I love when people upload things from way back when! Look at this interview from 2002 from when the band was Passerby. It’s short, but so great. Thanks to Laura for linking it.
This is the artwork for the Missing single which should be out very soon. No exact date for a US release, but I’m betting it’s within the next couple of weeks. Below are some photos I shot at the Prudential center on February 19, 2010:
DVP: When did you know you had something special going on as a group?
James: I think the first practice. “I just knew we should keep working at it.
Pat: “I think it was one of your first shows. I was playing with my old band and I remember watching ‘em from the crowd. Then we had to go on and I remember the next day at school all the people in high school were going, ‘Hey, did you guys hear that other band?’ And I was like, ‘We played, too!’ he laughs. “They made everyone in the room stop, which was pretty rare.”
DVP: How do you keep your voice going?
Lacey: In the beginning I didn’t do anything. I’d just pray about it.

I’m sure a lot of you have played around with the FormSpring site before. It’s a pretty interesting thing, so I thought I would start up a page for FlyleafOnline.com, where you can ask questions about the band, site, etc. You can click on the link to get to the page, or type in your question on the side bar. In running the website for 5 years, I’ve picked up on some facts & trivia along the way. Maybe you can find out something cool you didn’t know before! Personal questions about the band won’t be answered, but that goes without saying. Let’s keep it fun. :D
Tons of pictures can be seen below! I have a ton more to add as well, so stay tuned if you’ve sent in photos and you don’t see them up yet. If you’ve taken pictures at a show and want to contribute, you can email them to brittany@flyleafonline.com.
Laura stumbled upon this video where the band talks about their driving force, almost quitting, and how the scrapbooks that you guys have all contributed to have helped them keep going. I thought it was really awesome that Lacey mentioned it.
Thanks to Franklin for finding this video. :) You all should watch this video. It’s a really long interview with Pat from the earlier Memento Mori era. I can’t embed it here, but you should definitely check it out. Also, I found another cool video with Sameer/Lacey while browsing the site that I’ll post below.
A diverse group of Christian musicians are helping bring relief and comfort to earthquake survivors by contributing their talents to a new album called “Healing4Haiti.”
“Healing4Haiti” brings together a diverse group of Christian musicians who wanted to use their talents to bring relief and comfort to earthquake survivors. The lead song for the project, “Come Together Now,” was written by Michael W. Smith, David Mullen, and Cindy Morgan.
The album also features songs by Israel Houghton, DecembeRadio, Kari Jobe, The Afters, Hawk Nelson, Flyleaf’s Lacey Mosley, Canton Jones, Lincoln Brewster, Mary Mary, and the Tommy Coomes Band.
Proceeds from album sales will benefit earthquake relief efforts by the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association and Samaritan’s Purse.
The album will be available for purchase and download on March 2. More details will be provided as the release date approaches.
The Poughkeepsie show tonight has been rescheduled because of all the snow. I haven’t seen it posted anywhere on Flyleaf’s sites, but it’s legit. We saw them yesterday at the Looney Tunes in-store, and their tour manager confirmed that it was rescheduled. You can view the venue’s site for more information.
*DUE TO THE WEATHER THIS SHOW HAS BEEN RESCHEDULED TO 5/24, ALL TICKETS PURCHASED FOR 2/10 WILL BE HONORED FOR THE NEW DATE*
So instead of seeing the band play a headliner today, I’m going to work on the site! I will be posting the pictures and video from the Looney Tunes acoustic event last night, and finding some stuff that I know I have from the last few shows that I haven’t uploaded. So stay tuned. I’ll post as everything gets uploaded. :) For the record, Looney Tunes is the coolest record store I’ve been in lately. Go there if you live in the area. The band’s setlist for the performance last night was (click for performance videos):
Flyleaf is nominated twice for Best Rock Song on The Christian Rock 20 website. Let’s see if we can get them to the top! I’d say we have a better shot if we focus on just Chasm, but you can vote for either. You can submit a vote every 12 hours, so get crackin’!
Also, just a reminder — I’m putting another Scrapbook together for the band to give to them in Newark, NJ on February 19th. So get your letters, thoughts, prayers and love in while you can. :)
Here are some photos from tonight’s Grammy Awards. The show just started, but here are some pictures from the red carpet. Lacey was nominated twice along with Third Day for her vocal work on the song Born Again. They didn’t win for the two Lacey was a part of, but Third Day did win for Best Rock Or Rap Gospel Album, so congratulations to them! Click the pictures below for some more shots. I’ll add more as they become available.
HUGE NEWS! All Around Me has officially gone PLATINUM. Flyleaf has sold over 1,000,000 singles throughout the US, which is absolutely amazing. Yay!
With recent successes, attracting an audience should be the easy part. The band’s self-titled first album had four successful singles: “I’m So Sick,” “Fully Alive,” “All Around Me” and “There For You.” It followed with songs featured on the video game “Guitar Hero.”
“That’s strange,” Bhattacharya admits. “But it’s been a great advertisement. Lots of kids have heard our songs on ‘Guitar Hero’ and then come to the shows. Having new fans like that re-energizes us.”
