KOYONO Inc had announced earlier that VH1 will give the host, performers, and presenters who appear at the VH1 Rock Honors one of the new KOYONO BlackCoat Made for iPod jackets as a thank you gift.
The jackets all come from KOYONO's new Spring/Summer 2006 line and include special pocketing for gadgets, including an iPod, as well as ElekTex fabric control pads that can fully manipulate all the functions of the iPod.
The event will be taped in at the Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas on May 25th, 2006 and will be aired on VH1 May 31st and features tributes to Kiss, Queen, Def Leppard and Judas Priest, who will also perform with Foo Fighters, Godsmack and All-American Rejects. The event will benefit VH1 Save The Music.
The KOYONO has presented performers with new designs at VH1 and MTV events before and received rave reviews from many of the guests, including Mike D (The Beastie Boys), Ice-T, Shawn Wayans, Jim Carrey, Will Ferrell, Burt Reynolds, and many others. Public Enemy recently purchased KOYONO outerwear for the entire band.
KOYONO founder, Jay Yoo offers, “It has been a pleasure working with VH1 and getting to know these artists. We have met some of our best friends and consistent customers through these events.
The fact that the event benefits Save The Music has made us very excited to participate.”
The VH1 Save the Music Foundation is a nonprofit organization dedicated to restoring instrumental music education in America's public schools and raising awareness about the importance of music as part of each child's complete education.
