Legendary Australian rocker
Dave Evans — founder and original vocalist of megaband
AC/DC — will be embarking on a nationwide
"Back On The Firing Line Tour" commencing this summer and lasting until late fall. The tour is in support of the recent U.S. release of
Evans'
"Sinner" album on
Heart Attack Records.
Dave was a member of
AC/DC from the band's inception in 1973 until 1974. Following his departure from
AC/DC,
Evans formed the wild hedonistic rock band
RABBIT, Melbourne '80s rock outfit
DAVE EVANS AND THUNDER DOWN UNDER, and lastly
DAVE EVANS AND HOT COCKEREL. He has also toured as a solo act.
After successfully touring across Europe and with the fans asking for and demanding a new
Dave Evans album,
Dave got together with some of Australia's finest hard rock musicians to write and record
"Sinner". Former
RABBIT bandmembers and mates
Mark Tinson and
David Hinds were quickly recruited as was former
HOT COCKEREL bandmember
Simon Croft. Along with Newcastle's finest —
Mac on drums and
Ngariki on bass (and guitar on a couple of tracks) — everyone went to work to write and record this classic hard rock album.
"Sinner" was originally released in 2004 on Germany's
Cultural Minority record label for the European market. With the 2006 re-release of
"Sinner" on
Heart Attack Records, the album can now be found in stores across America. The CD is also available from Internet retailer
CD Baby and from
Dave's
web site.
