The crowd is still screaming at a sold out show in Anaheim, California as the sweetcore phenomenon known as Alesana exits the stage.
“I don’t think I’ll ever get used to this,” says frontman Dennis Lee as he tips back the last swallow of his water bottle. “Seeing kids go crazy like that thousands of miles away from home reminds me that I have the best job in the world. Oh, and that wearing cowboy boots on stage probably isn’t the best idea in the world…but it simply must be done. ” Crowd response like this is something that the six-piece from Raleigh, North Carolina is quickly becoming accustomed to all over the country and other parts of the world: and this is only the beginning.
The band’s debut full length record On Frail Wings of Vanity and Wax, in stores nationwide on March 20th, 2007, is built around a dynamic, emotionally charged, three guitar, three vocal attack. “We’re all about dynamics, both musically and vocally,” says vocalist/guitarist Shawn Milke about why the band elected to employ three guitarists and three vocalists. “We don’t try to be like anyone else or to be something we’re not. By having six members we are able to pull off the same guitar and vocal harmonies in a live setting that we have on the record.”
Forming in November of 2004, Alesana has always focused a great deal of their attention on having an energetic and memorable live show.
