Californian blues-rockers RIVAL SONS are preparing to kick off a US tour with gothic rockers EVANESCENCE tomorrow, Friday, January 13th in Clemson, South Carolina.

Having already joined EVANESCENCE on the road in October last year, RIVAL SONS are pleased to be teaming up with the band once again for the 2012 tour, which also features ELECTRIC TOUCH.

RIVAL SONS guitarist SCOTT HOLIDAY comments:

"Our friends in Evanescence have graciously invited us to come back out on the road with them again. This time it's a quick run through the south. Not only are we happy to be joining back up with them, we are really stoked to be finally returning to the south after such a long time.

"Following this tour, we will be making our next record and immediately returning to Europe and the UK, so hopefully our fans in the south will be able to snap up some tickets. I'm sure the dates will sell out, and it'll be a while before we can get back out.

"Come kick 2012 off with us! Gonna be a massive, busy year of rock!"
