LiN CLOVER to perform Wednesday, April 11 at Slim's in San Francisco, and followed by an appearance at Kinokuniya Bookstore the next day, and a final performance at The Claran Lounge in Santa Clara, California on April 13


San Francisco, CA -- The latest edition of Shibuya Nights concert series features Japanese rock band, LiN CLOVER. LiN CLOVER will make their USA debut April 6-8, 2007 at Sakura-Con in Seattle, WA. The punk rock band have extended their US tour in order to visit the San Francisco Bay Area for a 3-day series of concert performances and in-store appearances.

After forming the band, GacktJOB(which was fronted by the iconic J-rock artist Gackt), the founding members Ren and Nao formed a band with successful solo artist Yuri and called themselves LiN CLOVER in order to pursue an alternative direction in their musical artistry.

LiN CLOVER played their premiere live performance in the fall of 2002, leading to their first sold-out single within two weeks in Japan. Their second single and first album "LiN CLOVER" was met with critically acclaim and generated a pervasive Japanese fan following. The immediate popularity enabled the band to produce and host the successful Japanese annual event called "INNER CRACK". In 2005, the band released the album "Strain Gauge" and the EP "Nut," followed by an extensive tour of Japan. In 2007, the American anime magazine, Shojo Beat recognized LiN CLOVER's innovative sound and nominated the band for Best Rock Band in the Shojo Beat Music Awards.

LiN CLOVER's music is described by the band as being mysterious, full of powerful imagery. All members come from different musical roots and this comes across immediately in their music.

LiN CLOVER's San Francisco Bay Area tour begins on Wednesday, April 11 at Slim's in San Francisco. Their performance begins at 8:30pm. The band makes an in-store meet and greet appearance at Kinokuniya Bookstore in Japan-town's San Francisco on Thursday, April 12. The appearance begins at 5:00 p.m. LiN CLOVER makes their final performance stop on Friday, April 13 at The Claran Lounge in Santa Clara, California.