Also energizing the band lately has been the release of its second album “Memento Mori.”
“The title may seem morbid, “remember your mortality,’” Bhattacharya said, “but we think it’s uplifting, and we hope others see it that way, too.”
According to the Passerby Army, Flyleaf will be doing a live chat on the fan club this coming Tuesday. Read below for details:
This coming Tuesday, February 2 from 3-4PM EST you can catch the members of Flyleaf for a LIVE chat before they go into soundcheck for their upcoming show at The Big Sandy Superstore Arena in Huntington, WV!
Hey guys! Flyleaf was featured on the show Criminal Minds that aired on January 20, 2010. They played a clip of Enemy, which is pretty awesome! Thanks to Bianca for being the first to let me know.
We’ve all seen the tons of pictures that Flyleaf has posted on their Facebook, but we now know that Diane Martel directed the video. She’s done stuff for Britney, Avril, The White Stripes, Justin Timberlake, etc. So you know it’s probably going to be really great. I’m excited to see it! Looks like it’s going to be pretty amazing from the photos.
On the note of videos, a guy named Sam Tindall is making a video for Chasm. There’s more information (photos/news) on Facebook if you search for ‘flyleaf chasm’. It looks like it’s going to be really great. So go check it out on FB.
You can listen to a new(ish) Flyleaf interview here. Thanks to Laura for finding it.
The chart page was also updated with new numbers. Memento Mori has found the hands of over 181,000 people already. Pretty amazing. Even after a few months, I listen to the album all the time. I won’t lie. It’s pretty fun to sing it in the car on road trips. Caleb probably doesn’t like it much, but WHATEV. It’s fine.
Tons and tons of new tour dates with Breaking Benjamin and Three Days Grace have been announced in the past couple weeks, and they’re all posted here. Thanks to Caleb for uploading them. :) We’re going to be at a few of them (like always), so I hope to see some of you there! :)
According to the band’s Twitter page, they are currently recording the music video for Missing. You can view lots of pictures on their FaceBook. Here’s one just to give you guys an idea of what to expect!
For this upcoming tour, I’m going to be putting together another Flyleaf Scrapbook to give to the band. If Memento Mori has moved you in any way (or anything else related to the band), please share it here. I have a feeling this one is going to be a good one. :D I think this will be number 5!
Here is an article, thanks to Melissa for finding it. It mentions the head-injury that Pat gave Lacey during the ShockHound performance. If you haven’t seen it, there is a video player on the page the interview is on; just wait until the end. Along with somethings about Memento Mori and other details.
It took Texas rockers Flyleaf four long years to release the follow-up to their mega-successful self-titled debut. But with their new Memento Mori debuting at number eight on the Billboard 200, it’s pretty clear they haven’t lost any steam in the interim. That’s probably because they’ve never really slowed down — the Texas quintet have spent the bulk of their “off time” between albums on a relentless touring schedule, including dates with the likes of Korn, Stone Sour, Disturbed, and the Deftones.
Though they’ve never made a secret of their faith, the band has successfully avoided becoming pigeonholed as a “Christian band.” Part of this certainly has to do with their choice of “secular,” tourmates; but the powerful rock sound of their hits “I’m So Sick” and “All Around Me” — not to mention frontwoman Lacey Mosley’s impressive vocal chops — have also elevated their material far above and beyond Christian radio’s generic Jesus-song fodder.
Mosley and bassist Pat Seals recently sat down with ShockHound to recount their warzone adventures, tell us why Memento Mori feels more personal than their first record, and explain why they believe it’s important to live with an awareness of death.
They also treated us to a raucous Shock Session, which ended in Mosley suffering a startling hit to the head in the last seconds of their final song, courtesy of Seal’s bass. But she’s doing okay — and apparently, this is not the first time it’s happened. -Interview Here.
Here is an article/interview with Sameer about recording Memento Mori. Thanks to Nicole to finding this!
Sure, sure. I have heard it all already. Everyone I know that is a fan of Flyleaf is upset that the band made the decision to take the road less traveled for them, one with less screams and a tad less aggression on their new album, Memento Mori. Yeah, their self titled album was teeming with a certain kind of rawness, a certain power all its own. This time out they took the path of melody and concentrated more of their hooks than anything else and guess what, it worked perfectly. Memento Mori is a great next step for the band, a natural progression if you will. So those that are miffed, rest assured the band has not changed – if anything they have gotten much better. -More
I hope everybody is enjoying their holidays, whichever you all may celebrate!
The following is an article. It’s from October but I just found it.. so yea! I also thought it was worthy with this newish band picture. It’s new to me atleast! Haha.
Flyleaf has been living the dream but with its sophomore album, the Belton-born band turns its focus to, well, death.
“We cry and laugh at the same things,” said frontwoman Lacey Mosley. “We are all going to die the same death.”
Whether in a small, Central Texas town or all the way across Europe and Asia, guitarist Sameer Bhattacharya said mortality connects everyone.
The band members realized these truths after their five-year tour around the world, promoting their debut, self-titled album that went platinum last year. The second record, “Memento Mori,” releases Nov. 10 on A&M/Octone Records, and the band performs Wednesday on ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live. -More here!
