A CURSIVE MEMORY GIVES FANS A NEW WAY TO CONNECT ON THEIR MOBILE PHONE - FIRST U.S. BAND TO USE SCANLIFE TECHNOLOGY

(October 14, 2008) - Southern California's A CURSIVE MEMORY is heading out on their headlining fall tour armed with a brand new way to reach their fans. The group released their debut album, Changes (Vagrant), earlier this year and with their first single, "Everything" the young band made waves at Radio Disney, MTV’s TRL and on this summer’s Vans Warped Tour.  And now, ACM is the first band in the U.S. to begin using the ScanLife 2D barcode technology developed by New York based Scanbuy, Inc.

Fans can use ScanLife on their camera phones to automatically scan an EZcode (or 2D barcode) printed on the band’s tour posters and website (www.myspace.com/acursivememory).  The codes will link directly to a special web page where they can download exclusive content from A Cursive Memory, including wallpaper, a ringtone, tour dates and the record-setting “Everything” music video.

“ScanLife’s technology is a remarkable addition to entertainment marketing,” says Jeremy Maciak, head of New Media at Vagrant. “Posters, flyers and even billboards can be augmented with this ‘physical world hyperlink’ giving the target audience a much richer media experience, and allowing marketers to make stronger impressions.  A Cursive Memory is the perfect band to debut this technology because of their young, tech-minded fan base.”

ScanLife handset software is compatible with hundreds of phones on every major mobile operating system including BREW, Java, Symbian, Palm, Blackberry, Apple iPhone and Windows Mobile. To get the application, users can text SCAN to 70734 or go to www.getscanlife.com on their mobile browser. iPhone users can download the free ScanLife software from the App Store.

“We are pleased that Vagrant Records leading the way in the use of 2D barcode technology,” said Jonathan Bulkeley, Chief Executive Officer of Scanbuy. “This provides an immediate link to both free and paid mobile content which will benefit the music industry as a whole. This is sure to provide a unique experience for any fan of A Cursive Memory.”

A Cursive Memory begins their seven-week headlining tour on October 1 with a hometown area show in Anaheim, CA. The band features the dual vocal/guitar combo of Shaun Profeta and Colin Baylen, the keyboard/bass simultaneous stylings of Mark Borst Smith and drummer Dillan Wheeler. Stay tuned as ACM will soon be launching their follow-up single and video, “Perfect Company.”
