Christmas With Weezer: Six Exclusive Weezer Christmas Songs For iPhone
and iPod touch from the Makers of Tap Tap Revenge
 
Los Angeles, CA., – [[December 4]], [[2008]] – Weezer, one of the most original and beloved bands around, and Tapulous, the leading iPhone applications developer, today announced Christmas With Weezer, an original game for the iPhone and iPod touch that will go on sale within the next few days. Featuring new music by Weezer, the game takes full advantage of the innovative Multi-Touch capabilities and accelerometer as players tap and shake their phones to the tunes of six classic Christmas songs covered by Weezer.
 
"I agreed to do these special recordings for the game because I am a fan of each of the songs. The melody and vocal lines are incredible and it was fun to sing them," added Weezer frontman Rivers Cuomo.
 
Christmas With Weezer is built on the powerful next-generation engine of Tap Tap Revenge, the popular music game for iPhone and iPod touch, where users tap and shake their devices to the tunes of the music, but with rich new features and a fun, family-friendly look to fit the holiday spirit. The music is funky but authentic, since Weezer kept the original lyrics in these favorite Christmas songs. Weezer fans can hear the band performing six Christmas classics, including "We Wish You A Merry Christmas", "Silent Night", "O Holy Night", "First Noel", "Hark The Herald Angels Sing" and "O Come, All Ye Faithful", along with two bonus tracks. The six Christmas cover tracks were recorded exclusively for this game, and are not available anywhere else.
 
"I love my iPhone and all the apps that you can download," said Weezer drummer Pat Wilson. "I love that our band is the first to actually record songs specifically for an app and Tap Tap Revenge seemed like the perfect one. I am excited to tap along to what we recorded and hope it brings holiday cheer to all kinds of different thumbs and fingers."</blockquote>
