Lockout

Music, dreams, fame, and conflict are just some of the ingredients in this original web series. Unlike most music based reality programs that focus on already established artists or prefabricated bands, LOCKOUT goes straight for the jugular to bring audiences a true, down and dirty look at how emerging bands struggle to break through to the big time.

LOCKOUT is not only a show about making it in the music business, it’s a unique opportunity that captures the raw experience of living with passion. Viewers will see young artists giving everything they have as they make music and try to have their songs heard around the world. Lockout will inspire, provoke and definitely rock.

Background

This internet series originally created for Eveo.com in 1999.

Hybrid Theory

One band featured in LOCKOUT was Hybrid Theory. They were taped on February 24, 2000 rehearsing material for their first album. The band's rehearsal space at the time was located on Hollywood Boulevard between the intersections of Hollywood Boulevard and Ivar Avenue, and Hollywood Boulevard and Vine Street. They are seen playing versions of "Esaul", "Slip" and "Rhinestone". Before releasing their debut effort, the band changed their name to Linkin Park.

Jeff Blue is also featured in one of the episodes, playing a demo CD containing versions of "Untitled" and "Super Xero".

Around 2.5 hours of footage were filmed and it became a big sought after item among fans. Over $10,000 is wanted by Marc Ostrick for the full raw footage.
