30 SECONDS TO MARS ROCKS OUT ON XBOX LIVE Band to Challenge Gamers in Latest Xbox Live ’Game with Fame’ Session Fresh off their first MTV Video Music Award nominations for “Best Rock Video” and "MTV2 Award" for “The Kill,” 30 Seconds To Mars are calling on all gamers to challenge them in the next Xbox Live ‘Game with Fame’ session. The rock band continues its North American tour for their latest album, A Beautiful Lie, which continues to climb up the Billboard 200 charts. Fans who are interested in gaming against the group should keep an eye out for the Xbox Live gamertag ‘30SecondsGWF’ from 6:00 p.m. - 9:00 p.m. EST/3:00 p.m. - 6:00 p.m. PST on Tuesday, August 29, 2006 gaming in Madden NFL ‘07 for Xbox 360. “Through the magic of Xbox Live we’ll be able to invite all of our fans from all over the world to join us in this interactive gaming party. We are excited to be invited to be a part of this inventive technology that brings the important element of community to the technological and creative frontlines. We are looking forward to talking with everyone from around the world during what will be a great event” stated singer Jared Leto. 30 Seconds To Mars released their second record, A Beautiful Lie, through Virgin Records on August 30, 2005 to critical acclaim. Alternative Press Magazine wrote “But after soldiering through adversity and slaughtering the sophomore slump, they just might be rock’s best-kept secret. He [Jared Leto] sings with a range and ease that makes cathedrals jealous.” Revolver Magazine said "His intensity and passion clearly inform the textural hard rock of A Beautiful Lie. Like the band’s 2002 self-titled debut, the album boasts echoing riffs, moody bass lines, and strong vocal melodies that evoke a radio-friendly mix of Nine Inch Nails, U2, and the Cure." Metal Edge Magazine named A Beautiful Lie one of the best CDs of 2005. Continuing to tour through the end of 2006, 30 Seconds To Mars recently completed their first ever headlining tour which sold out across the country; they also played Bamboozle, Lollapalooza, and had a stint on The Warped Tour.
