The Startling Line are working on finishing their first DVD. They could use your help!

Here is a message from the band via myspace:

Somebody’s Gonna Miss Us DVD

Hello TSL fans…
We’re in the process of putting the finishing touches on our first official TSL DVD. The “Somebody’s Gonna Miss Us” DVD will be released sometime after the new year, and we’re looking for something that we need your help with.

The last TSL show was at Bamboozle, if you were there, and took photos, we’d love to possibly use them for the DVD…more specifically, we’re looking for a shot of when we finished the set…it was a pretty intense moment and we’ve love to have it on this DVD.
If you have any photos from that show, please email them to:

TheStartingLineAreDead@yahoo.com

Include your name and email address, if your photo makes it in the DVD, we’d love to hook you up with a copy.

We’ll be setting up a flickr page with all the photos as well…and will let you know when it’s up and running. Hope you’ve been great, can’t wait for all of you to see the DVD!

-Matt
