lil wayne, ya’ll

… we haven’t shot a live dvd yet. has nothing to do with the city haha we sucked that night. messed up too much. wow, can’t win. and that spelling error was ace as well, huh? sometimes, it happens.

tomorrow is a day off! we’re stoked to be playing another show in Idaho in a couple of days, as we don’t go through there that often. last time we were there was on Warped. the crowd was pretty awesome that day. man, i miss Warped tour. this summer will be strange not being on the whole thing. one week of Warped just isn’t enough. not sure why i’ve been thinking about that so much lately, but i have.

the guys are in the front making videos of themselves dancing to that “lick me like a lollipop” song hahaha. they have carroll - our monitor guy (who rules) - doing all sorts of dances. which i’m sure looks AMAZING. and i’m just chillin’ in my bunk… today took a lot out of me, for some reason. we didn’t hardly do anything but play the show but i’m beat. oh man, now it’s “smack that”. i’m gonna wait to watch the videos, i don’t want to ruin it for myself. who knows maybe the guys will decide to post those?

well this has been a really informative livejournal post. haha. hope you guys are doin’ well.
if we haven’t seen you at a show yet, we’ll see you soon!

PARAMORE UNVEIL NEW VIDEO AND SINGLE!

This article is a few days old, but it was posted on Paramore.net, I thought you guys might find it interesting. :]

Fueled By Ramen recording group Paramore has released ‘That’s What You Get‘, the latest single from their RIAA gold-certified second album, ‘RIOT!,’ impacting now at Modern Rock and Top 40 radio outlets nationwide. The track’s companion video clip - directed by Marcos Siega (Weezer, All-American Rejects, Sara Bareilles) - had its all-day ‘Unleashed’ premiere on MTV2 last week and will premiere on MTV’s ‘TRL’ on April 8th. The video has hit #1 on the iTunes Alternative Video Chart and #6 on iTunes overall Video Chart in less than one week.

Paramore recently celebrated the single’s release with a high-profile concert appearance on ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live on April 4th. This week, MTV and mtvU will premiere its annual Spring Break extravaganza, taped in Panama City, Florida earlier this month (check local listings).

Paramore also has a full-on touring itinerary which will see the Grammy Award-nominated punk-pop quartet traveling through the summer. First up, the band is currently on a major co-headline tour, sharing the bill with Jimmy Eat World. The tour kicked off April 1st in San Antonio, Texas, with shows continuing through early May. In addition, the Tennessee-based band will be among the headliners at 2008’s two Bamboozle festivals: the Bamboozle Left on Saturday, April 5th in Irvine, California; and the Bamboozle on Saturday, May 3rd at the Meadowlands Sports Complex in East, Rutherford, New Jersey. From there, the band will cross the Atlantic to headline the UK’s annual Give It A Name festival, stated for May 10th and 11th in London and Sheffield, respectively.

Paramore’s summer schedule will officially begin on June 30th with a headline show as part of Milwaukee’s yearly Summerfest celebrations. Next on the agenda will be an eagerly awaited slate of mainstage appearances on the upcoming Vans Warped Tour (July 1 - 6), the band’s fourth consecutive year on the tour.

‘RIOT!’ made an explosive chart entry upon its June 2007 release. Boasting two top 5 Modern Rock radio hits in ‘Misery Business‘ and ‘Crushcrushcrush‘, the album quickly went on to achieve RIAA gold certification, with sales now over 800,000. An array of accolades followed, including a ‘Best New Artist’ nod at this year’s 50th Annual Grammy Awards and ‘Band of the Year’ honors from Alternative Press. Having toured nearly non-stop since coming together in 2004, Paramore recently sold out every show of its 22-date North American headline trek.

LJ Update

[	mood	|	mellow	]
[	music	|	Life is hard enough - Have Heart	]

well hello…

sorry it’s been a minute since we’ve updated. we’re a week into the Jimmy Eat World tour and so far, it’s been one of the most enjoyable and relaxing US tours we’ve been on. the shows have been beyond ridiculous… i can’t believe some of the rooms we’re playing. not to mention, sharing the stage with JEW and Dear and the Headlights is so much fun. we owe it to you guys. this is a tour we’ve dreamt about since we started playing shows; before we were even Paramore. so, thank you for getting us here.

i needed to post this story back in March, but i kept putting it off and forgetting… i got a package in the mail the other day from Tooth and Nail Records. i knew i hadn’t ordered anything from them, so it was a little weird. i opened the package to find a mewithoutYou vinyl, with a demo of Nice and Blue pt. 2 on it. so, obviously i was stoked… but i still didn’t really understand. then i noticed all over both sides of the sleeve were hand written messages from Mike and Aaron Weiss (guitar player and singer, respectively). now, they are one of my favorite bands… so i freaked out a little. i’ve met them a couple times and had great conversation but this was just on a whole different level. Aaron’s message to me was revolving around the difficult time our band was having out on the road and the short break we were taking. without going into too much detail cause i believe it to be a little personal, he talked about the fact that it is a beautiful thing to struggle as a Christian. to be purified like gold in a fire. i know most of you don’t share the same faith as us, but i still wanted to share that story. because maybe you can find your own meaning in it. Aaron also said that he’d been told about our situation through a friend named Monika, someone who i’m pretty sure is an active member on the LJ community. when i opened the sleeve, i found a letter from Monika… and when i read it i wanted to cry. She had ordered the vinyl for herself and when she heard about what was going on with the band she sent it to me to lift my spirits. even though she really wanted to hear the demo and she loves mwY…. probably even more than I do haha. i was extremely humbled by that. i still haven’t thanked you personally, Monika, but that was one of the nicest things anyone has ever done for me.

our fans rule. it’s not even about the shows or how loud you guys can scream from the crowd. it’s a connection. one that i don’t see too often with bands in our scene. here’s to the dream tour.

i must find a t-mobile store. my scenekick is jacked up. see you tonight!

Win Josh’s Guitar & New Jeremy Interview

– Want to win the guitar that Josh is using for the Jimmy Eat World/Paramore tour? Head on over to www.paramore.net/fender . Contest ends May 5th and the winner will be picked May 9th.

– Jeremy very recently did an interview with Mercury News. Here is a little snippet of the article. (If you want to read the full article, click here):

Davis knows something about an age gap himself. He first played in a funk cover band with Williams, four years his junior, when she was about 13. A couple of years later, she approached Davis about joining a new band she was starting with her friends Josh and Zac Farro. Davis was taken aback when he showed up at the first rehearsal and found that drummer Zac was 12.

“I had very, very, very little faith in everyone in the band because of their age,” says Davis, who was already an experienced musician with some Nashville session work under his belt. But he was quickly won over.

“Some of the ideas that come out of Josh and Zac and Hayley’s heads - it astounds me at times, because I remember how young they are. I just feel like they’re super-creative.”

Because of their history together, Davis has a unique perspective on Williams’ talents.

“I still feel like no one in this world has heard Hayley sing like I have,” he says. “Really, she holds back so much. There’s like a big Aretha Franklin inside of her that is just powerful, and just crazy, and no one’s really heard that side of Hayley.”

Even “holding back,” Williams has impressed nearly everyone who has come across her music with a powerful voice and stage presence. Many have speculated that the band’s recent problems stemmed from the attention Williams receives from the press at the expense of her bandmates, particularly her songwriting partner, guitarist Josh Farro.

Davis scoffs at that idea.
