Kevin Costner sings

Kevin Costner performed with his rockabilly band Modern West before more than 1000 people, who were first recruited as extras for his film Swing Vote.

More Hollywood rockers, and following on from Bruce Willis' gig a month or two back, Kevin Costner has taken to the stage with his rockabilly band to perform in front of more than 1000 people. The gig was seemingly organised to essentially save money on Costner's new film 'Swing Vote', as the crowd who showed up for the gig were first coerced into appearing as extras on the set of a presidential debate. With a stage decked-out with red, white and blue cloth, helicopters shot scenes from above while those that turned up patiently waited for the gig by Costner's band, Modern West. The film depicts a presidential race between a Republican candidate (Kelsey Grammer) and a Democrat (Dennis Hopper) which, in the end, is decided by a single vote.
