WE ARE THE FALLEN Guitarist Invites You To Experience 'Cirque Des Damnés'

January 12, 2011

WE ARE THE FALLEN — the group formed by EVANESCENCE co-founder Ben Moody (guitar) and other former members (LeCompt and Gray) along with "American Idol" powerhouse vocalist Carly Smithson and bassist Marty O'Brien (DISTURBED, KELLY CLARKSON, STATIC-X, METHODS OF MAYHEM,TOMMY LEE) — has scheduled a special show on January 22 at the Avalon Theater in Hollywood, California.

A video message from Moody inviting fans to experience the event can be viewed below.

Commented Moody: ""In about 10 days, on January 22 at the Avalon Theater in Hollywood, California at 7:00 p.m., I'm producing a circus called Cirque Des Damnés, which translates into 'Circus Of The Damned,' and it's just that. It's going to be a carnival-style event thrown into the unpredictability of a rock and roll show — bigger than we've ever done before. There are going to be aerial acts and old-school freakshow freaks, there's going to be a burlesque show and a woman is going to swallow a very big balloon and then bring it back up. I can't promise this is a family-friendly show, but what I can promise you is that you will never see anything quite like tonight. So, please, if there was ever a time you were going to travel for a show, we need people here to experience this night, this would be the one — this is the one that will make your drive worth it. Carpool, bring some friends, we're gonna be giving stuff away, it's gonna be amazing."

WE ARE THE FALLEN's debut album, "Tear The World Down", was made available on May 11 via Universal Republic Records. The CD sold 13,000 copies in the United States in its first week of release to land at position No. 33 on The Billboard 200 chart.

WE ARE THE FALLEN made its live debut on March 23 at Kings College in London, England. A 28-city U.S. tour as the support act for HIM launched on March 26 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and wrapped on May 9 in New York City.

In an interview with Billboard.com, Moody said, "We had initially intended to go at this alone because we didn't feel like a major label was up to the challenge. I've had mixed experiences in the past, and major labels can fuck things up faster than anybody. But the entire Universal Republic team got what we wanted to do, and it was worth changing our plans and worth the risk to partner with them because we thought the outcome would be greater than something we'd do on our own."
