As Atlantic/Lava/Ardent/SRE rockers SKILLET pack out clubs across the U.S., Universal Pictures and their upcoming film “Evan Almighty” is sponsoring the dates to promote the June 22nd nationwide release of the film starring actors Steve Carell and Morgan Freeman (http://www.evanalmighty.com/). Skillet is previewing the trailer, mentioning the film from stage and running an internet campaign through their website (skillet.com), myspace (myspace.com/skilletmusic) and street team.

With each tour date being sponsored by a local mainstream rock and/or hot ac station (and also featuring label mates Decyfer Down), Skillet is winning over Program Director’s (PDs) across the country and drawing large crowds, packing the clubs each night. Here are just a couple of comments coming from PDs:

“The band was GREAT at the station. The acoustic performance was flawless and the fans that showed up were thrilled at how personable and accommodating the band was... they really were the nicest bunch of people we’ve had in our studio…EVER. The show was FANTASTIC! I don’t know when the last time was that they played this market but we definitely need to do this again... everyone was REALLY into it. Their phenomenal performance and positive message left a lasting impression on all who were there. I can definitely see this band building a huge following in this market.“ -Big Rog, Assistant Program Director / Music Director / Afternoons, KHTB-FM / 94.9 The Blaze, Salt Lake City, UT

“Skillet did it again for us….they’ve out sold major national acts consistently time and time again. We’ve played three singles so far…two of which are now library songs and my guess is the third one will be too” - Aaron "Buck" Burnett, Music Director/Morning Dude, KTEG 104.7 FM The Edge, Albuquerque

In follow up to their seven-week reign at No.1 on Christian Rock with their single “Rebirthing,” Skillet’s second Christian single, “The Last Night,” was recently added to the AIR-1 radio network, WAYfm Denver and KAFC/Anchorage. The single also nabbed the top spot at Rock and is No. 3 CHR on CRW this week, while moving up to No. 1 on R&R’s Christian CHR chart following a No. 1 at Rock hit there as well. WAYfm Nashville is one of the top CHR stations supporting Skillet and this single in a big way, with Network MD Stace Whitmire commenting, "Skillet's 'The Last Night Night' has connected with our audience from the get go. It's been one of the fastest rising songs, and continues to be a WAY-FM audience favorite.”

As COMATOSE continues to be a top-seller, 32 weeks after it’s release, Skillet continues the club tour into June and will hit all major summer festivals and mainstream radio shows throughout the summer. For more details, go to skillet.com or myspace.com/skilletmusic.
