Sameer and Jared will be signing at the World Vision booth and holding a guitar clinic at the Gear & Guitar Bazaar in Puyallup, WA the weekend of July 12-13! If you’re in the area, be cure to check out gearandguitar.com for times, tickets, and everything you’ll need to know.
Other than that, we’ll see those of you whose neck of the woods we’re coming through this Summer- be sure to check the tour dates to see if that includes you. Thanks! FL
For those of you in the US, have a great 4th of July. To everyone else, have a wonderful evening. :D
The Beneath the Surface DVD is now available on Flyleaf’s Web Store. It’s $15.00, with the lowest shipping cost at $7.40 that I could find. So it’s a little pricier than what it would be if you bought it at a show, but I maintain that it’s worth it. The DVD is really informative and lets you get to know the band better. So for everyone that really wanted one, here’s your opportunity. :]
Here’s a new interview where the band talks about how long they’ve been together, how they’re writing for the new album, and why they wanted to do the Rock Corps show.
As some of you may already know, Flyleaf has been doing great on VH1’s Top 20 Countdown. They’ve gotten up to #6 on the countdown, and I think that’s pretty awesome. If you want to support the band, click here and vote once a week, putting Flyleaf at your number 1. While you’re at it, you should vote for the band on TRL as well.
As of right now, not much is going on in the Flyleaf world. They’re scheduled to play some one off’s here and there, but for the most part they’re resting. Jared updated everyone as to what they were doing in their time off here. Tomorrow, they’re set to play the Boost Mobile Rock Corps show, which should be great. To get tickets, basically you have to volunteer your time to an organization.
Behind the scenes, I’ve been working tirelessly on the new project. Halfway through, my host told me the software I was using for it wasn’t allowed because it guzzles up the servers resources. So I had to start over from the beginning. I decided to move it to its own domain in the meantime. It should be open to the public soon. :]
For those of you who wanted to download the Denver show with the HQ version of You Are My Joy/From The Inside Out, among others, you can do so by clicking here.
First off, just wanted to let everyone know that a few new clips were added to the radio today. The first is a live, good quality version of Flyleaf covering You Are My Joy / From The Inside Out. The other two are under the ’studio’ heading, and are some clips from Third Day’s new record, which feature Lacey on vocals. Those two are called Born Again and Run To You.
In addition to that, quite a few new tour dates have been added. So check those out if you want to see the band live within the next few months. Also in the band section, I thought it would be a good idea to put up lyrics from the songs that the band has covered. I also updated the video information page with some new stuff about Sorrow.
Everybody who sent money through PayPal for their DVD should be receiving them in a few days. It’ll probably take a little longer for international orders. They were sent out this afternoon.
Just wanted to let everyone know. :]
A new contest should be launching soon where the grand prize will be a Flyleaf prize pack including a DVD. So look out for that sometime in the near future.
One lucky winner will receive a personal phone call from Flyleaf and an autographed Gibson/Epiphone guitar! The first 5000 phone calls receive a free ringtone from Flyleaf. Enter below to win one of 9 autographed Flyleaf Gibson/Epiphone guitars.

This isn’t the big huge project that I was talking about, by the way. I’m still ever working on that. Hopefully it’ll be done within a couple weeks.
The chart history page has been updated again, as always. In addition to that, the gallery has hit over ten thousand pictures, which is awesome.
Edit: Thanks to the 15 people who offered their help. Everyone who emailed me got an invitation. The project will launch within the next couple weeks or so. :]
Hey guys, I have a favor to ask some of you who are willing to help me out. I’m starting this big new project for the website that I’m looking to launch within the next couple weeks, and I’m looking for a few people to help me test it out. There’s a prize in it for the top helper, so your work won’t be worthless. ;)
The first 15 people who email me will be invited to beta test the project. Basically what you’d be asked to do is thoroughly check out what I’ve done so far, test out the software, and give me feedback through email. The one person who helps out the most and gives the most useful feedback will get a copy of the Flyleaf Special Edition CD/DVD and some other cool Flyleaf related stuff.
I’m very sorry about having to cancel the last 5 shows of our tour with Seether. I’m trying to quit crying when I think about all the people I have let down, but I pray that there will be grace and understanding to help me through this time. After 2 weeks of having no voice between shows, my voice finally went out during the second song of our set we played at Nokia Theatre in Times Square. We cut 6 songs and I struggled to finish the set with the heavier songs that drowned out my singing anyway.. Pat even came in for the screams and falsettos… haha.. It was a shame that Rich had his microphone turned off.. I heard people say that everything sounded great and I was thankful that no one seemed to notice how bad I was struggling. The next day we were scheduled to play in Pittsburgh, and I also had an appointment to see the vocal doctor there that morning. After seeing the damage I had done to my vocal cords already and worrying about seriously injuring myself by continuing the tour we decided to cancel. Pittsburgh was particularly difficult to cancel because it was a special show with our friends and family and we were getting to play with one of my favorite new bands, Kairos. Its interesting that the last time we had to cancel a tour cause my voice went out it was during a headlining run with Resident Hero and Fair To Midland and it also ended in Pittsburgh.
With all this sad news we are actually very happy to be home to rest and write and work on a new record. The guys and I have been writing individually and after I get completely well we will get together and have a brand new Flyleaf album for you to enjoy. I hope you are just as excited as we are because the songs that we have, even at this point, are my favorite ones we’ve written. I love you all so much, and thank you so much for being so amazing to us. We will do our best to take better care of ourselves next time so that we wont have to cancel any more shows. -lacey
It’s really good that they got to go home, but the circumstances of it are kinda sad. Hopefully Lacey’s voice feels better soon and they’re able to enjoy the time off.
