A little bit more west, then south… Yep, that’s a good place for a tour!
Things are starting to not look so good. My streak may be ending.
I’ve seen Sam on every tour since Summer 2009 and it looks like he will finally be eluding me. And I am one sad panda about this.
How can this NOT exist on the tour? HOW??
I’ve been frantically searching every travel site, working and re-working flight schedules, checking fares and clicking on every flight ‘deal’ that has landed in my inbox the past week to see if I could make it happen. And I am coming to the dreadful conclusion that I don’t think I can.
::sigh::
The worst part? That week is my birthday week. I already have the time taken off. I will basically be sitting on my ass at home with no where to go cause I can’t get to any of these slightly too north and far too east shows. Well I could. If I took a second mortgage out on my home. But I do have my limits.
And really, does Sam even know how to have a tour anymore without seeing me? Drunk Amber has gotta be a highlight of every tour. Am I right?
I know I am not alone in this. I have seen your tweets. You all pretty much begging and doing things like offering your first born child just to get Sam to swing out this general direction. I even made a little map, just in case Sam somehow forgot.
I think we might need a support group or something. I’m pretty much borderline depressed about this. I may turn to drinking. Oh, wait…
Clicky for a clear view of where we need Sam to be!
And, for those of you situated in that red circle, I am happy for you. I really am. I am not at all seething with jealousy with the other blue circle people. NOT.AT.ALL. And I will be much happier with you if you share pics, videos, stories, WHATEVER so I can live through you vicariously.
So, who is with me on the list of sad and depressed? Who’s taking out the 2nd mortgage? Are you a northeasterner who is going to take care of us all? Let us know in the comments.
Don’t know when Sam is on tour? We got you covered on our Tour Dates page.
Mix Tape Monday: Holly Conlan
presents
Holly Conlan
Since you are ALL going to see Sam Bradley on his Minor Tour, those of you in the U.S. need to get familiar with another name… Holly Conlan. And let me tell you, you are going to want to get there early to see her because she is pretty much amazeballs. Srsly.
Here is her bio from Shore Fire Media:
Los Angeles native Holly Conlan has carved out a distinct niche in Hollywood’s expansive music community. Her musical journey from a child pawing her father’s grand piano, to classical composition student, to surefooted indie-pop artist has led to the sort of burgeoning career that few independent artists enjoy.
A 2008 release of the Bird EP saw Holly’s first national exposure, with the languid piano and soaring cellos of “Winter” and the upbeat smirk of “OK” appearing in hit shows like One Tree Hill, 90210, Drop Dead Diva, Ghost Whisperer, The Ex List, and Privileged. That Summer, “You Are Goodbye” was awarded the coveted iTunes Single of the Week spot– its heartbreaking lyric and haunting production garnering a slew of new fans. Soon the film world took notice, and Conlan was offered a spot on the soundtrack of Love and Other Impossible Pursuits starring Natalie Portman. Radio play followed in a nod from KCRW (Top Tune – “OK”) and her addition to their 2009 pledge-drive giveaway package.
With the support of LA’s famed Hotel Cafe, Holly has been lucky to share the stage with a number of notable performers including Sara Bareilles, Colbie Caillat, Katy Perry, and Butch Walker. As part of 2008′s Hotel Cafe Tour, she traded sets with the likes of Ingrid Michaelson, Meiko, and Erin McCarley. Plus, her addition of “I’ll be Home for Christmas” to their holiday compilation, Winter Songs, rounded out the Sony/Epic release.
2009 saw the independent release of her newest LP, Fascinator. A culmination of more than a year’s work, the thirteen song offering retains the piano driven spirit of the Bird EP but delves deeper into instrumentation and arrangement, with lyrics that hypnotize. Produced by Al Sgro (Meiko, Gary Jules) and mixed by Darrel Thorp (Beck, Radiohead), Fascinator’s mature realization is proof that Holly Conlan’s journey is far from over.
Here is a taste of Holly AND you can get this song on her website for free!
Not only does Holly have “You and Me” as a free download on her site, you ALSO get a free coupon code for Toms when you sign up for the newsletter. Free music and a deal on shoes? Win-win, my friends.
And really? Sam? You are not fooling anyone. We see what you are doing touring with all these hot babes. And for that we say, kudos Sam. Kudos.

Friday Fangirl Report: Is It Hot in Here or is That Just Marcus?
Whoa. This has been one HELL of a week for Marcus. The kind of week that we hope and wish and would love to see every week. But damn, it has been crazy hard to keep up with it all. If felt like some stuff happened two weeks ago when it JUST happened on Monday.
But no worries if you are still trying to remember everything that happened in the world of Marcus. I have decided to dedicate this week’s fangirl report to all of goings on of Marcus cause the boy was on FIRE this week!
Enjoy! Read the rest of this entry
why i need Marcus to announce his tour dates….
Sometimes Amber and I like to take our word vom to a whole new level. It’s one thing to write what we think because we can always make a few minor revisions so we don’t get our posts entered as evidence for a restraining order, but it’s a whole other ball game when you hit record and just talk. Like we do with the ol’ AudioBoo. There is no filter there. At all. So basically, you all get to hear how we really are and how we really talk. We ain’t lying when we say we have a bad case of the verbal spews.
