Evanescence Brings Goth-Lite To Gotham

Mick Stingley of the Hollywood Reporter was on hand for the sold-out Evanescence show at New York’s Hammerstein Ballroom on Monday night (October 9). Stingley writes, “Steeped in the gloomy trappings of goth on their records and in their videos, Evanescence’s live show was curiously bright. Bathed in green, pink and white lights, [singer Amy] Lee sparkled on ‘Going Under’, from the band’s multiplatinum debut, ‘Fallen’. But the dark, mournful lyrics about breakups and depression — notably during the performance of current single ‘Call Me When You’re Sober’ — were mitigated by Lee’s cheery disposition between songs.” Yahoo.com has since removed the full article.
