VEVO PREMIERES FIRST OF ITS KIND MUSIC VIDEO FOR “BLOW UP THE MOON”
SONG FEATURES BLUES TRAVELER WITH 3OH!3 AND JC CHASEZ (FROM *NSYNC)
FILMED WITH GRAND THEFT AUTO V ROCKSTAR EDITOR
NEW YORK, NY (September 15, 2015) – VEVO has exclusively premiered the new music video from GRAMMY award-winning band Blues Traveler for the song “Blow Up The Moon” off their April 7th release of the same name, Blow Up The Moon. “Blow Up The Moon,” featuring Blues Traveler with JC Chasez and 3OH!3 – watch it HERE, was created using the new Rockstar Games Rockstar Editor, a special feature in Grand Theft Auto V for PC that allows players to record, edit, and share videos created from footage in both Story Mode and GTA Online. All of the live action shots were filmed on GoPros.
“Our video director, Will Schmidt, came to us with the idea of using Rockstar Editor in Grand Theft Auto V and we were intrigued and psyched to try it out,” said the band. “We thought it would be a cool idea to create a music video using the technology they provide and since we haven’t seen anyone else out there doing this yet, we thought it would be a great idea for the song. We are over the moon with the results. We think the video turned out great and hope our fans and the fans of GTA will love it too.”
Blues Traveler released Blow Up The Moon on April 7th on Loud & Proud Records and features clever collaborations between various artists including Thompson Square, Plain White T’s, 3OH!3, Hanson, Jewel, Secondhand Serenade, JC Chasez (*NSYNC), Bowling for Soup, New Hollow and Thomas Ian Nicholas. Blow Up The Moon sees Blues Traveler keep an open-minded perspective on making music and enlists an eclectic mix of songwriters influenced by the band’s remarkable 25+ year career that includes multi-platinum albums and a commanding live show that continues to draw thousands of fans.
Blues Traveler have been on the road in support of Blow Up The Moon playing for massive crowds and spurring amazing off-the-cuff and unexpected collaborations between John Popper and such artists as Passion Pit, Foo Fighters (see it HERE) and at Red Rocks with Hanson, JC Chasez, Guster, 3Oh!3 and Rome Ramirez from Sublime (see it HERE) to name a few.
