Ok I am surprised that Brian (DMW) hasn't posted this one yet, so I have the honor.

this band is great you can check them out at www.passerbymusic.com

Another hard rock chick, really great riffs, and vocals......

and they are very nice. The just sent me their demo cd, and I can't get enough of it, and I hate that it is only four songs long!

Check them out.

(Brian you better get in here and back me up)

Lisa. . .of course I'm gonna back you up, Passerby IS quite an excellent band, I think they are wonderful. I'm glad you like their demo. Everybody check em out so says the DMW!!!!! Now ya done it, now I'm gonna have to start pimpin' out my DFW bands.

O.K. . .I brought this back because this is a very good local band out of my area, female fronted hard-rock that I think people on this forum would REALLY like. . .Check em out. I know that Ben really seemed to dig em when they opened for Evanescence in Houston.

hmmm...glad you brought it back up cuz i missed it the first time around! they sound cool - i'll have to go check them out!

They're gonna be playing abuot 45 minutes away from me on Friday the 5th. I may have to try and see if I can make it to the show.

I think you should check em out David, they have a fabulous stage show and their singer is SOOOO tiny, but she's got this HUGE voice man. . .I think they're great, you might like em.

Deuc..Valkyrie and I might see you there if you go...whenever they come to that venue we see them.

WE're probably going to go to denny's with them after this show so look for us...I'm not sure what Val will be wearing but I willhave a grey t-shirt with a black dragon on it

I'll definatley see what I can do about getting by butt there....any idea about what time they might be on stage, I hope I dont get into town to late, I'm gonna try to make it. (I'm at school right now, and have to stay for an opening for a little while). If I miss their performance, which I hope I dont, it'd still be nice to pic up some manner of merchadise. :)

But if I do make it, I'll have on black or blue carpenter jeans and a new orleans tshirt with a print of a girl w/a saxophone no the back.

It was an awesome show....and they are off to NYC this Fiday to play infront of execs at RCA. The y should be back in Houston on October 11th according to Sameer

The Engine Room has them down for Oct. 4th. I have no gallery openings to attend and I have no work that day, NOTHING will keep me from seeing them.

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.

- aaron

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.

- aaron

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

Im intrigued.


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

Hopefully they will come back to the DFW soon.

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. :)

- aaron

hopefully "who" will come back to DFW soon???

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

they will be in rockwall a little north of dallas on saturday night. check www.runtentertainment.com for more info.

- aaron

*bumpitude* Come on people check em out!!!!!! Fans of Eva "shall" dig Passerby.

I do indeed dig Passerby! DL ppl DL DL DL! :whip: this chica has some chords man! :)

I do indeed dig Passerby! DL ppl DL DL DL! :whip: this chica has some chords man! :)

wooooooo hoooooooo. . .we gots the Posi Mod likin' the Passerby!!!!!! As she said people, git ta listening. . .these guys coudl definiely go somewhere!!!!

yeah, this is your advance warning. they are in the middle of *going somewhere*. it's already happening mind you. so... send stuff into your radio stations and nag them to play it. they probably won't, but nagging helps.

the show in dallas was awesome, very high energy. can't wait to see them this coming weekend. and i found out what happened with the misunderstanding when they were in new york. a chick from bmi mentioned evanescence was in town so sameer called ben and he said they were having a party since fallen went double plat and that passerby should come hang out. but sameer being the sameer forgot to get the address and wasn't ever able to get a hold of him again, so they wandered around new york until 4 in the morning trying to find this place. crazy.

- aaron

I got an email from Lacey and was totally surprised! And stoked! She saw my entry in the guestbook on their site and just dropped me a line. I thought it was way cool of her. I hope they can do some gigs outside of Texas in the near future...cuz if Ben Moody says they rock...then Hell..they gotta be pretty damn good!! :P

I'll tell ya what. . .I think they rock. . .so that "DEFINITELY" means they're pretty damn good!!!!!!!!

the cool thing about passerby is while they *do* rock on stage, they are really cool and down-to-earth off stage. very laid back and fun to hang out with. they love music.

- aaron

Bump. . .this band MUST be supported!!!!

sameer pat and i went to the perfect circle show yesterday in houston. we got into the arena around 2:00 in the afternoon and hung around until the show at 8:00. sameer got to meet josh freese and we saw james iha and maynard. we got a kick out of the fact that sameer was recognized 3 times by different people during the day. pretty cool though.

- aaron

bump again... passerby will be in houston the weekend of the 21st with shows in spring and at the side-car-pub.

- aaron

I would say "hey, alright, I finally get to go!!!", but that doesnt seem to be going so well for me. :(

passerby at the javajazz coffee house tonight in spring, tx.

tomorrow at the engine room with hollister fracus in houston.

- aaron

I'm so mad at myself for being late to the party.
Passerby is in Houston tonight and played at the Engine Room at 8.
How could I have missed it? I wish I could have been there.
:(

it was a pretty good show. decent mix. after them, hollister fracus played, which was kind of funny. these kids that are barley 20 rocked the place way more professionally than the 40-somethings whose cd release party the whole thing was. heheh.

there are good shows coming up next month...

Yeah, as has already been said: They opened at the Fallen cd release party @ The Engine Room. I've repeatedly kicked myself for being unable to attend :x ! Plus, Ben Moody gave them a shout out on the O-board following the show. ANYWAYS, next time they play at Java Jazz, I'm there! (Just gotta see Sameer's vintage Peavey amp in action!) Anybody from the board want to come too? I'd be interested in meeting some of you guys. ;)

Oh, and to you guys who haven't heard them before, Life isn't their greatest song (In my opinion anyway). Check out their demo (Broken Wings).

yes, life isn't that great. it's just one of the things paul uploaded to the website. i will see if i can put some of the other mp3s on an webserver i have access to so everybody can share them. you should buy a cd though, if you go to a show. might be worth something someday! heheh.

