Even in Death
Even in Death was an Evanescence tribute band born in spring 2002 under the name Estesia, showing from the beginning a particular creativity and the originality of their music in which the power of rock guitars is mitigated by sophisticated piano melodies and delicate and well-mixed sounds. So started a laborious live activity, which leads them on several Tuscan stages and rock events where they presented their work. In 2003 the band performed at Donoratico (LI) during an event organized by Emergency and MTV Italia and in the same year, they produced their first EP "POP ART." Later the Estesia project undergoes a radical metamorphosis taking new life and form, even amplifying, the valuable characteristics acquired. The renewal was the add of a new bassist (Federico) and immediately after a new guitarist (Claudio) and in the substitution of the initial male voice, with the female voice (Carlotta) whose characteristics have suggested the inspiration for the creation ofthe present tribute band ,that today is able to give to Evanescence fans, the typical sophisticated atmosphere and, thanks to the determination of newcomers, the surprising energy of the famous Band headed by the charming Amy Lee.
Withered Wisteria
Withered Wisteria is an Alberto’s project, who in August 2007 decided to give life to the Evanescence tribute he had dreamt of for some months. Thanks to some friends and well known musicians he was able to organize a first rehearsal, performing Tourniquet, My Immortal and Bring me to Life. After some line-up changes, in December the band completed its line-up and they decided to take part at the contest organized by the official Italian fan club. They started to practice a lot, struggling for be well prepared for their first live. In December they also registered their first demo with “Call Me When You’re Sober”, at the Music Inside Recording Studio (Carpi, MO). The song was then mixed and produced by Davide Rossi at the Castel D’Azzano (Verona) studio. The first live of the band was performed January 16th at Klakson (Montecavolo, RE). The show was recorded by Valerio “Wally G” Carboni (Music) and Ivano Incerti (video). In the last two weeks of January 2008 Valerio worked on the mix and the editing of the Video “Call Me When You’re Sober”, required for the contest. The band is now studying and practicing the whole Evanescence repertoire, since 1998. Withered Wisteria wish to create a set list for their shows which starts from the first songs of Evanescence and ends with their last work “The Open Door”. They want the audience to participate to the show by choosing songs for the set list.
