April 11, 2009, 15 years ago
According to Sleazeroxx.com, multi-faceted musician / studio whiz Pete Evick has announced that he has secured his first gold record for his involvement in current media darlings PARAMORE's latest album, The Final Riot!.
The guitarist for the BRET MICHAELS BAND and leader of his namesake band was brought in by producer Jeff Juliano to digitally edit the modern rock heroes live album. "The album had been mixed down but they were on a tight deadline to deliver it to their label so Jeff suggested they send it to me to see what I could do with it, knowing that I understand editing software for use in live recordings better than most," says Evick. "I also work at a pretty rapid pace and could meet their deadline so I worked on it a few days, sent it back and all was good. It was an honour to work a young band like Paramore who aren't only talented, they really have their act together."
Having had his first Top 40 album in 2008 and now his first gold record, the very busy Pete Evick can currently be seen on the road with the Bret Michaels Band through the spring at which time he'll turn his attention to his own band's new releases, the digital Ep, The Real Thing and the full length album, Reflections.
