<p class="MsoNormal"><i>Los Angeles, CA- September 24<sup>th</sup> , 2012-</i> Liverpool’s talented trio,
<b>The Wombats </b>have announced the lucky winner of their Wombats Twitter contest is
<b>Jayna Doyle</b>. As you can see in the results, (<a href="http://map.thewombats.co.uk/">http://map.thewombats.co.uk/</a>) Jayna Doyle and her friends crushed the competition by collecting the most votes in their region by vigorously tweeting ‘to vote’ for
their city. Thanks to Jayna Doyle’s dedication, <b>Charlotte, NC</b> now has the exciting opportunity to have an exclusive party with
<b>The Wombats</b> on Monday, <b>September 24<sup>th</sup></b> while the band makes a stop in town to play at the
<b>Visulite Theatre.</b><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In anticipation of their 32 date US Tour, <b>The Wombats</b> launched a nationwide Twitter contest in order to meet as many fans as possible and connect with one special individual. Voting kicked off on August 24<sup>th</sup> and fans
all over the country had the chance of a lifetime to vote for their own town/city to win a private show with
<b>The Wombats</b>. Fans were able to select their city from a <a href="http://map.thewombats.co.uk/">
special interactive map</a> on the band’s website, and then tweet to win the opportunity for the band to show up in their living room.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b> </b><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The tour is in support of their new hit single, “<b>Jump Into The Fog</b>” off their highly-acclaimed album,
<b><i>This Modern Glitch</i></b> (Bright Antenna/ILG). “<b>Jump Into The Fog</b>” has been one of the band’s biggest airplay records ever in the UK and Australia, marking their sixth
<b>Top 40 </b>single overseas. The single is proving to have similar success in the U.S. – not only did it reach
<b>#1 on Sirius XM’s “Alt Nation” countdown</b>, but it just surpassed the <b>Top 15
</b>mark on the<b> Alternative Chart</b>. Also, “<b>Jump Into The Fog” </b>has been playing in a strong rotation in Charlotte, NC on
<b>WEND 106.5 FM. </b>The official music video, which you can watch (<b><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hpadYhXHgwA">Press HERE</a></b>), has over
