Wow… A lot is going on right now. The band and I just pulled an all nighter from LA to Dallas. We left LA at 9 am yesterday  and got into Dallas at 4 pm the today. That was rough, but it’s so nice to be back on the road again with my best friends. Our first show is in Dallas tomorrow morning for the WFAA morning news show. We’ll be rockin out at 8 am tomorrow morning. It’s gonna be crazy. We’re also gonna be playing at Opening Bell Coffee tomorrow night. Then were off to San Antonio and Austin! We unfortunately had to cancel our Houston show, so for all of you that were coming to Houston, I hope you can make it to another Texas date!  After we blaze through Texas, we’re heading out to Nashville for a show and some writing sessions. I can’t wait to get back to writing. I’ll be working with one of my all time favorite writers, James Slater. We wrote “Beautiful Day,” “Every Heart” and “Mama” together. He’s my soul brother! We also just released a few new tracks on My Personal Sky! You can check out the whole album at http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/my-personal-sky/id370930918

We  have a new store on the website! You can now order autographed CDs from www.sarahaze.com

Please visit the store section of the website to pick one up! 

Oh and last but not least, I decided to get in touch with my darker side and died my hair dark brown. I hope you like it! You can check out some pics on my facebook page. I just needed a change, and I actually really like it! Scarlett Johanson inspired me, I hope that’s not totally lame, but she just looks so damn good with dark hair! Anyways, please check out the store, the new songs on iTunes, the tour dates and my new look! I freakin love you and I hope to see you at a show soon!

Love love,

Sara

We are stopping in LA in between tours to do a stripped down set at The Mint with Jared Lee… He is the shit! I love his music. I’m really excited to be back in LA to perform an acoustic set for you guys. I also have a surprise for all of you that come to the show… Any guesses??  Doors open at 8:00, I’m on at 8:30 and Jared is on right after me. This event is 21+ 

I hope to see you there!!

Love,

I don’t know where to begin. This tour has been quite an adventure. We played our very first metal show in Salt Lake City, Utah. That show was surprisingly ridden with glory. We invited the entire crowd to get on the stage and dance with us, some of the crowd even free styled over “Beautiful Day.” All the fans signed Mike Wyzykowski’s (Drummer) Spartan bod, and we convinced the sound guy to turn David Fertello (Violinist) off before the opening song of the set. Unfortunately, he thought we were serious. Hilarious.

 

We ended the tour in Denver as direct support for Nico Vega. They kicked my ass. I’m officially going to learn how to jump on top of Mike’s drums, which was inspired by Aja (Lead singer of Nico Vega)… hopefully he’s ok with that and I don’t break his drums or my face. We also got to play with our good friends Sarah Slaton and Emily Jaye from Frentik. We could not have ended this tour on a better note. Even Nick Bearden (Guitarist) made a special guest appearance as the bands personal bartender. “I know people… and that person is me.” – Nick Bearden…Oh how we love Denver.

 

While we were there, I saved David Fertello’s life. Seriously. After taking an epic picture of me milking a blue cow, David was looking down at his phone to see the epic photo. While doing so, he walked right in front of an electric hybrid bus. The thing about electric buses is that they make absolutely no noise. As he was taking his final steps in front of this huge beast, I ran to his rescue and grabbed his bitchin bod to pull him within inches of permanent destruction. Please, don’t call me a hero. I just really love my band, and I will do anything to keep them from being dead.

 

We’re on our way home, driving for 16 hours from Denver to LA. Somebody needs to go to Blockbuster and buy movies before I punch Matt Reyes (Bassist) and David Fertello in the face for singing “Row Row Row Your Boat” in a round. 

 

Merrily yours,

Sara Haze, David Ferello, Matt Reyes, Mike Wyzykowski and Nick Bearden

So we are five days in to this tour, and we’ve played some pretty gorgeous cities so far. We’ve done some impromptu concerts in the van, and had some amazing food all up the coast. We got to play some really fun shows with our friends The Taxi Project, and Josh… Wow that BBQ was amazing! We’ve met some awesome new fans, and taken lots of pics at shows (which are on my facebook page). We’re heading up to Portland, Seattle and Spokane next. I’ve never been to any of those cities so it shall be an adventure for all of us. Alright, I’m off to sleep in my hotel bed. Hopefully I’ll be dreaming about being Hit Girl from Kick Ass cuz that movie rocks my world and I just saw it again! Batman is still my favorite Super Hero, but I got to say that Hit Girl is a close runner up. Nighty Night.