- aaron

Soooooo.... lot's of activity in here lol. Anyway, I hear that Passerby is releasing a new demo/cd? It says "CD Release" on the description for the concert in Garland, TX on the 19th. Can anybody fill me in on this?

P.S. They really need to come back to Java Jazz or some other Houston area show! I'm there :D

Bump. Plus I just read my email and I have one saying that PASSERBY IS SIGNED!!!!!! Octone Records I believe.... lemme check... yes. Go to www.octonerecords.com

hey everyone...i saw this board on the passerby site. i just wanted to say that i LOVE THEM!!! they are definitly the best band around here. if you haven't seen them, make sure you do sometime before they're off doing the big shows. it's definitly a well spent $2-$7. not only is this band really talented, they're all awesome people as well. i'll say it again, you HAVE to see them live to get the experience, it's so amazing. :D alright, i've raved on enough for now! \m/ \m/

I would definitely have to agree with that assessment. Passerby has a killer live show and Lacy has some serious pipes on her (i.e. she can wail!!!!!!) Anyway, I needa go see em play again sometime. great band, love em (but I could just be biased cause they're friends, then again, maybe not))

they are awesome people to hang out with. sameer is my homeboy band nerd lol. :) anywho, have you ever heard of a band called Freeslave? they're awesome too. they won't play another show till feb*recording and stuff* but you should definitly check them out when they come back. www.freeslave.faithweb.com lol ok, had to get that in somewhere. if you've been to a lot of passerby shows, you've probably heard them...they play together a lot, sameer and peter<from freeslave> went to school together and all that good stuff... anyways, both are awesome bands with awesome people that everyone should listen to and get to know!!! hehe...ok i think frostbite is setting into my fingers..rock on! \m/ \m/

You might consider putting up a thread on here (Inde/small bands) dedicated to Freeslave that way they'll have their own thread and people can check em out.

thought i'd check back in. fyi, james hurt his ankle back on the 20th of december so they've have to cancel most of the shows. he's getting a lot better, and they're practicing for some out of town business this month.

for those interested another runt entertainment band that rocks in envoy. it's a little like radiohead meets ut, with 3 guitarists. they're out of dallas. check out www.envoyofficial.com or www.runtentertainment.com for more info...

- aaron

Ugh. Just got back from Java Jazz. When the crap did punk bands take that place over?! Missing Passerby, I am. :( I can't wait until they record their album and start playing shows again! :D

So does anyone else have the scoop on current Passerby activity? I'm on the outside looking in here, so please help me out DMW or someone ;) .

what do you want to know specifically?

and btw, javajazz has always been a punk-ed out blink-182 wannabe hideout, in my opinion. though dave has done a lot to help out with the place, it's unfortunately a product of its own environment...

- aaron

Well, like how the album is coming along, what songs are going to be on it, and where they are going to be playing shows now.

As for JJ, there used to be several VERY good bands there that were not punk at all. ie. Fed by Ravens (now called Four Star Union, my friends too!), Glass Intrepid, Ibis, and the like. It used to be where Saturday almost always had really good bands. That seems like a rarer thing now :( . Hmmm, speaking of venues... do you know of any good ones in the Houston area? Brenham, TX just isn't really the best place for my band to play. The town's way too country/hip hop.

well, as far as songs go, i'm sure we can expect to see red sam, cassie, and breathe today. ocean waves, penholder, whispering fingertips, so i thought are also likely to show up. i've also heard two new songs they've written that should be heard at upcoming shows.

as for the album that's still a ways off. i think the next thing on the agenda is a label backed ep to shop producers and distribution. there's a new york trip planned for the end of february.

not sure about shows. i'll try to find more info out on that.

- aaron

Gracias man. :D

Awesome! More shows! Soooo, anyone going to be there?
[Edit: Oh by the way, nobody ever support Utopian Noise Tree. Their bass player was spamming ads on the Passerby guest book and when asked to stop, answered rudely and stated that he would continue to do so. However, the last thing I want is to ruin the Passerby site by getting into a juvenile argument with him. So, I call for a boycott on his band! mwahahahah! ;) ]

that's going to be a cool show on saturday... too bad eve6 is playing so late that day. i called keith (their tour manager) and sameer called tony and will try to cross paths while there. we'll see.

12:00 is an early show. man. bah. especially after playing in dallas the night before. hehe. and what sucks the most is that i'm in austin now at ut, and i don't have a car so i'm trying to figure out a way to the show. so if i don't make it or catch a ride w/ the band you guys be sure to rock out for me.

- aaron

Hmmm, I forgot about my boss. I'll have to think up a good excuse for Saturday :?

you can't miss a passerby show because of job. geez. lol. especially since they will soon be off to big and amazing things, few remaining opportunities to see them in a low-key show. hehe.

- aaron

Yeah, I won't make that mistake again.
*Thinks about Evanescence at the Engine Room and cries*

holy crap dude. you should be beaten. j/k.

i waited outside that show for like 12 hours. lol. but then again, that was to meet ben and amy and josh. as cool as that was, i ended up meeting passerby and they're totally awesome and friendly etc. i'm realy excited for them and all that's going on. i'm waiting to ben to acknowledge that this thread exists since he posted about them on the o-board in the first place. sameer tried to call him a few weeks ago to let him know they got signed and hasn't heard a thing back.

