can you beat that?"
Presented by Pepsi, the global, free concert will feature interaction
between fans and artists using the revolutionary service that DeepRockDrive
has created.

sending shout outs to the stage, voting on the next song in the set,
personalizing camera angle selections and sending digital applause in the
form of emot-applause(TM), which are video game-like icons, such as hearts,
fists, and lips that blow a kiss. These animated icons will appear on giant
