“I can’t believe those tickets went SO FAST. 20 minutes or something? Unreal. You guys are amazing, and I’m really excited. We originally wanted to announce the show a day or 2 before, but that really freaked the venue/promoter/booking agency out. These days they have a hard time packing out a place out even with months of promotion (not all fans are like you!). Thanks for being awesome. -Amy”
As usual, thanks to EvThreads & EvanescenceVille!

Evanescence’s New Sound “is something like Portishead”
Lead singer Amy Lee said that the work for the next album are in full swing – but reveals that the band will not play unreleased stuff in Sao Paulo on November 8.
“Let’s give our best.” This is the assurance given by Amy Lee, Evanescence’s lead, to show that the band will do their best at the Festival Machinery in Sao Paulo on November 8. After an hiatus of nearly two years, the group prepares for a second visit to the country, where, according to the singer, the fans are “more special”.
By telephone, Amy was relaxed and excited about the presentation. However, the Australian public does not care for the new tracks: the last album, The Open Door, was released in 2006 – and the next one is planned to hit the market next year. Meanwhile, guitarist John LeCompt and drummer Rocky Gray, members of the old formation, left the band. Leaving the band so sudden, the process of creating and compositioning new stuff for the band came basically to a standstill, a fact lamented by Amy. Read more
Questions questions everywhere and not a drop to speak (Amy on EvThreads)
I’ve been sitting here reading through so many of these questions and comments in the “Ask me” thread… trying to find one I haven’t answered and want to… I guess I just want to say thanks for making me feel good. Ha. Its really nice to know so many of you miss the music and want to know when you’ll hear it again. I’ve gotten to the point where I’m working on it almost every day (night I should say). I’m in love with it. Enough to fight for it. Enough to reopen the door to a world of chaos even though it scares me. I don’t want to give away too much about what it will sound like, because so much will change before the end, but its… not what you would expect. Its definitely not happy married music, but its not like I’m dying the whole time either. Its dark, sarcastic, fun, strange, familiar and very different at the same time. It makes me feel alive and I wish I could show you right now. If you were here, at my house, I would pour you a drink and we would turn it up really loud and rock out to it, and I know you would love it. Thank you everyone who has said their lives were touched by the music. It touches my life too, and so do you, in many ways.
Somebody asked how it made me feel when someone tells me the music changed their life. It makes me feel like I’m not crazy. It feels wonderful.
Also somebody asked why I talk about blood so much, complete with quite a few lyric quotes. It made me laugh. I promise to offer slightly less blood on the next album. Slightly.
Last but not least, I often get asked about band members, the whole “is it a band, is it solo, etc” (understandably! There have been quite a few). Everyone who has ever been a part of Evanescence is a part of its story, a part of its soul. From day 1 it has been a collaborative effort and different people have contributed over the years. But it is more than just people. It’s something that has taken on its own life, it has grown, changed and become more interesting, more soulful, more honest than a perfect image will allow. The passion is what makes it live on, the obsessive focus on straight up, head first, love for the music. That is my band. And against all obstacles I’m sticking to it. See you guys soon!
love, Amy
As always, thanks to EvanescenceVille for the head-up!
