KORN TO MAKE THEIR NETWORK

TELEVISION PERFORMANCE DEBUT

MONDAY, OCTOBER 4

ON JIMMY KIMMEL LIVE;

KORN TO OFFER FAN CLUB MEMBERSHIP AT RETAIL STORES NATIONWIDE ON DAY OF RELEASE

KORN fans will get more access to the band with the upcoming release of their GREATEST HITS VOL. 1, due out October 5 on Epic Records.

First, the band will perform their Top 15 Active Rock track “Word Up!” on “Jimmy Kimmel Live” Monday, October 4.  This performance–on the show’s outdoor stage–marks KORN’s network television performance debut. KORN’s Los Angeles fans will get the chance to come down and see this historic performance. 

Additionally, in a precedent-setting deal with Target Stores, KORN teamed with the retail giant to sell point of purchase fan club memberships.  A $20 limited-edition gift card for membership to “Korn Kamp”  will be available adjacent to the GREATEST HITS VOL. 1 CDs at more than 1,300 Target stores nationwide.   Fan club membership entitles fans to pre-sales on concert tickets, exclusive content, and access to chats with band members. 

And, KORN fans don’t have to wait a minute longer to see the video for the band’s current single “Word Up!”; they just need to log onto http://www.bandbuilder.com/korn_greatesthits/index.php?ref_code=C56276 and use the Korn Greatest Hits online player.  

For the clip, director Antti J. Jokinen (Train, Beyonce) used gritty 16mm hand-held photography to depict all five members of KORN as dogs and the antics that  ensue on Spring Break in a party town.  The video begins as a mangy, flea-infested Chihuahua sporting Jonathan’s face struts down the middle of a dusty Tijuana (Mexico) street with confident swagger, singing out to all that will listen.  In the center of the action, four pitbulls are stretched out like they own the place–and judging from the crowd around them, they do.  As the camera pushes in for a closer look, it reveals that each of the pitbulls is another member of the band: Fieldy, David, Munky, and Head all look on as Jonathan saunters past  As the video progresses, the four dogs lay chase to jonathan’s Chihuahua and join in on the fun.  

KORN’s GREATEST HITS VOL. 1 is filled with one KORN classic after another.  The 19-track CD features KORN-ized versions of Cameo’s funk classic “Word Up!” and Pink Floyd’s alienation anthem “Another Brick in the Wall.”
