Los Angeles, CA - August 10, 2004 - id Software¿, one of the world¿s leading video game developers, today announced that it has tapped Tweaker for a rare live performance at the upcoming QuakeCon event, on August 14th.
QuakeCon is a free convention held every year in the Dallas, TX area. Thousands of computer gamers from all over the world make the pilgrimage to play on a giant gaming network, see the latest cool technology, and compete in a world-class tournament. Though mostly volunteer run, QuakeCon is sponsored by id Software, makers of the immensely popular DOOM, QUAKE, and Wolfenstein series of games.

Tweaker, which recently finished up a national tour with Skinny Puppy, is the alter-ego band project of Chris Vrenna and Clint Walsh. Chris Vrenna is a Grammy award-winning artist, founding member of Nine Inch Nails and a record producer-remixer known for his work with a ¿who¿s who¿ of artists including U2, Weezer, David Bowie, Smashing Pumpkins and Marilyn Manson amongst many others. Tweaker recently released their 2 a.m. Wakeup Call CD (Waxploitation / iMUSIC), the highly anticipated follow-up to the debut The Attraction To All Things Uncertain CD.
2 a.m wakeup call was produced and composed by Vrenna and Walsh and features guests including Robert Smith (The Cure), David Sylvian, Will Oldham, Jennifer Charles (Elysian Fields), Hamilton Leithauser (The Walkmen), Mellowdrone and Johnny Marr (The Smiths).
