“Asian Conan / Come Get It Now,” from alternative/pop band PETREE, will be featured as an exclusive video on Adam McKay and Will Ferrell’s comedy site www.funnyordie.com (funny or die) on November 7.

The song and video co-stars Asian Conan (aka Steven Ho) and Richie “LaBamba” Rosenberg of Conan O’Brien fame, and is the follow up to “Asian Conan – Episode 1” released by Team Coco earlier this year. Asian Conan is a fictitious character portrayed by stuntman Steven Ho, a former regular guest of The Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien. In conjunction with the release of the “Asian Conan/Come Get It Now,” video, the single will be available as a free download on Asian Conan’s site now through November 15 at www.asianconan.com , thereafter the song will be available for purchase on itunes.

The L.A.-based group featuring Stephen Petree and bandmates Aaron Joseph on guitar, David Eropkin on bass, and Adam Welch on drums, released “Weakness Makes You Beautiful” on Dream Records/Universal Music Group in May 2010, with special guest performances by Shiny Toy Guns’ Chad Petree and Sisely Treasure; and Ronkat Spearman, a veteran of George Clinton and the P-Funk Allstars.

As a founding member of Shiny Toy Guns, Stephen Petree co-wrote three singles released by the band in 2007 (from We Are Pilots, Universal Records) “Le Disko,” “You Are The One” and “Rainy Monday.” Stephen’s songwriting efforts for Shiny Toy Guns’ We are Pilots album garnered the band a 2007 Grammy “Album of The Year” nomination. Stephen also has three co-writes on the sophomore release of Shiny Toy Guns’ Season Of Poison album.

Stephen’s songs have been featured on television shows such as "Dancing With The Stars," "America's Next Top Model,” "So You Think You Can Dance,” “One Tree Hill,” “The Real World” and just recently “Rock Band 3” and “Iron Man 2.” Honda and Motorola have showcased Stephen’s co-writes in their global television commercials as well.
