Austin, TX (PRWEB) March 7, 2010 --

The Silver Key, the latest release from acclaimed Austin band "The Weirdo Deluxe" doubles as an armchair treasure hunt wherein the new tunes and CD package provide clues to a jackpot. In a unique twist, the jackpot grows for every CD sold.

Inspired by Kit Williams' "Masquerade," The Silver Key CD from the Austin-based band The Weirdo Deluxe launches a national treasure hunt. Gamers, geocachers, teachers, musicians, and geography classes alike will be able to hunt for the treasure through listening to the CD and using the CD packaging.

In the grand tradition of Nick Bantock's cleverly packaged books, Steve McAllister - head "Weirdo" took the CD packaging a step further and enlisted a bevy of accomplished musicians to play on The Silver Key CD.
