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. In 2003 he started 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 but may yet be released one day. After leaving Epic the band changed their name to The Age Of Information and released an EP in the fall of 2007. By the fall of 2008 David began working on a solo EP after signing with Warner Brothers Records entitled The Rising released to iTunes & Amazon NEWS November 19, 2013 
The highly anticipated 2nd release of the December Sessions series. David's hand picks of songs that needed to be heard, in a stripped down acoustic format. Available both from Amazon MP3 or Apple iTunes October 11, 2011 
This is the release of the Arrows To Athen's debut album Kings And Thieves. David on lead vocals, Steve Miller on lead ROCK. This is the project that was born out of what was David's solo album with Warner Brothers, touring with Steve Miller, they created this project together and has been developed into a well rounded album. The band will even be playing some shows around Los Angeles this fall in support of it. Tonight they are playing The Mint in LA, more to follow soon. There are no physical copies of the CD available yet, maybe in the new year, until then you can head over to AMAZON MP3 ($7.99)  or iTunes ($9.99).
September 7, 2011  This is it folks! Six long years we have been waiting patently for the greatest CD of all time to be released.

The red tape has been cut, the CDs have been printed, and it gives me a great deal of pleasure to announce that Trading Yesterday's album More Than This is now available to the general public.

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."
