New York Bands: Now’s Your Chance To Feel Like You’ve Won The Lottery

lotterytixarray_000.jpgActually, it’s more like your chance to be as famous as that guy wearing a pirate’s hat in the FreeCreditReport.com ad–or maybe even these guys! A casting call just came across our transom: “Looking for a cool indie rock band to be in a New York Lottery commercial. Bands can be male or female or both but members must be in their 20′s. Must have lots of style, charisma, attitude, and energy. Think Franz Ferdinand, The Arcade Fire, Grizzly Bear, Band of Horses, Bloc Party, Cold War Kids, Mars Volta, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, etc..” By now there has to be some enterprising band out there that’s claiming all those influences simultaneously, right? I sure hope tryouts for this are at Pianos! [Thepunkguy]

    Maybe these guys can reform:

  2. bcapirigi

    that’s the best commercial ever.

  3. Catbirdseat

    What??? Are they trying to replace the 2nd best commercial ever (after IO Digital Cable Reggaeton)?

    That’s pretty awesome! I’m glad more states are having cool lottery campaigns and promotions like this! Minnesota has one going on right now called Cash & Concerts where you can win music downloads and concert tix on top of cash! More states need to hop on things like this!