::shrugs::

Heh, too bad he left this board :( . ToB said something that offended him. I'd search for it but I'm too lazy right now. But, IT WAS NOT MY FAULT I MISSED THAT CONCERT! lol My parents wouldn't let me go. That and... Holy crap! Passerby is on the radio! 94.5, Red Sam, cya, I'm going to listen!

Heh, too bad he left this board . ToB said something that offended him.

welll, soon everybody will know when they hear them on the radio... speaking of which, clearchannel had a closet-cleaning / restaffing effort going on with the buzz and a few other stations, and i've been in austin so i don't know how all that played out but i'm glad to hear some local music is still getting played. hopefully we can expect to hear more passerby on more stations during peak times.

so many cool musical things going on right now. billycogran.com is up now... i'd be interested to see what ben does but this avrille (sp?) thing makes me scratch my head a little... "sk8r boi?" i mean, come on... the world only has so many barf bags, and when you look at artists like corgan, reznor, and maynard... i dunno... i just guess if it were me i'd choose a little higher quality group of artists to work with instead of the wickid "punk rocker" pop star type. bleh.

- aaron

some bands these days are so ridiculous. the music, the stlye, it's all the same. it's what people used to be cut down and critized for...check out http://www.briandeneke.org/index.html ..he was murdered for what is now the 'cool' way to dress/look. so many people think that averil<idk how to spell it> is a 'punk' rocker. this is definitly NOT punk! punk is the ramones or the sex pistols. now days, if you have the look and can play 3 different chords over and over, you're a punk rocker!

yet another thing i love about passerby. they're different than everyone else. they have their own stlye and way of thinking. the music is so much better than the rest of this..well..crap.. and has so much more meaning and feeling put in to it. yeah, i could go on and on about the whole punk thing and i could do the same with rap<UGH!> but i gotta go finish some homework...blah on school!! :x
*~*Super mLe*~*

and on that note, i go out to brave the 31 degree weather for my calculus discussion section... :-(

- aaron

Bah! It's hopeless. No Passerby for me this Saturday. :( Since I have to be off work next weekend, my boss is making me work this one. Maybe they'll have another show near Houston soon?

I'm one of the passerby junkies who saw them first with eva. ever since then I've been to almost everyshow at JJ, I haven't made it oto their engine room shows here, because of stupid work. and I'M GOING TO MISS THEM AT SUPER BASH grrrrr. Oh well, going to have to wait until my band plays with them next time they play JJ :D Thanks Dave!!!

Really the only thing good about JJ is that you are really close to the bands when they play, which , in the case of passerby, is good and bad. Good cuz it's an awesome show, bad, cuz if your not careful you can have a guitar in the face. And a lot of people know about it so it's a good plavce to get a following. but the ticket prices are waay too expensicve for my tastes.

What's your band's name? You probably could start a thread for them if you want. My band played at Java Jazz once and really impressed Dave but then we lost our bass player!!! He went over to play guitar in Four Star Union (formerly known as Fed by Ravens). Since then, we've been searching, and searching, and searching... *comes off of sidetrack* Oh well. Best of luck to Passerby Friday and Saturday!:D

Meh.

We're not really that huge...yet. I mean we're with a production company that sdoes show around town, and do a few of our own. The Skooby Don'ts, ever hear of them. i think we're pretty notorious for our equipment failures. ;)

What's the name of your band, I frequet JJ a lot so I might have seen you at some point.

i've been to shows in dallas, temple, peaster, austin, houston, rockwell... some other places to... but i can't think of them off my head. suffice to say i'm used to driving. :) but then again, it's well worth the drive.

nothing's better than converting clearchannel junkies into passerby fans. go forth and make listeners of all those who only suck down what they're spoon-fed on the radio. (not to dis-clearchannel too much. they at least can find 1 small hour a week for local music... albeit on sunday nights. bah)

- aaron

Anyone going to show in Fort Worth Friday night...cuz I think I just might. I'm pumped.

Anyone going to show in Fort Worth Friday night...cuz I think I just might. I'm pumped.

i was going to go, but... alas. i've decided to stay in austin all weekend and miss both shows so that i can finish my physics and calculus homework. ::hangs his head and cries:: but... there will be more shows. :-(

- aaron

*bump*

this band diserves to be heard.

so who went to the houston or dallas shows? how about some review details? setlist maybe? what's the scoop?

- aaron

I saw them in Fort Worth on Friday and they rocked. They gave the crowd a lot of energy and were recepted well. First show back in a while and they are still solid. I met Lacey and Pat and they were extremely nice so that's really cool. A rockin band of nice people. I like it.

check out this yahoo group for passerby if you want to keep more informed about what's going on.

fyi, street team activities are being planned and will be announced here and on the yahoo group when we're done.

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Passerby/

Anyone know when the new site will be up?

Anyone know when the new site will be up?

'Sup Aaron! Unfortunately, the links are broken:( . And a friendly tip: The mods on this board don't like it when you double post. I'm not trying to be a jerk, I'm just offering some advice.;)

Ok, my questions to anyone who cares to answer: When is Passerby going to record their album? Are they doing anymore shows closely following the Sin-E concert in NY? Did DMW abandon this thread?:eek:

i took the pictures down because i needed the ftp space... there are more photos on the option30 site and at the yahoo gorup. check

http://launch.groups.yahoo.com/group/Passerby/message/173

the ep should be developing within the next month or so. some houston shows to follow sometime in may.

