You can vote on Linke here and if they get enough votes, they'll be one of the bands performing! :)

I'm sorry for the bad update - but it's been pretty much with school and such.
Anyways.
If you didn't know yet - they've gotten a new guitarist and her name is Heather Baker.

And it seems like they're looking for a new bassist now.
That's all for now.

"There has been a change of plans. I will no longer be playing in Linke"

Yesterday, Jason posted this on his facebook.
He says it's because they have different styles and we're not about to dig any deeper into this. But I'd like to wish him luck and hopes to hear from him later! :)

So, the band is now announced!
The members are Jason Goodhue (guitar), Ryan Truax (drums) and Yutaka Sao (bass)!

Well, one of the questions that wasn't answered during the interview, was, how he met Yu.
But Yu has now answered the question on his formspring.

Fan; Did you get to know chris linke before or after you went to LA?

Well, okey, this may not be the most important thing to know or such, but I was bored, and decided to do this Akinator thing, and guess, who I found there :)

The new German prince of 'rock' goes solo in LA

Christian Linke, the new prince of German rock....now living, recording and playing in LA

Stadium rock is still very much alive and kicking in Europe and for the last few years former german rock monsters such as The Scorpions or Michael Schenker Group have had their very memory all but eclipsed by a new breed of rock monster to emmerge from the new  Neumunster  nursing ground of rock and metal. This new rock monster has  been continuosly devouring the attentions of the mass festival and stadium crowds of every European mainland nation faster than Michael Schenker could rip up a lead break  while crowds of well over a hundred thousand became regular sights wherever the hard rock, rap and screamo fusion of top German crossover band PANIK were played out. It seemed that for the last three years Panik were also very adept at causing severe panic among venue and booking office staff too and wherever they were booked to play  Europe's ticket sellers  shuddered in fear for their lives from the moment those ticket office doors opened and the stampedes began.

Between 2007 and 2009 the band from Neumunster  signed to Universal, switched to Vertigo, had a quick name change from Nevada Tan and, after  taking Hamburg by storm, they quickly conquered the continent in a germanic whirlwind of riotous sound. Now one of the key creative figures at the forefront of the Panik advance was the bands bass player and musical composer  Christian Linke and just as Dallas Green of Canadian screamos 'Alexis On Fire'  formed the pivotal harmonic vocals and  melodic compositional edge to the raging fires of the Alexis On Fire screamo firestorm, so too did Linke form that same crucial harmonic anchor in the raging storms of Panik's fired up rap rants and super-screamo riots....it was an edge that clearly set both bands apart in their respective nations. As the supercell of the Panik storm split and began to fade in the final weeks of 2009 following dissagreements over their recording contract the band separated into smaller storm cells and went their seperate ways. While the rap vocalist Timo and Guitarist David Bonk are still drawing crowds under the Panik moniker, that creative musical hub that is Christian Linke has scince relocated with his vast musical talents and is about  to give Los Angeles and the rest of America a taste of his own 'City and Colour' as his new works gear up to conquer the States following his debut US release.

With the sounds of Europe's stadiums and monster rock venues still ringing in his ears, Linke is going solo and acoustic right here in LA this Monday with his first live set coming on June 28th at The Mint on West Pico Boulevard at 7pm. Linke's debut ep is also now available from iTunes with all instruments being worked by his own hand to give the full band sound.So if you want to see a true prince and heir of Germany's amazing modern rock heritage then you better make your way down to the Mint pronto! ...and look out for the flyers his MySpace and Facebook pages for some special discounts on ticket prices too.

Well, I forgot to write it here, hehe :)

Linke got mentioned in Yu's blog from June 8th (for me)

I've asked the question on Twitter, so I think I should do it here too.
