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 the 2000 ep that they had been passing out at shows has been replaced by much higher quality tracks recorded this summer / fall with will holland recorded in pro tools and mixed in nuendo in austin.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.

I'm listening to "Life" right now. I'm really loving the music, but having some trouble with the vocals. Sometimes it just gets a little too all over the place for my liking. Maybe it's something I just have to get used to... because I do like the music a lot. I wish there were more audio samples.

don't say i told anybody, but you can go to passerbymusic.com/music and their's a directory listing that has cassie and red sam (incorrectly titled "you are the truth") to download.

my lips are sealed. thanks so much.

I think to truly appreciate Passerby, they need to be witnessed live. They are SUCH a dynamic live band, very mesmerizing. Incidentally, I have an old version of Cassie that Lacey (from Passerby) did before she joined the band and lemme tell ya, it's QUITE different :P

Im intrigued.


According to their website, it says they have opened for Eva.

Hopefully they will come back to the DFW soon.

yeah. I think they opened for Ev on March 4th at Houston's Engine Room. The night that Ev's album was released and all the Wind-Up execs were there. They must have gotten some good exposure that night

hopefully "who" will come back to DFW soon??? If you're talking about Passerby, there's a GREAT possibility that they will return here soon (the play in DFW alot) anyway, yeah. . .they opened for Eva on March 4'th in Houston, they left so much of an impression on Ben that he made a post specifically about them on the O-boards back when they were still up and running.)

bust out with it... it's all about the sharing.

Passerby of course. I like the idea of their actually being a good band in this area.
