NokiaUSA.com to Host Exclusive Worldwide Premiere of Panic At The Disco's New 'That Green Gentleman' Music Video

- Video will feature winners of Nokia Star Sync sweepstakes -

WHITE PLAINS, N.Y., April 30 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- For Panic At The Disco fans the wait is almost over as Nokia will exclusively host the world premiere of the band's new music video, "That Green Gentleman," for three days starting on May 2, 2008 at http://www.nokiausa.com/.

Visitors to the website on May 2 will be the first in the world to watch Panic At The Disco's latest video from their second album, "Pretty. Odd.", which was released in March.

"We are excited to work with Nokia to bring this exclusive opportunity to our fans," said Brendon Urie, lead singer of Panic At The Disco. "We are so eager to share this new video with all of our fans and are thrilled to have it premiere online through Nokia."

Even more exciting for music fans may be that this latest video, "That Green Gentleman," will feature the fans themselves. Earlier this year, Nokia came together with Panic At The Disco to give 25 contest winners the opportunity to be an extra in their newest video. The Nokia Star Sync contest traveled across the country in search of America's best lip sync talent and captured videos of contestants lip syncing to their favorite songs. The Nokia Star Sync videos, which were shot with the state-of-the-art Nokia N95, were then uploaded to http://www.nokiausa.com/starsync where America voted for the best videos. Nokia rewarded the expert "lip syncers" with an all expense paid trip to Los Angeles to be part of Panic At The Disco's "That Green Gentleman" music video. After the taping of the video, the contest winners were treated to a private performance by the MTV Video Music Award winning band.

"As the world's largest manufacturer of digital music players, Nokia's collaboration with Panic At The Disco symbolizes Nokia's commitment to connecting people through great music experiences," said Craig Coffey, Vice President of Marketing for Nokia, North America. "We are excited about premiering this new video on the Nokia website and know it will be enthusiastically received by Panic At The Disco's many fans as well as our large numbers of Nokia customers who visit our website each day."
