digital media company. “Otakfuku Rex are without a doubt one of the wildest,
most original bands I’ve ever run across,” says Xowville’s president, Ray

Xowville Music embodies a unique new approach to music and entertainment,
according to Cooper, former co-president of Virgin USA and UK. “We believe
today’s most exciting, engaging entertainment opportunities revolve around
‘social media,'” he explains. “Technology and the Internet are providing new
ways for artists to connect with their fans. MySpace messages, video mash-ups,
podcasts and remixes are an integral part of the bands’ music and visual
expression. And fans can participate in all of it.”

Cooper tapped Otafuku Rex as Xowville’s first act based on the band’s
music, unique character, and multi-media artistry, as evidenced by their video
and online popularity. Blending its seven members’ distinct musical styles and
techniques into a hip, appealing “mash pop” aesthetic, Otafuku Rex delivers
funky, danceable rock and hip-hop driven by their outrageous personalities. The
band has already developed a strong Internet and viral following, including
large and growing popularity in the MySpace social network.
