Australian Pop Music Sensation to Use ShoZu’s Mobile Phone Video Service During Events in NYC On Valentine’s Day; Vlogs to Celebrate Worldwide Release of Debut Album

London, UK, 14 Feb 06 - ShoZu, the simplest and quickest way to share photos and video using a mobile phone, today announced that Warner Brothers Music’s smash pop band The Veronicas will take part in the first ever video-blog (vlog) coverage of events surrounding the worldwide release of their debut album, The Secret Life of the Veronicas. The vlogs, posted on Internet sharing site Textamerica using ShoZu technology, will be available to fans around the world, providing intimate and near-instant video of The Veronicas’ personal appearances and NYC concert gig on Valentine’s Day, February 14.

Paced by their hit single, 4ever, Australian pop sensation The Veronicas has taken the music world by storm. Twin sisters Jess and Lisa Origliasso from Brisbane, Australia, have parlayed their unique harmonic blend to create a global teen following. Their exciting promotional events and concert date at Avalon in New York City on Valentine’s Day will be an off-the-hook highlight of their American concert tour.

The February 14 activities also mark the first time that any major music corporation has partnered with a mobile Internet technology provider to generate near real-time video blogs. Jess and Lisa, along with their band, will be using four ShoZu-equipped mobile phones all day long to record their experiences. With a single click of their handsets, Jess, Lisa and their band members will be able to instantly share their personal video clips as the thrilling day unfolds. Within seconds, the clips will be on Textamerica, available to fans across the planet..

‘February 14 will be a landmark day for fans of The Veronicas. We at ShoZu are incredibly excited to work with Warner Brothers Music and Textamerica on this groundbreaking video blog event,’ said Mark Bole, CEO. ‘No matter where they go or what they do that day, in or out of wireless coverage, The Veronicas will never have a problem uploading their videos—ShoZu technology automatically manages the process to ensure that every video is posted flawlessly.’

ShoZu is a free, downloadable application that is not carrier-specific. The software only requires a GPRS or 3G Internet data connection and can be used on more handsets than any other similar photo sharing service.
