UPDATE: This will air 1/16 at 12am.
The info's sketchy, so better check that.
If you've at all delved into what I've written, you know how much I love Radiant*. I blame Levi Smith for getting me started on blogging and photographing the music scene. It is absolutely all his fault. And I couldn't be happier about that on most days. Radiant* showed me that good bands aren't necessarily on the radio (especally in Dallas) and that my favorite CD could be of undiscovered songs. I always thought that would change rather quickly for Levi, Dragan, Daniel, and now Jesse (still miss seeing Jon up there), but it didn't. They slogged out another two years still relatively unknown. It's not likely that only one appearance will catapult them to the big time, but geez, NYE on Jimmy Kimmel? That's not a bad way to try!
So, here's wishing my fav local band "Good Luck." I hope they will no longer be my fav LOCAL band, but a national headliner, as I've long thought they deserved. I'm hoping that someone will have Jimmy Kimmel on at Poor David's Pub on NYE.

PONTIAC GAVE ONE UNDISCOVERED BAND THE CHANCE TO PLAY IN FRONT OF MILLIONS IN NEW YORK'S TIMES SQUARE THIS NEW YEAR'S EVE AND APPEAR ON "JIMMY KIMMEL LIVE"
Pontiac unveiled details for the brand's biggest music promotion ever - a nationwide musical talent search and contest. The promotion, "Countdown to 1" gave one unsigned band the opportunity to compete for the ultimate prize: the chance to appear on Jimmy Kimmel Live and play on the Pontiac Garage Stage in New York's Times Square during the annual New Year's Eve celebration, where traditionally only the biggest bands have performed. Guess what… Radiant WON!!! Radiant was chosen by a panel of judges from Pontiac and Jimmy Kimmel Live.
Radiant won the breakthrough booking of a lifetime - the chance to open for POD and My Chemical Romance in Times Square on New Year's Eve in front of a million people, as well as an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live. The performance will air on major networks across the Globe, not to mention every Jumbo Tron in Times Square on New Year's Eve.
As a bonus, Radiant is being followed by a camera crew from Dallas to NYC for a period of 6 days for a later spot that will air on Jimmy Kimmel Live the week of January 7th (TBA). During this time they will be recording in the famous Electric Lady Studios where Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin and many more have recorded. Radiant will also make appearances on the National CBS Morning show Saturday December 30th, 2006 and Fox and Friends Morning show (TBA).