- aaron

good passerby things are happening. check their website as well as the yahoo group. i'm trying to get ben to post a link to them on his page as well...

they just got back from recording in seattle, and headlined a sxsw show in austin. they'll be in florida next week, if any of you are from florida.

keep an eye out, and don't say i didn't tell you.

- aaron

I'm going to see them at Sam Houston State on the 18th. It's so incredible that they're opening for Blindside and the venue only holds 500 people! It's a sell-out for sure. My friends are going because of Blindside but I'm sure they'll love Passerby. So Aaron, any word on when the CD is coming out?

So Aaron, any word on when the CD is coming out?

well... i can't say too much specifically about that. suffice to say that you should expect to see them on tour internationally within the next year before you hear them on the radio.

they did record a 4 track ep which should be surfacing before the end of the summer (if i had to speculate) and there may be other material popping up here and there in one form or another.

- aaron

Ok, this is a new thread for the band Flyleaf (formerly known as Passerby). I started a new thread to make it easier for people searching for the band since the name "Passerby" will no longer work.
They are based in Temple, Tx and consist of two guitars, bass, drums, and an awesome female lead singer. You can listen to two of their songs at www.flyleafmusic.com (http://www.octonerecords.com/flyleaf.html). These are of off the recently recorded EP. Anyway, the forced name change was unfortunate, but the rock continues. Long live Flyleaf!!! \m/

I just saw these guys open up for Saliva and Earshot in Baton Rouge, and I had to pick my jaw up off the floor when their set was done. I went and bought 2 copies of their cd, got a poster, and proceeded to leave the building so I could find them. They were all really cool and I got them to sign my stuff while chatting. I got their only setlist signed by everyone too :D Evanescence is the only other band I've felt that way about when I first heard them. I hope they make it big. Sameer was really friendly, and Lacey seemed a little shy but very very nice and friendly. The other guys were pretty busy packing things up. Lacey seemed to have some stagefright at times, but the crowd was immensely supportive... moreso than I've ever seen for an unheard of opening band. They were cheering like the main act was walking out on stage. So yeah... my opinion needed to be heard on this :)

Haha, that's awesome man. I didn't know they played over there. Right now, I have a mixed feelings of support and envy for them since it seems that they're doing extremely well after getting signed and everything. Lacey does seem kinda shy at times but that's just her personality. It's a change from the loud, boisterous, cocky rock star type. Heh, it's a different story when she's singing though.;) Sameer is probably the band's most musically talented person playing an instrument. They have a pretty supportive fan base, too. I'd imagine a few people made the drive from Texas to that show; it wouldn't suprise me at all. Anyway, glad you liked them:) .

alright, this is some awesome stuff

definately a new convert here :D:D

I can't wait till a cd or something comes out.
Definately gonna spread the love around to my friends. This is the kinda stuff they like.


And Lacey is a fucking awesome singer, hands down.
\m/

Wow.

That is a band! I need to see them live... Let's see. the closest they come to memphis is Starkville, MS on 10/15 and Batesville, AR (univ of AR) on 10/19.

Starkville's a tad closer... mmm and that's on a weekend, too.

You WON'T regret it Miles. Take off work if you have to! :D

I believe a certain member of a certain band suggested this band as one of the greatest he's seen other than the band they got their drummer and guitarist from, and that everyone should check them out. The day after a certain CD release ;)

I refrained from saying any names seeing as how this is the first time I've been on and posting since he left, and I wasn't sure what the general concensis(sp?) was around here.

They truly do rock, and I've been great friends with them since that show. THey all rock at what they do, some of the greaest talent I've seen today in a band.

Yeah I think you can safely say that Ben Moody said they rock hard. :)

Actually, I think I used to have that page saved, but that was before I had to reformat my hdd.:(

I just looked at the page, FlyLeaf really does rock! I wish I had the other songs on my computer. I want there cd now! I'll read here to find out when it is available.

If you go to one of their shows, their four song EP is available there. They haven't said anything about releasing it to any stores yet though.

Is that a new one? If not, I don't think they're still selling the Broken Wings EP. That was a while ago. However, if this is a new ep with the songs from their recent studio session, then that's awesome.

Hey Jason...

Not sure if you got plans for next friday (or how far Brenham is from MS). But, I'm coordinating a mini-evboard meetup in Starkville, MS for the Flyleaf, Earshot, Saliva concert. Here is a link to that thread. http://www.evboard.com/showthread.php?t=19404

If you can make it out, that'd be killer. :cool:

i haven't heard much of flyleaf yet
Caleb introdiced me to them and i think they totally rock
i hope to hear more from them soon

Yeah it is, its their first one off of Octone. It has Red Sam, Breathe Today, I'm Sorry, and Cassie.

IMO, it's a good CD, nothing of theirs isn't. But I like the original mixes of the songs, not this new, pop/rock producer crap. And according to a couple of the band memebers, they agree.

But it's still worth it. The songs automatically rock no matter how they are heard.

I also would like to see on the EP a sample of some of their other talent, like Broken Wings or So I Thought. If all you ever heard was the 4 songs that are on it, I don't think you'd have a clear idea of some of the music they write. I think it would help broaden the fanbase to include something of the sort.

Also, a link has been posted over at www.flyleaffans.com to where the EP will begin being sold other than just at shows. http://www.cmcdistribution.com/book9/music/flyleaf.htm

Thanks, Machinehead. I got that link, and they also have a forum where band members post, too. I am registered as of now.

