Showbox at the Market may have “Nudedragons” tonight. But the other Showbox has We Are the Fallen, a band that’s generated a little buzz of its own, based on a lineup that teams “American Idol” alumnus Carly Smithson with Ben Moody, John LeCompt, and Rocky Gray from Evanescence.

The band will play songs from its forthcoming Universal Republic debut “Tear Down the World” during an opening slot for H.I.M. Saturday at Showbox SoDo. And in the days leading up to the show I caught up with Smithson to talk about …

… going from “Idol” to Fallen.

… the breakup of Evanescence and why you shouldn’t compare her to Amy Lee.

… breaking the ice with “Bury Me Alive.”

… remaking Madonna’s “Like a Prayer.
