amor-exitium:
So I’m just gonna go on a bit of a rant about my day today. IT WAS COMPLETELY FREAKING AWESOME. It was the best day I have ever had at school. We had two bands (Lost in Atlantis and Halocene) and this guy Gabe Kubanda come to our school and put on a concert for us during lunch. Needless to say, I…

I don’t believe in heaven. But if there is one, I hope its exactly the same as life. <3

Dear world
Auto-tune - robotic sounding effect used on a lot of pop artists where the note is pushed to perfection without any legato between notes. — Does not mean they can’t sing. It’s just a fad.
Pitch correction - used on like every single singer on any CD, ever (well, since the digital age). Yes, Adele, (new) Metallica, I don’t care who it is, but they used it. — Does not...

Please help me save my local venue...
I know a lot of you are out of city, state, and country. But it would mean the world to me if you were to sign this petition to reopen one of our greatest local-supporting venues.
The venue was closed due to a gang related shooting at a rap show. Please don’t let gang violence damage our local scene.
I played this venue a lot growing up, and it pains me to think that I’ll never play...
Last year, I was SHOCKED when I found out we won the battle of the bands to play the Warped Tour.
Then just a few weeks after we played Warped, we played my favorite show of all time, which won us the battle of the bands to open up for Blink 182.
A week ago we found out we’re moving on the finals of the Ford Gimme the Gig competition.
Sometimes all of this just overwhelms me.. sometimes I...

Girls growing up in this world are exposed to sex and are made to understand that that’s what they need to do to be loved. The child sees a woman on stage, dancing the way that she does, singing the things that she sings, and sees that everyone, especially men, ‘love’ her for it. I don’t criticize women for dressing the way they do, but I could never personally look a child...

I will never be cool. It’s something I sort of came to terms with at like, 10. But when you figure that out, you find ways around it. For example. I’m not so good at being a girl. In fact, I’m quite terrible. I still ask my mom if my clothes match sometimes. So in defense, we did the photo shoot of me with the guys in the guys bathroom.
It’s not about being rebellious or...

I cannot believe we opened for blink 182.
Mark Hoppus knew my name, even for just that one day.
Ohhh my gosh. Will I ever get over it? Probably not.
Paramore.
It’s well known that female-fronted bands are compared to Paramore. And I’d just like to say something.
I don’t think that it’s wrong that people do that. It’s human nature to compare similar things. It’s how we find friends, companionship, foods we like, and everything else. It also helps us to identify what is different.
Eventually, once we identify all the...

You know what I see?
1. A ton of hard work
2. Hundreds of people that make it all worth it. <3
You did this. I love you.
Relax, rebuild, reinvigorate.
This is a business. And businesses take hard work. You think you’ve got it all down, but the game is constantly changing, which means you’re constantly trying to be the first to predict where it’s going to go.
I’m no fortune teller… just a believer. I’ve believed in this business since I could stand. And I put all of my being into my business.
I definitely...

Hi, my name is Addie.
And this is a blog that I’m going to try and not mention music in when talking about myself. Difficult…
These are the things I know about myself.
I know that I’m a (sometimes ignorantly) optimistic person. I always give people second chances as I can’t hold a grudge for more than a day. I have the ability to cry for four hours about nothing and to not shed a tear when...

"Headlining"
doesn’t mean much.
Back in the dizzay, it meant that you got the latest time slot (no earlier than midnight) which meant that the largest amount of people would be there.
Nowadays, it means you have to sell a lot of tickets.
Back in the dizzay, shows were $2 and there was no internet, so people came to shows just because.
Nowadays, you’re selling a $15 ticket if you’re lucky...
23
So since I’m all stoked for the Taylor Swift concert this Saturday I thought I’d post something related. Well… kinda related. Most fans know Taylor Swift’s lucky number is 13. Well mine is 23 and it has been for a long time.
I was born on the 23rd. (March 23rd, 3/23).
My mom was also born on the 23rd.
Her favorite numbers as a kid were 2 and 3.
She was 23 when she had...
Hello, We Are Halocene.
So the most commonly asked question (next to ‘do you like Paramore’) is what Halocene means. Well Halocene means you. It means you and me and every single person that’s ever been to Halocene show, bought a CD, visited our website or thought a Halocene song was kinda cool.
Halocene is you!
We are all a big Halocene family and I love it! We might not have the most likes on...

Best. Day. Ever.
I wasn’t nervous. It felt so so right and normal. And I thought back to the times where I took my karaoke microphone and sang in front of thousands of ‘people’ in my bedroom when I was little. There’s really no difference to me (at least on a nervousness level). I can’t talk to a person on the phone without sweating and pacing like a madwoman, but playing music in...

When people say they think the battle of the bands is rigged, I laugh. I laugh because I used to think ALL those contests were rigged.
…Then we started winning them.
Just keep at it, guys. Seriously! Every single band that played that night deserved to win. I really hope that you all do, because you all worked hard and are ridiculously talented.
Just keep doing what you do.

.... wow....
We’re opening up for blink-182, Jimmy Eat World, and Matt and Kim next Friday. And I… I kind of… don’t know what to say. I mean, I could ramble on for hours about everything. I’m going to try not to.
We had a friend of ours come out and film the whole thing professionally (THANK YOU by the way, you are amazing). So we have footage of backstage, onstage, and of...
