British thrashers EVILE have revealed the lucky winners of their recent raffle, which was set up to raise money for the family of the band’s late bassist, Mike Alexander.
EVILE hosted two memorial shows in the UK last week to honour Mike Alexander. The show included performances from MUTANT and GAMA BOMB, as well a special cover set from EVILE with members of the other bands helping out. A raffle was held at each show, with many incredible prizes up for grabs which were kindly donated by bands and artists such as METALLICA, SLAYER, IRON MAIDEN, MEGADETH, MACHINE HEAD, OZZY OSBOURNE and more.
To check if you were a lucky winner, or to see what goodies you could have won, watch the video of EVILE drawing the winners at http://www.mikealexander.co.uk/raffle.php
EVILE lead guitarist Ol Drake comments:
“Thank you to everyone who bought a raffle ticket. You’ve no idea how much you have helped Mike’s family at this moment in time. They are overwhelmed with the support. Thank you to all who came to the memorial shows, and everyone who helped out. We have four guitars up for auction on Ebay, from bands such as Exodus, Machine Head and Trivium.”
EVILE are auctioning guitars which were kindly donated by Jackson guitars, Phil Demmel of MACHINE HEAD, Gary Holt of EXODUS and Paolo Gregoletto of TRIVIUM. View the items and place your bid at http://www.mikealexander.co.uk/raffle.php
