Details:
In 2003 EVICK''s 2nd single, "SPIN", off their debut album ANACHRONISM, was welcomed to radio across the country. Climbing the charts on KLAZ in Little Rock, AR, KEND in Roswell, NM, and KKRL in Carroll, IA, "SPIN" was also extremely successful in many other cities, including San Angelo, TX, Florence, SC, and St. Croix, VI. Due to the success of "SPIN", EVICK was able to perform 10 days in the U.S. Virgin Islands, as well as Los Angeles, CA, and Phoenix, AZ. Later in the year, EVICK''s reputation as one of the last existing rock and roll party bands garnered them an invitation to spend 2 weeks on the road supporting Bret Michaels (of POISON fame) on his solo tour. This opportunity helped them reach thousands of new faces and play in some great venues, including HOUSE OF BLUES in Orlando, FL and Myrtle Beach, SC.
EVICK is no doubt a musical interpretation of blue-collar America. When ANACHRONISM hit the shelves, the reviews were unanimous; from Black Velvet in the UK to The Washington City Paper in DC, everyone got it. These were regular guys writing about America as seen through the eyes of the regular people, not the rich and the beautiful. Inspired by the lyrical styles of Springsteen, Mellencamp, and even Bon Jovi, the music had the volume, the energy and loud guitars of a more 80''s-early 90''s Sunset Strip-era Los Angeles band, giving the band a unique sound reaching from its past but creating something fresh and new.
Most people in blue-collar American towns are known for working hard and playing harder. Once EVICK hit the road in 2003, they showed everyone that they could relate. 179 dates in 2003 alone without any major label support is unheard of. EVICK had put their time in, no doubt.
But EVICK had something else they wanted to prove. The band takes great pride in refusing to call anyone a fan. EVICK''s trips across the country are designed to make friends with the people who enjoy the same outlook on life and break down the barriers of age, sex, race and distance that make so many of us feel alone. EVICK opens its doors to everyone. Its more than a one-hour show, it''s a way of life. When the show is over the party begins, and everyone is invited into their homes, their hotel rooms, through email, instant message and the telephone. If you were going to give your time and support to EVICK, you were part of the family. By the end of 2003, you couldn''t go into a town or venue that EVICK had played without hearing a good story, or at least seeing the look of fear on a poor unsuspecting bartender or club owners face.
EVICK has become the definition of a rock and roll party. Carrying the almost extinguished torch once held by THE ROLLING STONES, LED ZEPPELIN, VAN HALEN, and MÖTLEY CRÜE. EVICK is what you see on VH1s "Behind The Music". On and off stage, EVICK gives everyone a chance to forget their troubles and take a trip into the depths of rock and roll.
In 2004, EVICK promises its long awaited sophomore effort, along with another year of even louder rock and roll, bigger parties and more memories. January 19th marks the release of "SAVANNAH", the first single from the upcoming album, SUNSET TO SUNSET. As well, there are already more shows on the books with Bret Michaels, and dates in Key West, FL, Phoenix, AZ, and Los Angeles, CA.
Love them or hate them, EVICK is, in a single word, "Unforgettable".
