JUNKIE XL CONTINUES ‘BOOMING BACK AT YOU’
WITH TOUR DATES, EXCLUSIVE REMIXES OF MADONNA’S “4 MINUTES” AND EAGLES OF DEATH METAL FOR NIKE’S ‘THE NEXT LEVEL’
EUROPEAN AD CAMPAIGN
PLUS NUMEROUS SYNCS FOR TV (‘GOSSIP GIRL’), FILM (‘21’),
GAMES AND MORE
Since the release of
Booming Back At You (Artwerk Music), his fifth studio album in March, the one man band known as JUNKIE XL has performed at the Ultra Music Festival, SXSW and many hotspots around the country; appeared on the covers of
Electronic Musician,
DJ Times and
LA City Beat; and took a ride as the first artist ever to perform on the Coachella Express, the first Amtrak train ride from Los Angeles to Indio, CA where he also performed at the nation’s top music festival.
JUNKIE XL (aka Tom Holkenborg) now rolls into summer with hot new exclusive remixes for Madonna and Eagles of Death Metal, an impressive list of high profile syncs and new North American tour dates. On his new round of tour dates, JUNKIE XL will pass through such markets as Charlotte, Washington, New York and Atlanta. He’ll also perform at the Pemberton Festival in Canada and the historic Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Denver, CO.
Back in 2002, JUNKIE XL remixed Elvis “A Little Less Conversation” for Nike’s famous “Secret Tournament” spot, which resulted in a chart-topping world-wide hit. This year, he teams up again with the major sports manufacturer to remix Eagles Of Death Metal’s “Don’t Speak” for their “The Next Level” European ad, which is directed by Guy Richie and features the biggest names in soccer. Tom says: “I have been a fan of the Eagles of Death Metal for years, ever since I heard
Piece Love And Death Metal. To me they are such an underrated band and it was an honor to work with there music. I hope this spot allows a lot of people to discover one of the coolest bands in the world.” The spot can be viewed here:
