MTV’s love for Dallas band The Bright continues on The Hills

by PegNews wire

The indie pop/rock band The Bright has received its fourth song placement in the popular MTV reality show “The Hills”. Dating back to season 4, the band has received placement for the songs “Cemetery Street” (episode 16), “I’ve Got A Feeling” (episode 18) and “Almost Maybe” (the season finale, episode 20) which is now available on DVD. All of the songs are from their latest self released effort In Lucid Dreams.

More recently, the ballad “Almost Maybe” was again featured but this time as the closing song of the season premiere of season 5 airing on April 6th, 2009 (18:22 into the show viewable at: http://www.mtv.com/videos/the-hills-season-5-ep-1-dont-cry-on-your-birthday/1608283/playlist.jhtml) “It’s an exciting time for us and our hard work is beginning to pay off,” states lead vocalist Julie Lange.

“The most important thing for us is that our music be heard and that’s an extremely difficult thing to do in the current state of the music industry, especially for a band doing everything without any financial or label support. We are honored that MTV likes our songs enough to have them play a key emotional part of the show. Placement in lots of forms of alternative media is huge and if that's our springboard for bigger things, I'll certainly seize the opportunity.”

The Bright is slated for more song placement in other formats including the theme song for a video game “Severity” (produced by Dallas-based Escalation Studios), which is scheduled for release as an application for the iPhone due out in late 2009. They are also currently working with a Hollywood production team to provide the theme song for a feature film set for production in 2010 and the song “Don’t Pull Me Down” was featured in the Dallas produced film Karma Police (directed by John Venable) released on DVD in February 2009.

The Bright will perform at the Dallas International Guitar Show at Dallas Market Hall on April 17 at 1 p.m.
