Title: Music & Media
NXH - June 19, 2009 03:08 PM (GMT)
Trying to create some common sense threads here - I hope...
The news thread can be for general info & this one can be specifically for music, videos, photos, etc.
Try this one on for size:

Carly & co. listening to the final mix of their first single
The WATFMOAL" (Mother of all Lists) Keep checking back for updates... :)
FYI: Not all the articles are from actual interviews so expect miss-information and slanted opinions.

The new Fallen web page is really starting to roll - just found this:
NXH - June 20, 2009 02:39 AM (GMT)
Here are some scans of Carly & The Fallen from the paper copy of USA TOday from yesterday:

Cheryl - June 20, 2009 03:04 PM (GMT)
I cleaned this up a bit and added a new category. Good thinking Nate
carlysmyidol - June 22, 2009 12:55 PM (GMT)
I guess this is where we should discuss the press conference (we should get lots of news articles and hopefully videos/pics), the new photoshoot pictures and Bury Me Alive. I'm so excited-come on 3pm!!!
:w00t: :w00t:
carlysmyidol - June 22, 2009 03:40 PM (GMT)
Sorry for double posting but I didn't see this picture from Carly's MySpace blog anywhere, so here it is :
The Band At Work

Also, I got a copy of the printed version of the LA Times on Thursday while I was in Vegas. I'll scan the band's article and post it tomorrow (I left it at home).
NXH - June 22, 2009 07:06 PM (GMT)

Found this on the Idol Forums-this reporter from the Examiner.com was at today's event and wrote an article. She also posted some comments on the forums and had great things to say about Carly-the article also had a cool picture :

More on the press conference. The band performed two songs. Then they sat at a table and did a question and answer section from the press. Jason was there from last season's American Idol. I also saw Carly's husband. He came out to watch the show from backstage. After wards they did some indiviual press interviews with a few reporters that were pre planned.
Carly sounded and look fantastic.
Feel free to ask any questions. |

| No I think he just meant that since it is him and the other two guys that he has already worked with , plus already knowing Marty now working with Carly that he feels like that. They gave no impression that they were just making Carly a replacement. She has a equal part and big say in the band. She seem really happy and said that it is lonely sometime being a solo artist, so she was very happy to find a band. |

I finally got mine & got it to work & am now the proud owner of "Bury Me ALive" on mp3. B)
One thing I did note is that I tried the download through Firefox first and it didn't work, then I tried through IE, and it worked.
Don't know why....
Anyway back to playing my new song....

oh wow. just wow. this takes me back. anybody remember her last elevator ride? when she was on idol and riding up to find out if she made the Top 24? I bet Carly liked this elevator ride a lot better.

Here's a Billboard.com article about the band-nothing new really, but it does mention that they will release another song in September before the tour starts. Yay!!
| QUOTE |
| We Are The Fallen has released its first song, "Bury Me Alive," on its official web site, WeAreTheFallen.com. Rather than bring out an album, Moody says the group plans to release new material sporadically via the Internet; another track is due out in September before the quintet hits the road and then the band will release two songs every eight weeks. Moody says We Are The Fallen is considering a terrestrial CD for 2010 that may contain extended versions of the songs as well as orchestral interludes and perhaps even live recordings and footage from the tour. |