Those who join... Be aware. They frown upon "bad language" and sexually-oriented subjects on their forum, as the community is mainly conservative Protestant Christians...

And if anyone happens to wonder, no, Flyleaf is not a "Christian Band", although they are religious people.

Just thought I would post that you can get a FlyLeaf Tshirt and the EP on the Flyleaf website.

I think they sound pretty good.

You or anyone else can PM me to know more. The online selection is a pretty narrow sample.

erm, just a reminder... i know how we all love the band
but this is still a NOT FILE SHARING BOARD

Their song Cassie is my favorite. It is crazy.

"Breathe Today" is so catchy, I can't get that song out of my head. :cool:

which versions? i'm assuming you're talking about the flyleaf ep... but there have been several other releases. (of which machinehead was speaking)

"Sorrow" is my favorite.

I am quite smitten with this band....


Thx, Caleb for telling me about this band!

- aaronHey Aaron! Long time, no see. I think he's talking about the Cassie version that's still sitting in a directory on the passerbymusic site. ;) They recorded that about the same time as the Broken Wings EP, right?


Their song Cassie is my favorite. It is crazy.
Yeah it is. It's pretty powerful when you think about the story behind the lyrics, too.

that version is from the 2003 ep. it makes more sense to talk about the ep's by year instead of name. i'm trying to get them up on the discography section on flyleaffans.com but i'm really busy with school.

I think he's talking about the Cassie version that's still sitting in a directory on the passerbymusic site. ;)


Any version of Cassie that I have sent anyone to listen to has been the most recent one from the EP that is currently being sold at shows. Same goes with all the songs... most recent copies of everything.

Oh, well I think I sent a few versions of the 2003 Cassie to some people asking about Flyleaf before the newer version was available.

*applaudes* Just listened and I really like it. :D Hope to see more of them soon.

Today my mom had to go into the christian bookstore to hang something up. I decided to look what cds they had. I saw this album cover at the bottom and it was the FlyLeaf EP. It was only 3.99 so I bought 3. Its so much greater to hear the songs in cd quality.

They're pretty good. The lead singer kinda reminds me of Avril Lavigne though..

Yep. Avril's a bitch. Lacey seems like the opposite. Avril's Canadian. That pretty much explains everything... Kidding.


Anywho, I <3 Breathe Today. It's rather catchy.

Okay people, I've talked with ToB, Sas, and Flyleaf about this for some clarity. My statement is this: Flyleaf is more diverse than what you can hear in internet samples, and if you'd like to get a better idea of what the full scope of their sound is, then you can send me a private message. I will be more than happy to assist you. :)

Hey, it's been announced that Flyleaf will be opening some tour dates with Breaking Benjamin in December around the east coast. Check Breaking Benjamin's website for details.

Duuude. Flyleaf AND Breaking Benjamin?? If they don't come to Florida, I'll be uber pissed. UUUUUBER pissed.

Alright, If flyleaf will be in Hartford when BB comes I am definitely going to be there. Now I just have to find someone to go to the show with.

wow this post is a little behind but meh I'll post it anyways.

Me and my bandmates saw flyleaf back when they toured with trust co. and all I have to say DAMN!!!!!! They were amazing, and I wish thier new ep would have been mixed like thier last one. This new one sounds almost to crisp....and that pisses me off. They were a raw sounding band....wtf?
anyways flyleaf rocks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
peace,
Kyle a.k.a. Center706

The tourdates have been updated on flyleafmusic.com. Pretty much every show from the 7th to the 19th.

Duuude. Flyleaf AND Breaking Benjamin?? If they don't come to Florida, I'll be uber pissed. UUUUUBER pissed. Unfortunately, it seems that they'll stay with Breaking Benjamin for the northeast only for the time being. Meh, stupid yankees.:(

I've gotten into Flyleaf lately. They're really good! (Maybe because they sound like Evanescence except Amy's voice is better...)

Darn it, only the northeast! They can't forget Texas, its their home state!! Ah oh well, I'm sure they'll come back.

Remember how long it took Ev to come back to Arkansas? ;) Well, let's hope that's a worst-case scenerio.

Has anyone else signed up for the flyleaf street team ? I signed up about 3 weeks ago and finally recieved my promotional kit. It came with about 30 Flyleaf stickers, 30 flyleaf posters, and 30 flyleaf promo singles. The singles have Breathe Today and Red Sam. You can sign up at streetteam@flyleafmusic.com. Damn only 8 days until the flyleaf show.

Yeah mail them your address, a little bit about why you might like the band (or something) and tell them you'd love to promote. They should send you the box of stuff.

Congratulations, now you know what all of us who have been able to see Passerby/Flyleaf ALOT of times already knew. Dynamic performers ALL of em. . .Lacey's kinda like the eye of the storm and the rest of the guys ARE the storm. I remember when Lacey did one of her first performances (still have a recording of it along with a very early version of their song Cassie. . .back then it was kinda soft.)

I would love to hear more Flyleaf songs. Hearing them live is quite an experience. I gotta say it was probably the best night ever. Here is a pic of the set list and my autographs.

http://www.evboard.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=8881&stc=1

"Thanks Chris Love <3 Lacey"

"Thank you Chris, Jesus Loves You Pat"

"James"

"Sameer"

"Jared"

Lacey sounds so amazing live and the entire band was on fire. God it was crazy!

i heard them a while ago and i must say that they truly rock... lacey's voice is amazing... and i'm so glad they're not christian (don't ask), althought some songs di talk about god... i have a few songs and i'm hoping to get some more,i just hate that i can't see them live cause i don't live in the states... well maybe someday...

peace...

i just heard "sorrow" and "red sam" and i like both very much! that girl has an amazing voice. :D rawk on!

