EVOLOVE & BLAMESHIFT Awake The Western States As Tour Mates

LA pop-core alt rockers EVOLOVE, led by the powerful vocals of singer Lucy Levinsohn, are gearing up for another run of dates throughout the western states.

The band, whom recently locked in drummer Andrew Carroll as a permanent replacement (he most recently hit the skins for Stitched Up Heart), will continue to support its latest Breaking Heartstrings release.

EVOLOVE are currently recording an acoustic album with engineer Ryan Gelber. Entitled ACOUSTIC SESSIONS VOL. 1 the 12-song release will contain four brand new songs ("3 Cheers" "Pieces" "Just A Dream" "Spare Me") along with stripped-down versions of "Let Me In" "2012" and "Toyshop Girl" from their debut Ep and all of the tracks from Heartstrings.

ASV1 will be released on March 13 and is available for pre-sale.

In the meantime, since the year of the Mayan is upon us, check out the ominous foreshadowing bequeathed in the video for 2012.

It is the Countdown to THE END:

Awakening the states along I-5 with Evolove will be the Eco-love of rock outfit BLAMESHIFT, whom power their tour bus with the simplicity of honest-to-goodness vegetable oil.

Formidably led by singer Jenny Mann, the Long Island, NY quartet have previously crisscrossed the country over the past six years to the tune of 150,000 miles and were selected/featured last fall by retailer HOT TOPIC as one of the Best Unsigned Bands in the land (coincidentally, Evolove were similarly anointed the following month).

While on the road, the band will perform songs from their two full-length recordings and two subsequent EPs, the latest of which includes the hit single "Ghost":



At the conclusion of the tour, Blameshift will begin recording the follow-up to The Black Rose with producer ERIK RON (Panic! at the Disco, VersaEmerge, D.R.U.G.S., Four Years Strong, Hit The Lights, Foxy Shazam, The Academy Is).

The final show of the three-week jaunt will culminate at the Roxy Theatre in West Hollywood for the second installment of ROCKSTARS & PINUPS, a unique multi-media event specifically created by Ms Levinsohn to cast a light on the best and brightest music, entertainment, fashion and performance art bubbling up in Los Angeles. The inaugural event saw performances by Evolove, Matt Toka, Valora and Melotia.

Rounding out the second chapter of ready-made Pinups and resplendent Rockstars are NEO GEO, led by singer Rainy Terrell, MODELSAINT, fronted by Skyla Talon, and synthpop rock group iNK.

Rockstars & Pin Ups II - Feb 13th at The Roxy - Hollywood
