Goth-rockers EVANESCENCE thrilled fans at a comeback show in New York on Wednesday night (05Nov09) after selling out the gig in just five minutes.
Amy Lee and her band performed their first show of 2009 at the Manhattan Center Grand Ballroom after announcing the gig to fans just hours before they hit the stage.
The one-off performance was a warm-up before the band's Maquinaria Festival show in Sao Paulo, Brazil on 8 November (09), where they'll play in front of an estimated 40,000 fans.
Acknowledging the need for the gig, Lee joked, "Thanks for being our guinea pigs."
