Suzuki, the music-loving Japanese car manufacturing company will use The Parlotones' "Life Design" as musical anchor with their coming publicity campaign for the next generation of the "Swift"-compact car in Germany. Thereby, the automotive company focusses on one of the hits spawned by the successful "Stardust Galaxies"-record which strongly underlined The Parlotones' status as biggest rock stars in South Africa. The one-year campaign will start this September and feature the song in various length online as well as in TV and radio.

As support act for Unheilig, Down Below currently enthrall the audience with their mind-blowing shows.

Here's just one of many enthusiastic reactions: http://www.regioactive.de/story/10648/fotogalerie_unheilig_live_im_schwe...

Ben Ivory's first Single is out! And since Ben is an artist who uniquely combines music, fashion and attitude, he also shot a classy video for "Strobelights". The director was the popular fashion designer Kilian Kerner who is close to Ben since he invited him to musically accompany his collection at the Mercedes Benz Fashion Week. It became a huge success. And so it comes as no surprise that Ben will musically present this year's collection at the Mercedes Benz Fashion Week again.
