NATION’S LARGEST LIFESTYLE CUSTOM CAR SHOW
ROLLS INTO BOSTON

XM Satellite Radio’s Hot Import Nights lifestyle car show arrives at the Bayside Expo Center on April 30 with more live music, cars and entertainment than ever before

Vision Entertainment brings the 2005 XM Satellite Radio Hot Import Nights (HIN) tour to the Boston Bayside Expo Center on April 30. The HIN show, presented by Valvoline Synpower, is the largest lifestyle custom car show in the nation and the only one of its kind that brings together all elements of youth and car culture in one night.

In addition to hundreds of the hottest custom cars competing for prizes in several categories, event attendees are treated to non-stop entertainment, including live music, multiple DJs, model and celebrity appearances and the nation’s top car designers displaying the latest in custom car trends. The show, beginning at 5 p.m. and ending at midnight, costs $25 for general admission and $55 to enter the car competition.

The 2005 HIN season kicked off last month in Los Angeles, breaking all previous records for attendance, number of cars displayed, variety of live musical acts, number of exhibitors and sponsors as well as number of model and celebrity appearances. This show turnout demonstrates the growth and popularity of the car culture scene and its broad appeal to a variety of car and entertainment enthusiasts, including celebrities. Celebrity Los Angeles attendees ranged from Brooke Burke, the sexy host of several E! Entertainment Television shows and recent Stuff cover girl, to hip-hop artist and reality show star of “The Surreal Life,” Flava Flav. Several members of the musical group the Black Eyed Peas also attended.

Hot Import Nights saw a 30 percent increase in attendance at all shows last year, and event
organizers already see an even bigger growth for the 2005 tour. With this growth comes new
sponsors and improved attractions, including the XM Satellite Radio VIP Lounge creating a club-like atmosphere within the show, and the McDonald’s Are You Mac Enough?™ Challenge offering the first ever people’s choice award for favorite show vehicle.

In addition to the car show, HIN features more live entertainment than ever before. Moonshine Record’s DJ MISS LISA performs live on the Mazda Electronic Music Stage with a procession from RAVI Drums, and more than 20 go-go dancers perform to the various sets of today’s electronic music hits. The Mazda stage also hosts XM Radio’s live set. Live on the Pepsi Stage, host DJ Lady Tribe spins hip-hop music while accompanied by local DJs. Also performing are local and national artists from the urban community, including dance troupe showcases, DJ performances and b-boy battles.
