The event starts at 11:oo AM Eastern.  Check out Jimmy Twinkle and the BAD playing Rock Band for 20 hours straight from the MTV store in New York City here.

They may not have sold out Madison Square Garden or have a contract with a major record label, but on Nov. 13 at 11 a.m., four young Rock Band™ players from Grand Rapids, Mich., will know what it feels like to be rock stars when they perform a 20-hour Rock Band concert at the MTV store in Times Square. The performance will kick-off the Energizer “Advance into Overdrive” Battle of the Bands, the longest online battle in Rock Band history.

The four musicians, also known as Jimmy Twinkle and the BAD, were recently named America’s favorite Rock Band band by Facebook users across the country. Not only will the Michigan band get the chance to perform in Times Square, they will receive rock-star treatment throughout their visit including luxury ground transportation, a hotel suite and dinner at one of New York’s hottest restaurants.

“We are just four average guys from Grand Rapids, so to be treated like rock stars is absolutely a dream come true,” said Jameson, lead singer of Jimmy Twinkle and the BAD. “We are grateful to our fans for helping us get this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. We cannot wait to rock out Times Square.”

More than 115 bands competed for the chance to play at the kick-off event. Interested Rock Band bands had to create a band profile within the Energizer Rock Band “Advance into Overdrive” Facebook application and had two weeks to populate their page and gain fans. At the end, Jimmy Twinkle and the BAD took first place for having the most fans and the most creative, interactive and entertaining content.