Here's my autograph. I put it in a frame lol. ;) We will post band pics soon when they finish developing. I hope they come out good. :/

Thanks guys to got me into them lol.
<- will become addicted now.
I'll look for more stuff. :D

I've sent an email to the street team, just to try. I know that in Spain it hasn't a lot to do, but anyway..

I'm glad you guys enjoyed it. :) I read the other thread of Chris's in W&C... sounds like a good night. Miles, Jamie, and I went to a show a while back, and the account of that is posted here (http://www.evboard.com/showthread.php?t=19404#post565982). I probably should have put it in here too. I'm glad to see people enjoying their music and having good experiences in general :D

ahhhh i love love love it...sadly im only now for the first time listening to them. her voice is great. i love sorrow i havent stopped listening to it for awhile its just GREAT!!! yeah i just did the tony the tiger great but whatev its good

i'm so glad they're not christian (don't ask)

True enough, but at the same time they're not at all ashamed of their faith either (which earns em HUGE points in my book)

I agree. It's near impossible to find a group of people who are all around as nice and cool as they are, regardless of faith differences, or anything else.

I was under the impression that they are a Christian band. There's a Christian rock/alternative radio station in my city that only plays Christian bands and they play Flyleaf.

But it shouldn't matter if they're Christian or not, just as long as you like the music. And what do you mean by "don't ask"? Just wondering.

This is playing out just like Ev in the beginning. Confusion about the christian band thing with the stores they're in, stations they're on, etc. It's just a non-issue really... they make their music and it's out there for what it is. The band has personally told me in a conversation (which they don't mind everyone else knowing) that they're definitely not trying to be marketed as a "christian band", the same way ev was. I think it's an issue worth ignoring :)

That might defeat the purpose of not asking ;)

Hope that didn't come off as too gruff or anything. Just informative. :)

Just came back from the show about an hour ago. I got to talk to quite a few people in the Flyleaf camp. I got to talk to them and stuff. They are REALLY REALLY nice people. EXTREMELY humble and down to earth. I wish them all the best. I wish I had pictures but DO have this.

It's funny that you mention that because when the people that I was hanging out with (Tracie, TheOriginalSin (Heidi), and Lazarus (Alberto) got their stuff sign, apparently one of the members put Jesus Loves _________ on the insert. Jesus doesn't love me though :-/

By the way, they were absolutely amazing last night.

The band as a whole was outta control. I think it was Jared that was jumping and dancing around. I've seen animated guitar players before, but holy shit he was playing guitar like if he were on fire.

Awesome set. :D

uhhhhhhhhhhh, that's news to me. . .maybe not a Christian band per se' but the members are DEFINITELY Christian. Haha, my thoughts EXACTLY. Yes, they are definitely Christians and aren't ashamed to say so. No, they won't force any beliefs on you, but if you want to talk to them about the subject, they are more than willing to do so. Yes, they do more than write songs solely about God (give them a little credit guys;) ). Bottom line, this is an excellent band regardless of your faith. The music speaks for itself.

But yeah, I agree, their set was very good. That chick can definitely hold a note \m/

Saw the band last night with CFW, tracie, and original sin they sounded pretty good but of course I was kinda drunk at the time... damn that senor tequila for seducing me....A few songs reminded me of Avril with a much harder band...well um thats it and remember to get through like all you need keep in mind is that you are not special to anyone in anyway and jesus doesn't love you...

Happiness is Sodomy and Puppies.

One more thing about the Flyleaf set. When I saw Flyleaf, I saw people fly. I guess crowdsurfing has lost its luster :-/

To put the whole Christian controversy to rest, their song "Breathe Today" apparently went for Christian rock adds in October. And the song/band has been gaining momentum since then.

Now, there is absolutely nothing wrong with that although I'm afraid we'll have an Evanescence-esque controversy on our hands.

I'm glad you guys had fun at the concert too. I just got my pictures from the show back and they look great! I got a frame for my autograph too. Here it is.

they sounded pretty good but of course I was kinda drunk at the time...

They tend to do that though:

Fly from NY to Amsterdam for $99*

($99 is the price from one point, one way to another. If you are going from NY-Berlin-Amsterdam roundtrip it will cost you $396+$500 in taxes and other applicable fees. Flights must be booked between the hours of 3-4pm on 12/19/04 EST and the departure day must be on 1/8/04 between the hours of 6-8pm. Departure home must occur 3.5 days later between the hours of 7-9am.

You can listen to it at www.flyleafmusic.com, but you can download a live version at www.flyleaffans.com

it's safe to say i've just been converted in to a flyleaf fan :)
thank you caleb for pointing me to downloads that my comp was able to handle! signed up for the street team and am about to order the cd.

now..if only they would come perform on the west coast! *sits and waits*

*chants* Long Live Flyleaf! :p :p :p :p :p

i can't stop listening to their music. haven't liked a band this much since evanescence ;) hope i get my promotional kit soon so i can distribute it to ppl at school :D \m/

Now with the extra activity I thought it'd be a good idea to bring this back up as a reminder in case anyone missed it. Spreading the word is my pleasure :)

Also I want to point out again that aside from the record label's site at http://www.flyleafmusic.com, the main fan site where the band prefers to post and such is http://www.flyleaffans.com. The website is a bit messed up at the moment, but the basics are there and they're working on it. The forum however is working fine at http://www.flyleaffans.com/forum

i ordered my cd last night so hopefully it will be here by the time i get back on the 30th. and i sent in the request for the street team yesterday too...hopefully ill get the promo kit. \m/ *listening to seether...::random::*

I've been a member of the flyleaf board for awhile, thats where I heard about this one, which is cool cause I was un aware that there was one. I just got another shipment of swag today woo hoo. flyleaf is awesome!!