Oh my goodness… I cannot believe that it’s that time again. I’m packing my bags and going shoe shopping for my first radio tour!! We’re going to be playing so many places that I’ve never been to before. We’re going to San Francisco, Portland, Seattle, Spokane (home of the amazing Tyrone Wells), Salt Lake City, Bozeman, Denver (Shout out to Emily Jaye and Sara Slaton), Albuquerque and more dates are still being added. We cannot wait to be back on the road playing shows every night. I know we’re gonna have some crazy adventures and meet some great new people. We really hope to see you at a show soon! We’ll be playing some new songs, and we even hired a Musical Director to get us ready for this tour, so please come out and tell all your friends to come to the show near you!

Wow… I am on cloud nine. I feel like I got my first kiss last night. There was so much love and support at The Roxy and I cannot tell you how much I appreciate all of you for coming and being a part of a show that I will always remember. Sometimes, when you go after your dreams, you doubt yourself. You wonder if you’re doing the right thing, if it’s gonna work out in the end… and last night let me know that I am doing exactly what I’m supposed to be doing with my life. Seeing all your beautiful faces singing my songs with me seriously made me want to tear up. I love you all and I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for supporting me, my band and my music. I could not do this without you.

This is going to be my only LA show for 6 whole months! We’re going to radio next month so I’m gonna be on the road a lot this year, which I am SO excited about! We’re taking “Melt Into You” to radio later this month! The only down side is I won’t be able to play in LA as often as I used to. I hope you can make it to this one since it’s going to be my only So Cal show in SO long. The show is all ages, and I’ll be playing with Frentik and Petree. We’ll be playing some new songs from My Personal Sky The Deluxe Edition, and I can’t wait for you to hear them! Please come out and show your support. This is my first headliner at The Roxy so bring all your friends, fill up your car and have a glorious Sunday night with me and my amazing/hilarious/wonderful band. The show is all ages, doors open at 7:30 pm and we will be playing at 8:30. We can’t wait to see you! Presale tickets are available @http://www.ticketmaster.com/venue/73780&?brand=roxy

Wow… I can’t believe how fast 30 days has gone by. We started out in Los Angeles, and made our way through our first Midwest tour. We had so many crazy times on this tour, and I can’t wait to be on the road again in May. Let’s see, on tour I’ve learned that I don’t do well with ice. I have terrible coordination on dry land …but I have the coordination of a very very drunk person on ice. I fell multiple times, but never on my face so it’s all good! David (my violinist) ate shit getting out of the van once, and Mike (my drummer) fell really hard in front of a hotel… which was hilarious… Wish we could have gotten those on the flip cam. That would have been amazing. My iPhone caught on FIRE for no reason, literally no one knows how that happened, and David’s laptop caught on fire as well, so that was pretty interesting. We played some really amazing shows. I got to play at The Hard Rock Cafe in Nashville with my dear friend James Slater. We wrote “Beautiful Day,” “Every Heart” and “Mama” together and he is just amazing. He opened the show and I cried not once, but twice during his set. His songwriting is brilliant and his lyrics just kill me. He’s so inspiring and it was SO nice to see him. I should be out in Nashville sometime in April to write with him so we’ll have more Haze/Slater songs very soon! We also got to play at SXSW in Austin where we shared a one bedroom apartment with Frank and Derrel. They are an LA based band, and one of the members is Brandy Cyrus (Miley Cyrus’ Sister) so that was interesting. We had 10 people sharing a one bedroom apartment with one bathroom. Cold showers are something I definitely got used to on this tour. We saw a band at SXSW called Neon Trees and they were amazing. Everyone must check them out. That was one of the best rock shows I’ve ever seen, and I got to meet some of the guys from the band and they were so nice. They are gonna be HUGE one day so check them out. I’m really sad that the tour is over, I miss my band and Svenn (Our touring van…it started out as The Shine Van and it’s name is now Svenn). Thank you to everyone who came out to our shows and supported us. We hope to see you very very soon! We’ll be back when the weather is a little bit nicer… I promise :)

So I sit here in my workout clothes, trying to do anything but cardio, so I think I’ll burn some calories by blogging :) The Jack’s Mannequin show was so amazing. They are just brilliant and their show made me dance all night. They didn’t play my favorite song “Dark Blue,” but I guess I’ll forgive them because well… they’re awesome. I got to meet all of the guys and they’re all so nice and funny. You can see pics on my facebook page so check it out! I hope I get to play more shows with them in the future… But on another note, now when you sign up for my newsletter, we will send you a free exclusive track that only people on my mailing list get so sign up if you’re not already on there. Ok… I guess it’s time for me to put on my Skechers and go to the gym.
