DESPERATE MEASURES VIDEO CALL OUT FOR DOLLS:
Marianas Trench needs your help creating their next video for Desperate Measures. The video shoots soon, there's no time to waste, so here's the details -- Make a doll of your favorite band member, or all band members. The dolls can be any style and any size. That means, for example, that you could create a Tim Burton Nightmare Before Christmas style doll of Josh that is 12" tall, or, for example, you could create a Ken style doll of Matt that is 18" tall, or a Teddy Bear style doll that looks like Mike, or a Super Hero doll that looks like Ian. Anything goes! Create your doll from scratch. Augment an existing doll. There are no rules so unleash your style and creativity and create the greatest doll (or dolls!) you can and send them in. ALL DOLLS WILL BE IN THE MUSIC VIDEO but the three best dolls (or sets of band member dolls), as determined by the awesome people at 604 Records, will win prizes! So make sure to send your contact info with your doll submissions. Dolls need to arrive at 604 Records by Tuesday May 8, 2012. You can send your dolls to:
