Party-Inducing Quartet To Ring In New Year With Kreayshawn

Additional Touring To Include Headline Shows Across CA
LOS ANGELES, November 17, 2011 - Wallpaper.'s year has been brimming with activity - getting "#STUPiDFACEDD," then getting animated for MTV's "Liquid Television" launch, and naturally, rocking the club circuit with barely a break. Yet Wallpaper.'s viral-hustling frontman Ricky Reed found time for a unique collaboration with Cee Lo Green, to produce and co-write the velvet-voiced crooner's infectious latest single, "Anyway," with Rivers Cuomo. The unexpected alliance churned out a synth-heavy R&B jam replete with signature pop hooks and Mr. Green's unmistakably smooth delivery.

As Wallpaper. winds down their most recent tour alongside The Dirty Heads (co-headliners Gym Class Heroes canceled due to illness), they have their eyes set on New Years Eve, as they will ring in the new year with fellow Oaklander, Kreayshawn. The show will take place at the Regency Ballroom in San Francisco, where they'll be champagnin' with no plans in the morning well into 2012, Ricky Reed style.  

The coming new year will kick off with a series of headlining shows, including the El Rey Theatre in Los Angeles on January 20, perfectly timed with the launch of Wallpaper.'s second single, "F*CKING BEST SONG EVERRR," at Rhythmic Radio. MTV has already taken the lead and premiered the video for the expletive-derived pop ditty and added it into rotation across MTV's channels, including AMTV, AMTV2, MTV2, mtvU and MTV Hits, and featured on MTV.com and MTV Mobile. The animated short was created by Christy Karacas (Super Jail, Cartoon Sushi), as a commissioned work by MTVX for "Liquid Television," currently available on LiquidTelevision.com.

Meanwhile, sports fans can rejoice as Wallpaper.'s "2 Pair a Shades" will be featured on ESPN's "Sportscenter LA" starting November 16. The song will be featured in various highlight and bump clips during the show, which airs 10pm PST/1am EST and repeats every hour until 5am PST.
