Press Release for July 3rd, 2010
SYNOPSIS: Press Release for July 1, 2010
 Warner Bros. Television Group (WBTVG) is returning to Comic-Con International: San Diego in unprecedented fashion in 2010. A star-studded lineup of performers, producers and other members of the creative teams of a record 14 series from Warner Bros. Television, Warner Horizon Television and Warner Bros. Animation will be on-hand for panel sessions, screenings, media appearances and autograph signings. This will mark the largest contingent of talent from WBTVG ever assembled for the world’s leading pop culture convention. (In 2009, WBTVG featured 12 television series at Comic-Con.)
1. Thousands of American fans have been patiently waiting and AnimeUSA is happy to say the wait is almost over. Jhouse-Rock ENT is pleased to announce 12012 live in concert at the 2010 AnimeUSA convention! 12012 is no stranger to the US but after a few years away they are finally coming back. This revolutionary group has been through it all with no hint of ever slowing down. Having been together for over 7 years the band will be releasing their 10th album "SEVEN" this coming July. One of the pioneers of the visual kei scene, 12012 is still evolving and growing in popularity with every concert. If you missed them before here is your chance to experience what others have been waiting for and talking about for years. AnimeUSA is November 12-14, 2010 at the Hyatt Regency Crystal City located in Arlington, Virginia. More details about the 12012 concert and other events with the band will be announced shortly so be sure to check back. 2. Echostream will be Anime USA's secondary act.
Their music draws the audience into a singular world, where haunting melodies swirl over grooving beats and unique instrumentation. Drawing on classical sensibility, the music includes techniques and arrangements normally only found in stuffy concerts populated by grey-haired old ladies. Here, those same instruments are let loose like beasts released to roam the wilds in search of adventures. Pianos, French Horns, Mandolins, Theremins, and of course the standard rock fare - drums, bass, guitars - abound, blending and accentuating one another to create a sound that is just as at home in a movie, on TV, or in a game, as it is on a festival stage. Echostream is not a new band, although you may only now be discovering them. Over a history of five years, two self-released albums, multiple licenses for TV and compilations (both domestic and abroad), and many large-venue performances (for audiences of over 1,000 people), the band has honed its sound and skills to an exceptional level. 3. Cristina 'Vee' Valenzuela is a anime and video game voice actress residing near Los Angeles, California.
