The event starts at 11:oo AM Eastern.  Check out Jimmy Twinkle and the BAD playing Rock Band for 20 hours straight from the MTV store in New York City here.

They may not have sold out Madison Square Garden or have a contract with a major record label, but on Nov. 13 at 11 a.m., four young Rock Band™ players from Grand Rapids, Mich., will know what it feels like to be rock stars when they perform a 20-hour Rock Band concert at the MTV store in Times Square. The performance will kick-off the Energizer “Advance into Overdrive” Battle of the Bands, the longest online battle in Rock Band history.

The four musicians, also known as Jimmy Twinkle and the BAD, were recently named America’s favorite Rock Band band by Facebook users across the country. Not only will the Michigan band get the chance to perform in Times Square, they will receive rock-star treatment throughout their visit including luxury ground transportation, a hotel suite and dinner at one of New York’s hottest restaurants.

“We are just four average guys from Grand Rapids, so to be treated like rock stars is absolutely a dream come true,” said Jameson, lead singer of Jimmy Twinkle and the BAD. “We are grateful to our fans for helping us get this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. We cannot wait to rock out Times Square.”

More than 115 bands competed for the chance to play at the kick-off event. Interested Rock Band bands had to create a band profile within the Energizer Rock Band “Advance into Overdrive” Facebook application and had two weeks to populate their page and gain fans. At the end, Jimmy Twinkle and the BAD took first place for having the most fans and the most creative, interactive and entertaining content.

Check out a preview of the band below.

3. Make sure to be following @RockBandAide on Twitter!  If you’re not following, I can’t DM you, and I’ll move on to the next person!

I will choose a winner at 4:00 PM Eastern, so you have until then to take care of the requirements above.  The lucky winner will be chosen using the web tool here, and I will confirm they have entered their Twitter name in the comments on this page.  It’s going to be US/Canada only, because I’m not sure how region-coding would work across the different consoles with US versions overseas.  Standard rules apply (no multiple Twitter accounts, only enter once, etc.).

Thanks, and good luck!

The Times Square performance signals the start of the Energizer “Advance Into Overdrive” Battle of the Bands series. The Battle of the Bands is an in-game feature that allows the “Rock Band” community to play against one another remotely in themed battles. The “Advance Into Overdrive” Battle marks the first Battle of the Bands series and the longest online Battle of the Bands in “Rock Band” history. Players from across the country will compete against each other on the longest songs in the “Rock Band” catalogue to see who, at the end of the day, is the most Advanced “Rock Band” star.

Starting Nov. 16, in the Battle of the Bands’ section of “Rock Band 2,” users will see the Energizer “Advance Into Overdrive” Battle, which will be divided into three stages (battles) by difficulty level: Battle One: Tune-Up (Nov. 16), Battle Two: Power Through (Nov. 18), Battle Three: Advance Rock (Nov. 20). All battles will be available for multiplayer bands and single players, where solo players and bands alike can compete for prizing.

The top scoring band and most Advanced rock stars of the series will receive the entire “Rock Band” DLC catalogue of over 800 songs and a year’s worth of batteries to power their game play, as well as an Energizer “Rock Band” prize pack including an Energizer branded, one-of-a-kind guitar cap for your “Rock Band” guitar, “Rock Band” t-shirt and other cool swag items. The top-five scorers from the series will also receive DLC tracks as well as the Energizer “Rock Band” prize pack.

Upon entry and completion of any level, players will be entered into the Energizer “Rock Band” “Advance Into Overdrive” Battle Sweepstakes, which includes prizes like The Beatles: Rock Band Limited Edition Bundle, the Ion Drum Rocker, DLC tracks and much more.

Wait to hear more from Harmonix and Energizer, but start tuning your plastic guitar now!
