With tickets close to selling out for September 6th’s  Linkin Park concert, rock band EVALINE are now confirmed to open the show at the Asia-World Arena.

Think Radiohead and add in a helping of Jane’s Addiction for energy – EVALINE consistently deliver a high energy live show that has been gathering fans in every city and festival they play including recent performances at Hard Rock Calling (London), T in the Park (Scotland) and the Oxegen festival (Irelend).

Fresh out of school, Evaline’s earliest recordings found their way to The Used’s Quinn Allman who produced the EP: Postpartum Modesty, A Portrait of Skin - released on Madonna’s Maverick label in 2006. Two Warped tours and a Taste of Chaos tour quickly attracted a loyal and ardent fanbase in USA. Now in their early twenties Evaline are Richard Perry, (Vocals, Cello and keys) Dominic DiCiano (Guitar), Steven Pedersen (Bass), Christian Lewis (Guitar) and the Petersen brothers Greg (drums) and Dan (guitar).  Evaline have now returned with a full quota of startling tracks, producing unrivalled rock songs using layered sounds, intense guitars and swooning vocals.

By late 2010 the band had finished recording a stack of new songs for their forthcoming debut album, titled ‘Woven Material’, produced by Dan Austin (Doves, Cherry Ghost, QOTSA ) which includes the forthcoming single Hours (release April 18th) and There There (mixed by Adrian Bushby). The first fruits of their labour were heard in the form of the beautiful and powerful EP PATTERNED, which serves as an introduction to the new EVALINE with the tracks: ‘Hours’, ‘Beneath the Fire’ and ‘Patterned’.  Listen to the full EP: http://soundcloud.com/evalinemusic/sets/patternedep

Evaline started touring their new songs in summer 2010 with an East Coast tour with Paper Tongues, Neon Trees and Civil Twilight. There followed dates with Deftones, Dredg, Dir en Grey and Apocalyptica throughout the USA.  In September 2010 the band arrived in the UK, supporting Placebo at Brixton and Young Guns on regional tour dates gaining early approval from the UK press.

In 2011, having been placed in Andpop’s top 6 bands of SXSW the band released their much anticipated album Woven Material in June 2011, alongside a run of UK and European festival dates including supporting My Chemical Romance at the iTunes festival in London.
