Drive Invasion’s supa dupa website

When Drive-Invasion 2007 revs up at the Starlight Six Drive-In from Saturday-Sunday, Sept. 1-2, I probably won’t be there. I don’t have anything against it ... just not my thing. Besides, I’d rather see Billy Childish at the Decatur Book Festival.

But I have to admit that the Drive-Invasion website is impressive. The launch page is a Shockwave animation that lights up Drive-Invasion’s logo like an electric billboard. Click on the music page, and then the bands’ tabs (which include rockabilly legend the Blasters as well as local heroes like Tiger! Tiger! and the Woggles), and each band name turns into a photo as a short description floats above it. The movie page is even better: As you click on the tab for each flick, a short snippet from the movie’s trailer begins to play. Neat!

Other goodies include a game where you can drive a hot rod over a bunch of cars like Evel Knievel. I’d love to know who designed the Drive-Invasion 2007 website ... it’s on some next-level shit.
