We Are The Fallen
Former Evanescence members Ben Moody, John LeCompt and Rocky Gray are back with a new band featuring former ?American Idol? contestant Carly Smithson and new bassist Marty O'Brien. Called We Are The Fallen, the group debuted the new song ?Bury Me Alive? on Monday along with their version of Evanescence's ?Fallen? for their first audience. Moody says he had never seen Smithson on ?American Idol,? but she did leave an impression the first time they performed together. He recalls, quote, ?The first take she did, I was going to say something to her and I looked and there's a pair of headphones on the floor and she comes barreling through the door, 'Where's the bathroom?' I pointed, she ran, and I guess she sang so hard that she threw up.? Smithson swears it was a flu bug, but it didn't matter to Moody who was more than thrilled with her voice. The band intends to release songs every few months digitally so as not to allow any lag time. Eventually the tracks will be combined into a full disc in 2010.