As a long time fan and friend I can NOT wait until these guys bloq up huge!!! I got something only a select few have, it's a live recording of an early version of the song "Cassie" (this was several years before Passerby/Flyleaf even came into existence) It's quite a bit different, almost ballad like whereas the Flyleaf version is pretty much "balls out" Little bit of trivia, when Lacey talks about Cassie nowadays she says it's about the Columbine shootings (I can see the logic in that due to the fact that ALOT of people know about it) But when she debuted it, she said it was about a shooting that happened at a local church out here during a youth service (a guy who played bass for my band was at that church the night it happened, freaked him out.) Anyway, I "might" be pursuaded to put it up for a little while if I can find a place to host it or to stream it from (so people can listen to it but not download)

I just heard those two songs, OMG they were good! Can somebody tell me more about Flyleaf?
*crazy*

Maroon 5's My Space is promoting Flyleaf.

In case it isn't showing up, right click under that Michael guy and go to properties lol. I saw it up there for the first time and then it didn't display, but it's there.

Silly me, didn't realize that they were labelmates :rolleyes:

that's pretty darn cool!
well hope to see them live soon...

I just discovered this band today...although i wish it was sooner. I love the band already! I hope to one day see them live!!!

Today I was in the market and saw a girl with an Ev button. I handed her a flyleaf sampler. She asked me if she would like it. I said probably. I'm going to go back in a couple days and see what she thought.

Uh huuhh....that's not what you're only going back for. :p

I finally bought the EP today. I had been looking all over for it, couldn't find it at any music store.. so I went to a Christian music store, and there it was. Flyleaf is awesome.

Flyleaf has a whole page in Metal Edge Magazine-March 05 (the one with Motley Crue on the cover). I haven't read it yet as I am worn out, but I did scan it for you guys, and I will get it up tomorrow or Monday (I have family coming in tomorrow). I will just edit this post, instead of double posting. If I have the time, I will go ahead a type it up for you, but that will most definately be Monday or Tuesday.

rock on!

I though tthe server was screwed up, and right now it is, then I thought my pic was too big, but it wasn't, the server is messed up. The scan is large enough to read it straight from there, but I can still type it up later if you like. Scan tomorrow!

One year ago, they were playing in the same venues as my band!

Thanks Deb! Wow this is so great.

so they get more attention each day!
that's awesome, so maybe they'll get really big and come to europe someday!

here's the scan, PhotoBucket resized it, I couldn't get my regular server to work. I will put it up there when the server gets fixed!

Wow, that's shweet! Thanks for the scan Deb!

I can host it on my site for awhile until yours work if ya want?

hmmm their good i like them

I was looking around at some websites and it looks like Flyleaf will be in the Studio in LA recording a full length album in February.

Lost what luster??? I guess I'm lighter than I thought, 'cause I went bouncing on that crowd like a beachball at a luau!!



You & me both, buddy!! Thanks for the brew & sorry for spraying you with it :) My neck still hurts, as does my thumb since you bit me, you ravenous swine!!!!!

And let's not forget our slogan for the night: HEY. HEY!! BEEEER!!!!!

mmmmmmmmmmmmmthumbmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Just a little tip. If you cannot find the flyleaf ep in stores. You can download all the songs on itunes.

wOOt, glad to hear they are recording a full length album, i've gone on a flyleaf craze trying to find out info on them, thanks for that tid bit chris :)


Ps: I just got the song's off i tunes *thumbs up*

They will also will be touring soon with Saliva then Trust Company. :D If this wasn't mentioned....


I gotta see them again with Trust Company.

AGAIN with Saliva?! Didn't they just tour together in last year's third quarter?

I think Aminah made a mistake. She was browsing the runt entertainment site and thought they were but it was just Gabe's spot to talk about the tours.

Damn...I didn't even delete the fuckin post in time. Blah.


Anywho...my mistake...it was a section to talk about the tours. Fuck.

Thanks Chris, sounds great. I can't wait.

I'm kind of wondering something, though. I wonder if I'll have to wait a while, untill Fly Leaf comes here to Ohio? I'll keep my eye out. I think when bands are 'Indie' you have a better chance of meeting a band, ya know before they get 'Mainstreem'. One of my hopes was to meet 'Flyleaf' before they get big, but that's coming really soon. They are going to blow up big. I know it! :D

Ack, here's something funny. . .found an old Passerby (Flyleaf) live recording that my drummer did when they played the club. . .heh heh. . .wonder if I have any video of em laying around. Oh yeah, and when I get off my lazy ass I'll load that old version of Cassie onto my comp.

Man you just have all the goods. You are like a God with the flyleaf stuff. I think I will bow down now.

:eek: oh wow. I just listened to some of their samples, and their stuff is just phenomenal. I will definitely be checking out some more of their music.

Another reason why I love Evboard. Otherwise I wouldn't know about all these other bands. :D

Heh, the live recording I have is from like early 2003. . .it's crazy, this guy named Cam was gonna produce Lacey pre-Passerby, but things never materialized, I think my drummer still has a copy of one of the songs that they turned int a passerby song, got a T-shirt floating around here somewhere and a couple demos *shrugs* knew Lacey before she got famous (Incidentally, Moseley is NOT Lacey's real last name, she took the ame from a guy named Steve Moseley who was dating her mother for awhile. . .I've known him for quite awhile as well. . .he's an excellent guitar player and he DID teach Lacey some. . .matter of fact, I think my drummer has an acoustic song she did somewhere as well.) Wouldn't call myself a "God" per se' just a very small world and i travel in a lot fo circles int he local musical community. :p :p :p

You know what when we went and saw flyleaf while we were talking with Lacey she was talking to us about the music and how she thought she couldn't even sing. She told us she did want to play the guitar at one point. Thanks for all the info by the way. Seems you know a lot more then anyone here.

I just clicked on Chris' sig yesterday; the music is mindblowing; I love it. I downloaded the live songs from FLF, and my favorite is Cassie so far. I'm gonna go out and get the EP as soon as possible, cos they're really good.

Glad you liked what you heard. Flyleaf kicks some major ass.

They do...I can't wait for the album. I usually blast Ev all day, and now I'm playing the songs I downloaded, and my whole family's like "WTF?" Lol.

Lately, my mother has been saying "Ooh Chris is cheating on Evanescence."

Oh I picked up the Metal Edge Today. Here is the scan!

That was a shweet interview. I liked that. Glad they are getting more publicity. Lacey is so nice and humble. I love all the guys! w00t for Flyleaf!


Mm..sexah ass Pat in Chris's sig. :D

Aside from their music. . .that article shows EXACTLY why I have so much rspect for Lacey and the boys. . .she has the courage to be strong in her faith and I DEFEINITELY admire that.

A little story here...

My friend comes up to me and says "I have to tell you about this band, I think you'd like them, they sound like Evanescence." And I said "Flyleaf" and she said yeah and that she's been telling a lot of people around our school about them. So yay for Flyleaf, I get the feeling they're gonna get pretty big.

I love the live versions of the songs on http://www.flyleaffans.com. Does anyone know if those are gonna be the songs on the full length album?

I really don't think that flyleaf sounds anything like ev. They are a totally different sound. I agree with Teh DMW, I have respect for her standing in her faith. Its great.

I've listened to a few of their songs and so far I love this band! I can't stop watching the video for Breathe Today and the live videos on flyleaffans.com! I must get the EP! Maybe I'll go with my friend to a Christian book store sometime and see if it's there (seeing as she goes there all the time, she listens to a lot of Christian pop) seeing as somewhere in the thread someone said they saw it in one of those... If it's not there I'm ordering it, I need to have it!

And even though I've only heard a few songs from them, even I can tell you that the only thing really similar between Ev and Flyleaf is that they're female fronted rock bands.

I really don't think that flyleaf sounds anything like ev. They are a totally different sound.

I agree completley. They don't sound anything like Evanescence, but that's a good thing. I don't like when too many of my favorite bands sound the same. One thing that attracts me to a band, is a different sound. Flyleaf defiatley brings that to the table, and I'm truly getting into this band. I'm loving everything that I have heard, and they really rock hard.

I'm really mad that I just learned that they were in Ohio THREE times, and I didn't know! I can't belive I didn't know! Oh well, They'll be back. I'm sure of that! :D

I thought I wouldn't like Flyleaf, but after hearing "Cassie"...whoa. This band is obviously really talented, I think I will buy their album when it comes out.

I've started promoting Flyleaf. I'm hoping that it will pay off, so far I've let people know about them in these places:

-AOL Message Boards

-AOL Chat rooms, Rock, etc.

-I've told my friends

-I've made some PROMOTIONAL BANNERS, AVS, ETC. I'll host these on PHOTOBUCKET, ASAP!

-I'm going to make a Flyleaf fansite, and put the link in my AOL Profile, etc. So all of my friends can check them out. So, it's kind of like a circle. If my friends like them, they can tell others about the band, etc.

That's cool. Sounds like you are really passionate about them. Why don't you sign up for the street team and get some SWAG sent to your house ?

I'm going to join the street team, tonight. After I'm done cleaning up my desktop, I'll go and sign up.

I do like this band, I see them getting big. That's why I'm so excited, and promoting them like crazy. I just see alot of talent generating from this band, and I have a really great feeling about them. I don't know, just something about them. I can't pin-point it. But, I know it's there!

I so want that EP!! I love the songs red Sam, Sorrow and Breath Today. But I can't buy the EP because no store is selling it...

*cries*

Well you live in another country I see. It could get hard trying to find the EP. Maybe someone on the board would be willing to hook you up like they did with Sas.

Yeah I got the EP from the Christian bookstore here. I am going to call tomorrow and have them order like 5 more for me because I would like to have some unopened ones and also maybe help some people out here who cant find the EP. But yeah, I don't think you will find it in any other stores then a Christian bookstore. Don't take my word on that though. It was 3.99 btw.

Thanks Minah. I'm calling 'The Bookery' tomrrow. That's the only Christian book store that I know of around here. Hopefully they'll have it. If not, I'm sure they can order it.

Are you sure that your not Chris? Because I totally see the resemblance! :p

(I'm so sarcastic today! No offence, either Aminah. All in fun! ;) )

Sometimes I swear she is lying when she says she has a vagina.

Anyway, back to subject. Isn't it crazy that people are already trying to make money off of flyleaf when you can get this stuff for free ?

That's pathetic. Can't the Publisher of posters and stuff like that Copyright it? Or put a Patent on it, so people can't do that? =/ If they could, they should. I would. I'd be so freakin' mad if someone did that to something I made. :mad:
