Evanescence - NACB.com & Evboard Interview w/ David - Links |
David Hodges is a Grammy award winning artist. In 2000 he began as a solo artist, but was quickly recruited into the band Evanescence as a keyboardist and backing vocalist. He left after the completion of Fallen in December 2002. Currently he is the frontman for his own band, Trading Yesterday, which independently put out the CD The Beauty & The Tragedy. Then while signed to Epic Records, Trading Yesterday recorded the album More Than This which unfortunantly got shelved permanently. Today David and the band are moving forward with all new material and a new band name: The Age Of Information. NEWS September 6, 2007The day we waited for is here. The new EP is now available to buy. 
June 22, 2007 There's a small mention included in the newest issue of Entertainment Weekly. ( View The Scan ) June 2, 2007 David posted a new demo of a song called "Just A Little Girl" which is a rebuttal to a single by a former idol currently on the radio. Go to the MySpace to hear it! Tell all your friends about it, that way they can all hear the other side of the story too. Very soon we will have news on the upcoming EP. It's slated to be released end of June/early July. With it will be a new band name, new MySpace, new merch... check back SOON for those details. Also thank you to everyone that bought a copy of The Beauty & The Tragedy reprint. It was a huge success, and is once again sold out. If you still want to get ahold of the album, it's fairly easy to get ahold of mp3 downloads. :) October 24, 2006 This past weekend Trading Yesterday opened a show for Chris Tomlin, a big name in the Christian music world. It was the biggest show the band has played thus far, and its only the beginning. There's some pictures from the show posted thanks to Dan. 
Also this past week Jon Shirley released his new album Heaven Hear Us which was produced by David, mixed by Mark, and music performed by David & Steven. If you'd like to pick up a copy of the CD check out Independentbands.com August 22, 2006 Trading Yesterday has started playing some shows around the LA area. TYboard member Megan was at the show last night and took some great pictures for us.

January 24, 2006 Charlie Hall's record comes out today, Jan 24. It was produced by TY frontman David Hodges. You can listen to a couple of tracks at charliehall.com (and I think see some videos and pics of them in the studio) and buy a copy at http://shop.planetwisdom.com/hall/. If you like Charlie's music then please buy a copy and, if you can, buy it this week. First week sales are really important to see how much support a label will give an album. November 30, 2005 Trading Yesterday left Epic records. Here is the statement from David: "we haven't been happy with epic sitting around and i guess they haven't been as amped about our band as we had hoped. so as of tuesday, the 15th we are no longer signed with epic. as of wednesday the 16th, trading yesterday went back into the studio with new stuff. not that we didn't like more than this as it was, but we wanted our record to reflect our journey and where we are in it and we felt that leaving it like it was wouldn't make it complete. we'll have the new stuff finished soon and at the beginning of next year we'll start shopping it to labels. yes, it's kind of like starting over because we are now officially an indie band. but no, we're not starting over because we have a completed piece of work that could be put on the shelves tomorrow (ok, in a couple of weeks). sorry you guys have been in the dark, but 2006 will rule." ( source ) October 24, 2005 David has been busy the last couple months. He just finished producing the new CD for Charlie Hall. It will be in stores in January.

The song is called "Pieces Of A Dream", which is also the title of the album. Glen Ballard (Alanis, No Doubt, DMB) co-produced the track with David. June 11, 2005 The song "One Day" will be on the soundtrack for the movie Stealth, in theaters July 29. The label is now looking to push the single in November with the CD release around February of next year. May 4, 2005 The single has been released.
