We are currently engaged in setting up for an international campaign. The 2010 Tour Plan includes a North American Leg from August 11th through August 26th.The present marketing plan here in South Africa is designed to accomplish the preliminary steps necessary to make this a reality.
EVOLVER has been working hard in the studio with 'International Hitmaking Producer" Nathan Winkler on a "NEW LEVEL of MUSIC". The release is called "EVOLVER ONE" and is due for release in late MARCH 2010...This release is an incredible array of "POP ROCK HITS" designed for maximum impact in the INTERNATIONAL Marketplace.
EVOLVER has already aligned itself with a MEDIA PARTNER in a 3 Year agreement. This media partner has agreed to join "The New Mission" and provide us with the TV and Media clout necessary for our international focus. The amount of MEDIA surrounding this partner has no peer in South Africa. The partner has 3 TV stations and has agreed to provide R2,000,000 worth of airtime in promotion of EVOLVER. This very valuable campaign can be an incredible value for any entity that is associated with EVOLVER's 2010 Tour Plan. While we are unable to advertise our Tour Partners directly on TV, it does not mean we cannot brand our Tour and advertise it in a variety of ways. This becomes a phenomenal opportunity for our Tour Partners.
EVOLVER has also been active in partnering with several CHARITIES such as JHB Child Welfare, CHOC Organization for Children with Cancer, The Sunflower Fund, World Aids Day Charities, The Vodacom Foundation and others. EVOLVER is committed to sharing its time and efforts to help the less fortunate as we begin our "New Mission". EVOLVER wants to share its MEDIA EXPOSURE with those in need. Our Tour Partners will enjoy the good will associated with giving back to those less fortunate.
MISSION STATEMENT
EVOLVER is moving in and important direction in terms of our team mission. We have decided to become socially, politically and environmentally active in our music and our actions. We are calling it "PROJECT EVOLUTION" and it has many components. We are looking to invigorate South Africans and Music Fans to join our efforts of social responsibility and action. We are not merely using this concept to sell an extra few CD's, but are committed in leading the way through ACTION. We are focused on being the leader of SOUTH AFRICAN ROCK to stand up and be the voice of social, political and environmental change. We don't mind taking the risks associated with being brave enough to do this. We are on a mission of social evolution, and are going where no South African band has dared to go.
1. Political Optimism for South Africa
2. The vision of South Africa's bright future
3. South Africa's duty to lead the continent of Africa
4. The eradication of the AIDs pandemic in Africa
5. The use of ACTION by our YOUTH to help our future
6. The evolution of "Green Living" In our future
We ... are asking that everybody join PROJECT EVOLUTION and help further the issues outlined above. We are making a long term commitment to make our musical forum one that is important and groundbreaking.
EVOLVER has been linking itself to Organizations that are involved in furthering these very important initiatives. We are asking the YOUTH of our country to take ACTION and assist the people that have begun to address the future of our Planet.
SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY 2010
AIDS / HIV EFFORT is a priority in our Social Responsibility Campaign. The HIV / AIDS pandemic is the most serious health emergency on the continent and quite possibly the entire globe. The efforts of charities and organizations in every country on Earth are focused on eradicating and preventing the spread of this deadly virus. The biggest bank in Africa, STANDARD BANK has commissioned us to adapt one of our songs into "LET's GET TESTED" for a HIV /AIDS testing program. The relationship with STANDARD BANK in 2010 is expanding to include a possible TOUR and INTERNATIONAL Campaign for the testing effort. Our efforts do not stop there, in fact, as we are currently participating in discussions to include other HIV / AIDS Organizations in our 2010 Social Responsibility efforts to further assist in this global effort. This is EVOLVER's most impassioned effort in 2010 and beyond.
CHILDREN's EFFORT has been working with multiple Children's Organizations. The JHB Child Welfare Organization and CHOC Organization for Children are part of our 2010 Plan for helping children. We have participated in many Children's Events for each of these groups in 2009 and have plans to expand our efforts in 2010.We know we can help the less fortunate by using our "Celebrity Forum" to expand the financial and media exposure these organizations need to do their important work .EVOLVER will surely have an important year in National and Regional Children's Charities.
CANCER EFFORTS are also very important to our 2010 mission. Every one of us has been touched by this dreaded disease. The early detection and treatment of Cancer must be a focus of all health related efforts in every country on Earth. We are currently working with The SUNFLOWER FUND and The CHILDRENS HOSPITAL for CHILDREN with CANCER and plan to continue to help them with events and fundraising throughout 2010.
MEDIA 2010
TELEVISION is in an agreement with a MAJOR TV Network here in South Africa. The Network has 3 National channels and dominates the nation's television media. The agreement is a long term one that will instantly change the visibility of EVOLVER with all consumers. The television campaign will begin in March 2010 and will continue throughout the year. It will include the use of EVOLVER's entire music catalog for promotional spots, advertisements, and soundtracks. It also includes heavy use of the band's MUSIC VIDEOS and MUSIC TRAILERS to promote the 2010 Tour. In addition, many interview and television spots are slotted and appropriately timed. This becomes the MEDIA backbone of EVOLVER's 2010 Tour Plan.
RADIO has been working hard for EVOLVER in recent months. Major airplay is already underway with an array of "Hit Singles" that the band has enjoyed. There are 10 National Radio hits that have been play listed at this point. The latest single "Are We Listening?" has been receiving heavy airplay for months all over the country. Some of the stations that are currently spinning EVOLVER are 5FM, HIGHVELD STEREO 94.7, ALGOA FM, Radio 2000, TUKS FM and countless others. The first single to be released from the "ONE" album is scheduled for the end of January .It is sure to get heavy airplay, and to kickoff many singles from "ONE" due to grace the airwaves. EVOLVER will surely have an impressive year on National and Regional Radio in 2010.
PRINT MEDIA has also embraced EVOLVER and continues to follow all the shows and charitable events that the band has been doing lately. The Newspapers that have agreed to cover our upcoming album include The Star, The Cape Times, The Citizen, The Herald, The Times, The Sunday Times Magazine, The Star Tonight section and many others. The Magazines that have agreed are Heat Magazine, Cosmopolitan, GQ, and People Magazine, SL Magazine, FHM and others. The focus on staying in the Print Media is one that EVOLVER takes very seriously. We have great relationships already established with a large contingent of Print Media and continue to expand our reach into new publications.
ONE... the album
March 2010
EVOLVER is in the midst of a new direction in the music marketplace. The band has embarked on a journey of writing songs about important subjects....The Environment, Social Concepts, Spirituality, and Political Issues. The band has decided to focus on an "exciting future for the Planet Earth", one that has optimism as a core concept. The current state of our world is not equal to its phenomenal opportunity to improve itself, through higher levels of thought and action .The notion that "all things are possible" is at the very center of EVOLVER.
EVOLVER has been working hard in the studio with a release called "ONE" and is due for release in late MARCH 2010...This is the first album with new producer Nathan Winkler, and has been the subject of much discussion in the media lately. The anticipation of what EVOLVER calls "A total new level of songwriting" is creating lots of questions and talk in recent radio and TV spots.
EVOLVER has released the single "Are We Listening?" to radio recently. The single is the first track that resident "Hitmaking Producer" Nathan Winkler has produced for the band. The track has that "BIG SOUND" that has become Winkler’s trademark in his accomplished career. The track was written using the thought that..."The Universe is talking.....Are We Listening?.......
