POWERMAN 5000 TO RELEASE HOME VIDEO LATER THIS YEAR;
BAND ASKS FANS TO BE A PART OF IT WITH THE
“TONIGHT THE FANS REVOLT! CONTEST”;

STADIUM TOUR WITH METALLICA, KORN, KID ROCK KICKS OFF JUNE 30 IN BOSTON

POWERMAN 5000–SPIDER ONE (vocals), ADAM 12 (guitars), M.33 (guitars), DORIAN 27 (bass) and AL 3(drums)–will release their first home video on VHS and DVD later this year. The full-length video compilation will feature an inside look into the world of POWERMAN 5000, with live and behind-the-scenes footage from the road shot by the band themselves. Since POWERMAN 5000 are so dedicated to their fans, they’re also going to include footage of actual PM5K fans.

To this end, the band have put together the “Tonight The Fans Revolt! Contest.” Starting May 15, POWERMAN 5000 began accepting video entries from all POWERMAN 5000 fanatics who want to show the group (and the world) just how big of a fan they really are.

Fans can enter by making a VHS videotape of themselves talking, acting and basically showing their admiration forPOWERMAN 5000 in “any way they like,” says the band. “The more creative and weird, the better.” For example: fans could explain why POWERMAN 5000 is their favorite band; what is their most memorable POWERMAN 5000experience; and they could impersonate the band and act out the lyrics to a song. The entry-with good, clear quality suitable for reproduction–should be no longer than 10 minutes in length. Fans can send the video-with the following information written on a piece of paper along with their entry: their full name and address, phone number with area code, e-mail address (if they have one) and their age-to the following address:

POWERMAN 5000 HOME VIDEO CONTEST
c/o AGM MANAGEMENT
8484 WILSHIRE BLVD. SUITE 425
LOS ANGELES, CA 90211

The deadline for entries is August 31. Videos submitted automatically become the property of POWERMAN 5000, thus granting them permission to use the footage in the home video. POWERMAN 5000 themselves will be viewing and judging the entries, and will decide on a handful of the best and most creative entries to include in the home video.

Details for the contest are also posted on the band’s official website, which is found at www.powerman5000.com.

Meanwhile, the band are also gearing up for the launch of this summer’s highly-anticipated Metallica tour with Korn and others in support of their platinum-plus TONIGHT THE STARS REVOLT! album (DreamWorks), which includes the current single and video (directed by SPIDER ONE) “Supernova Goes Pop.” The trek launches June 30 in Foxboro, MA and concludes July 16 in Phoenix, AZ. Commenting on the band’s involvement in this major rock tour,SPIDER ONE said: “After almost a year of touring straight [and with CD sales of nearly 1.5 million], this huge tour is an exciting way for us to finish out the year. Powerman is honored to be a part of the mayhem.”

Before joining the Metallica tour, PM5K will appear at prestigious radio festivals in their hometown of Boston and just outside Minneapolis later this month. Current tour dates are as follows:
