Rock group Evanescence, initially formed in 1994 by Amy Lee and Ben Moody, released three EPs before the end of the ‘90s and an album called Origin. By 2002 they were signed to Wind-Up Records and expanded the line-up to include musicians John LeCompt, Will Boyd and Rocky Gray. In 2003 they released their first official album, Fallen, which sold over 15 million copies.
Evanescence released a live album, Anywhere But Home, in 2004. This was followed by Open Door in 2006, which sold one million copies in its first week. The band then waited five years to release their third album, the self-titled Evanescence. The band has toured extensively across the world. Their 2012 world tour took in a number of dates in the UK, South America , North America, Australia, China, Japan and Indonesia.
The band has received five Grammy nominations and has won two awards — for Best New Artist and Best Hard Rock Performance. Other accolades for the band include a Los Premios MTV award, a MTV Australia Video Music Award, a NRJ Music Award, two Teen Choice Awards and a World Music Award. Amy Lee was awarded the National Music Publishers' Association's Songwriter Icon Award in 2008.
The band’s line-up has varied with a number of members leaving at various stages in their history. One of the founding members, Ben Moody, left in the middle of their European tour in 2003. He was replaced by Terry Balsamo. In 2005, Will Boyd also left, with Tim McCord joining in 2006. During their 2007 tour, John LeCompt was fired and Rocky Gray decided to quit. These two members were replaced by Troy Lawham and Will Hunt.
Evanescence's lead singer Amy Lee has worked on a number of other projects. Her version of “Sally's Song†was included on the soundtrack for Disney's The Nightmare Before Christmas. Her collaborations with other artists have included Korn's “Freak on a Leash†single and Seether's Broken, which was featured on the soundtrack for The Punisher. She has also performed on tracks for David Hodges, Big Dismal and The Damning Well.
The first opening band sucked. It was draining listening to them and did no suit the other two bands. The second band was much better and a great lead into Ev. Amy Lee is an amazing performe. Her sound live was just as good and sometimes better then the recordings when she was belting it out
The 2 opening acts were awesome. Both "Rival Sons" & "The Pretty Reckless" were both great. Evanescence was great as usual. Amy's performances on the piano and keyboard are superb. Vocals were amazing as you would expect. "Lost In Paradise" is one of my new favourite songs. Just overall AMAZING. Hopefully next time...Evanescence will be playing at a venue with seats. :D
Opening band Rival Sons great new band don't know much about them, second opening band, The Pretty Reckless absolutly amazing, love them, definate future superstars. Amy Lee and Evanescence was awesome, absolute hard rock perfection! In my top three best concerts I've ever seen in 22 years.
Evanescence is awesome. If one looks at the music arrangements and the lyrics the band has depth. Amy Lee has a voice of an angel! She easily out sings most rock-star female acts period.
