Following the release of the much-acclaimed EP Who We Are in 2013, alternative rock group Flyleaf announced its intention to return with a full-length album in 2014. The sheer energy and haunting lyricism of the album echoed qualities of past Flyleaf tours, in which the band fused a unique melodic element with a hard rock feel. Flyleaf’s energetic presence on stage is contagious with guitarists Jared Hartmann and Sameer Bhattacharya dancing as they strum. The release of Who We Are marked the first major achievements since the step-down of original lead vocalist Lacey Sturm. Immediately following Sturm's departure, new female vocalist Kristen May impressed with her stunning voice and obvious passion, qualities essential in assisting the entire band in the lead-up to its first Kristen May-focused album and associated tour.
Flyleaf began as Passerby, a collaboration between Lacey Sturm and James Culpepper. After joining forces with Sameer Bhattacharya and Jared Hartmann, the group performed in concerts throughout Texas, eliciting the majority of their ticket purchases from Christian fans bored with the traditional religious music scene. Even with clear demographic trends and frequent allusions to faith in their lyrics, members of Flyleaf refer to themselves not as a Christian rock band, but as members of a rock band who happen to be Christians. Since christening itself Flyleaf in 2004, the band has experienced success in the mainstream music industry, most notably landing on Top 40 radio stations with the single "All Around Me." Subsequent successes have included the release of a second full-length album, Memento Mori, as well as headlining the 2010 Unite & Fight Tour. The band may see a future transition into a less faith-based approach, as Kristen May expressed a desire to take a different route in the 2014 tour.
Flyleaf has been my favorite band for a long time. They have such a passion for God and for their music. God and this band have changed my life so much. before the show, i saw Jared on the street walking with his wife and talked to him for a bit, and I got to meet them and gave them a thank you letter.
Flyleaf was amazing!! They were very energetic with the crowd. They Got into it interacted with everyone, and made it fun. The whole band made the show great because of their outgoing and joking personalities. T hey joked around, playing jokes on the other bands. It was an overall exciting show. They sounded great, I reccomend them to everyone!
The entire show was full of energy that kept the crowd involved in the music. The sound was amazing and each song played just blew me away. Flyleaf did not disappoint; they played really well and even played some new stuff which was really cool. You could tell that Flyleaf is the real deal, they feel their music and it shows as they play. I would love to see this band again.
The tickets were way cheap, and the show was awesome! If you haven't seen Family Force 5 or Flyleaf live yet I suggest you do!
This was my first time to see Flyleaf but not my first time at a concert. A friend I took to the concert however, it was her first concert and she had an amazing time. I'm glad that Flyleaf was her first concert experience because my first concert wasn't all that great. The other two bands, even though we didn't know them, we both really enjoyed. They put on a great show, and since it was the last show of their tour they had some added fun, another pleasant experience.
