Grateful Dead Launches Much Anticipated Online Game: the Epic Tour Contacts: Aaron Perlut / 314-800-7218/ [email protected] Jason Elzy / 818-238-6220 / [email protected] Grateful Dead Launches Much Anticipated Online Game: The Epic Tour April 20, 2012 (Asheville, NC) – The much anticipated online game from rock band Grateful Dead featuring a digital world inspired by the history, music, and imagery of the legendary band today launched at GratefulDeadGame.com. Developed in partnership with the Grateful Dead and Rhino Entertainment by digital product development studio Curious Sense, the much anticipated “The Epic Tour” allows players to create and personalize dancing bear characters and enter a fantastical world inspired by the deeply revered cache of music and imagery of the legendary band. In “The Epic Tour,” players explore immersive environments on an adventure through Grateful Dead time and space, avoiding obstacles, collecting items, uncovering artifacts, and eventually making their way to some of the Dead’s most legendary concerts. Curious Sense developed the online experience through crowdsourcing – creating a website in which Grateful Dead fans browsed a catalog of more than 2,500 Grateful Dead concerts, voting for shows they deemed “epic.” After collecting more than 30,000 votes over a period of two months, the fans’ top ten Grateful Dead shows were announced, and those ten concerts will make up the destinations in “The Epic Tour.” “The game is designed to appeal first and foremost to Dead Heads, with an art style, sound design, and narrative authentic to the Grateful Dead legacy,” said Adam Blumenthal, president of Curious Sense, “But it’s also an opportunity to introduce the Grateful Dead to a new set of fans who have grown up with video gaming but weren’t able to see the Dead live. We’re designing ‘The Epic Tour’ as a new point of entry into the amazing universe and timeless appeal of the Grateful Dead.” An innovative entertainment product designed to appeal to the core fans and prospective fans alike is aligned with the vision of Grateful Dead Productions and Rhino Entertainment, who have worked closely with Curious Sense to provide access to content from the Grateful Dead archive and ensuring the overall quality of the product is respectful of the band’s legacy. “We're always looking for ways to bring the Grateful Dead's music and history to more people, and ‘The Epic Tour’ will do exactly in a unique and inspired way,” said David Lemieux, Grateful Dead Legacy Manager, “Curious Sense has created a fun, engaging and exciting game that uses the music and the most-voted-on shows as the basis to explore the world of the Grateful Dead. We're all really looking forward to seeing and hearing where this journey takes us” About Curious Sense Curious Sense designs (www.CuriousSense.com) builds and manages innovative online and mobile apps and game products based on content from major entertainment properties. Prior to founding Curious Sense, Adam Blumenthal was a digital strategist and producer for twenty years, at elite communications agencies such as R/GA, McKinney, and Burson-Marsteller.

  • "You Really Got Me": a Complete Charting Odyssey- How the Kinks Blew the Doors Off the British Invasion Against Fierce Competition and Scored Their First U.S
    "You Really Got Me": A Complete Charting Odyssey- How The Kinks Blew The Doors Off the British Invasion Against Fierce Competition And Scored Their First U.S. Hit Mark Teehan May 2016 Introduction As a powerful, iconic record, "You Really Got Me" both saved and launched the Kinks' illustrious career. As a musical statement, it was the embodiment of so many forces and emotions: rage, defiance, rebellion, perseverance, and survival. Most of all, it marked the culmination of a monumental struggle by the band to have the song recorded in a manner so that it sounded as they envisioned- original and reflective of their working-class roots, the way it did in their live concerts. Musically, "You Really Got Me" represented a dichotomy of sorts: its controlled, monolithic bass-heavy, strong percussive sound was built around a monster riff that stood in sharp contrast to the wild abandon and distorted, gritty tone of Dave Davies' unique, memorable guitar solo. This essay will initially set the stage by summarizing the creation of "You Really Got Me," its recording, its sonic characteristics, and progress on the UK charts. Afterwards, we will shift to the article's primary focus of analyzing the complex charting of the Kinks' landmark record in the U.S. Using the extensive array of surviving local radio station music surveys from pivotal markets across America, this writer will analyze the intricate connection between those local surveys and the national charts as they affected "You Really Got Me". Furthermore, in order to provide valuable insight into the American pop music industry of the mid-60's and a broader perspective into the commercial progress of the Kinks' record in the U.S., this writer will cover on a secondary basis the charting of another single from a rival British group.
