Latvian band Dandelion Wine (in Latvian "Pienenu Vins") started playing music in 2005. It all began with two songs composed by Evilena - groups vocalist. First concert, given at a private party, was a success, and soon they started playing in every club in Riga.
People seemed to like their jazzy and groovy stile, and, of course, brilliant vocals. The first competition they won, was "MicRec OPEN4" in 2007, where the jury said, that band members are no longer beginners, but professionals. Then there was another competition - "Tu Esi Pamanits" ("You Are Noticed") in 2008, where they not only won the first prize, but Evilena was appreciated as well with an award for "Best Vocals".
