the engine room show got hosed due to schedule conflicts. they've been to new york and back twice and then did another showcase at the new music festival in dallas about 2 - 3 weeks ago, positive results. the 2000 ep that they had been passing out at shows has been replaced by much higher quality tracks recorded this summer / fall with will holland recorded in pro tools and mixed in nuendo in austin. i believe they've tracked 5 - 6 songs with him now. they actually almost bumped into evanescence when they were in new york but sameer accidentally erased ben's # in his phone or something... some kind of miscommunication.

if you're in texas you should get on their mailing list and drive to the next close show. it's worth it.

also, check out runtentertainment.com. gabriel colbert manages all the booking for passerby and they have better info on dates there. there's also a funny picture of gabe with evanescence on the site under the media section i think...

i was outside at that show in houston for like 12 hours and met evanescence when they showed up. amy gave me an orange for lunch. heheh.
