Rock Out With Infendo contest winner announced!

Monday, December 8th, 2008 at 4:38pm by David

This was honestly one of the coolest bunches of entries we’ve ever had.  As each entry came in, Infendo HQ was buzzing with comments about “oh, this one is clearly the winner” and they just kept getting better.

The votes are tallied, the judges were nearly split, but we have come to a consensus.  Congratulations to Justin with his video featuring a variety of bizarre rhythm instruments and his friends covering 1979 by the Smashing Pumpkins!  A winner is you!  We’re sending him a copy of Guitar Hero World Tour Deluxe Band Kit and can’t wait to see how he and his crew rock out with it!

But we can’t go away without giving an honorable mention runner-up award to Kid Pomona with Infendo Dot Rock!  This song will serve the distinct honor of being the new theme song for Infendo Radio and we’ll be sending a copy of Guitar Hero On Tour: Decades to Kid Pomona for all of his hard work.

Hit the jump for the winning video and the runner-up!

    congrats everyone :)
    fun contest indeed, I’d like to do one again sometime

    Wow. Thanks so much. It was really nerve racking!

    I actually expected the majority of the videos to be guys putting on blonde wigs, torn jeans, lip-synching to “Welcome to the Jungle”. I really didn’t expect to see Reel Big Fish, Blind Mellon, and some old-school “Dead Milkmen”-esque music… seriously, Kid Pamona… what a fun song. I was expecting you all to yell out:

    “Mr. Huberty!”
    “Yes, God?”
    “You wouldn’t happen to have any power tools?”.

    Um… yeah… I’m old. Look it up. You’ll like them.

    Thanks for voting, and congrats to all the entries and thanks for the props.

    GLEE!

    INFENDO 4-EV-ER!~

    Props to the winners. I’m glad KP still gets something for his effort. While he came in second place, his entry definitely wasn’t second best.

    Congrats guys.

    @ JewWario

    Ive looooved Dead Milkmen for years!

    “The man said keep your head and arms in the MIXER at all times, but little Bill JR….HE WAS A DAREDEVIL!”

    Hahah I could quote them for days.

    Thanks to everyone who liked our entry and major thanks to Infendo.

    You guys rule!

    Bravo sirs. Bra. Vo. I’m gonna throttle you guys cause I tap danced in a tinsel halo and yellow batman vest for naught. Good work Justin!

  6. David says...

    Heh .. I thought the song by Kid Pomona sounded sort of like The Descendents, but Dead Milkmen works, too!

  7. JewWario says...

    Well, if you’re ever in Colorado Springs (or if we can get you GH4 on the Wii and online) let’s all form a band! Just us entrants!

    I’m sure you all could come up with a groovy name for us all… but I get to be Billy Corgan (laughs).

  8. Kyle says...

    can I be ronnie James dio?

  9. Kid Pomona says...

    Only if we can name our band the Salsa Sharks.

    I’m down with playing online.
    I have the basic guitar bundle for World Tour so um I call guitar haha.

  10. Blake says...

    Thanks to all who submitted entries. I especially liked the Infendo Hero box cover. Nice!

  11. JewWario says...

    Well, I’ll let you all know when it arrives and we can play some Guitar Hero 4 gameage!
