Sam Bradley rocks out the Hotel Cafe

After nearly five weeks Sam Bradley finished his musical residency at the Hotel Cafe, where he and his band played for a 45 minute set. When this announcement was made people traveled far and wide to come here him play.

I admit I was leery about seeing Sam Bradley with his new band but as usual Sam swept away all fears that may have lingered. Due to me being a complete lazy ass I didn't buy my ticket in a timely manner (ok I was at Kings of Leon on Monday and didnt think I could do back to back shows but then I remembered I'm Tammy! I can do anything!).

Normally getting into a sold out show at Hotel Cafe, isn't so scary but when they tell you @ 5pm you have a slim chance of getting in you FREAK OUT! And trust me when I say I was freakin'! Half way through Guy Sebastion's set they let a few of us in. The pressure was off, I ran to my table bought a beer and waited for Sam.

And thank goodness I went last night because it was hands down his best performance I've seen and others around felt the same way. I was fortunate to meet new fan @purplebrina17 for her first Sam show and she too was blown away.

It took us a while to catch our breath afterwards but energy Sam oozed out on stage seemed to follow me home. I was happy and energized and I didnt want it to end. If you haven't seen Sam yet I promise you he will NOT dissappoint you.

Because I'm the ultimate picture whore I had to get a picture with the band!

'Whiskey'

Sunday Night with 100Monkeys & The Absolute

This blog is a little backwards today. This blogger had a 100Monkey weekend, this adventure was shared with blogging partner Wearingwords (she attended Saturday's show, those pictures will be shared at a later date) and 100Monkey fans from my 24K days. But we're starting with Sunday's show at Hollywood's Roxy Theatre on the Sunset strip!
Enjoy!

The Absolute! Wait you're not familiar with the Absolute? How could this be? They're only one of LA best hidden treasures! You want know real rock n roll check out the Absolute on myspace and attend one of their shows I promise you won't regret it.

Wintrop feeling the music....
Full on jam session.....prepare yourself cause its Fuckstastic!

I've been attending 100Monkey shows almost a full year and I have to say Ben Graupner has grown into this amazing musician that makes me want to cry. His voice gets better and better and I can't wait to see what the future holds for this band.

Graupner showing us his drumming skills.....HOT!!

I LOVE this picture of Ben Johnson, sorry the guy is intense and he shows that in his music.

Another intense moment with Johnson while he played guitar.....HOT!

I love when Johnson sings, between him and Graupner I'm a musical mental mess by the time the show ends.

I love Jerad's smile but my camera is super slow and bare got this shot.

Oh did you think I was going to end this blog without a little video from Sunday night's show? Here is Mr. Ben Johnson singing my favorite song '.38 Special'....its orgasmic!

Two Nights with Marcus Foster

Meet Marcus Foster

All my Marcus Foster alerts are about Marcus comments regarding his best friend. Screw the friend its all about Marcus (disclaimer: I think his FRIEND is adorable but this is about Marcus)!! Hey audience attendees did you not enjoy the deliciousness that is Marcus Foster? Did they even pay attention to the way that man plays a guitar? WTF people get your head out of the sand and pay attention, I have a story about a man name Marcus, and he hails from London. He finally made a trek to the United States and played at the Hotel Café in Los Angeles for the first time this past Friday & Saturday evening. And let me tell you it was an experience I will never forget.

Ami has been waiting for Marcus to come to the Los Angeles for awhile. All through the show she was completely giddy and singing along. We both were in awe by the time we got in line to speak with him. We aked who he'd like to do a duet with but he had so many names he couldn't choose. He did say he would love to work with Tom Waits since he's his biggest influence but would be too nervous to talk. Yah Marcus we know the feeling.

I thought this picture was so cute I had to include it. He's just seems like one of those guys you would love to have a beer with and joke around.

Like most people I was unfamiliar with Marcus Foster’s music I knew he was one of the co-writers for Twilight’s Let Me Sign but other than that nothing. And instead of going to his myspace page to familiarize myself I decided to wait to see him live when he played at the Hotel Café here in Los Angeles. Still on my high from Bobby Long Wednesday & Thursday night I was excited to see this guy everyone from Larrami to the ladies from the Land of Dreamers was raving out.
How do I describe Marcus Foster?.....He is James Dean and Bob Dylan with a Chris Martin twist all wrapped into one. If you loved Rob Pattinson and his style of music on the Twilight soundtrack then you NEED TO LISTEN TO MARCUS FOSTER. After one song I realized Marcus is who RPattz patterns himself after.
From the moment he walked on stage Marcus owned it, he had the audience captivated. I loved his charismatic antics on stages. In between songs he kept the crowd with witty banter but as he perform you were entranced with his words. I have to say most of the time I was just staring at his hands as he played the guitar and on Saturday night he played the piano for his Tom Waits cover. Yeah my mouth just about fell open at that point.
I'm sorry have we met? I'm Tammy and I'm a picture whore. Of course I got another picture with Marcus. I wanted to go home have a beer and pretend I could play the guitar just like him but we all know I can barely play a chord. This picture will keep me tide over until I see him next time. By the time the ladies from Twilight Sisterhood left we knew we were fans (sadly this fan lost her new Marcus Foster CD due to her drunken ways after the concert! URGH!).

Night One


Night Two

Kellan Lutz @ Fashion Show

Kellan Lutz Online posted pictures of New Moon Hottie Kellan Lutz leaving the Jared Gold fashion show in Hollywood. It also looks as if Kellan was carrying a goodie bag.
Enjoy!

DAYUM!!!!

Peter Facinelli signing @ Affliction

I hope you enjoyed the updates but here's the whole story....or the best I can remember it. I arrived at 12 pm and found primo parking and my place in line. I was about 15th (before the friends started to arrive). The girls in front of me also attended the Rob Hollywood blvd walk of shame.

At 4 Peter arrives then 10 mins later he pops out and greets the fans who were waiting for him. The line wrapped around around the block, the residents and Ed Hardy probably weren't too happy with us but we were good kids, I swear!!
Once Peter went back inside they sent in 6 at a time. The employees takes your picture with Peter, he signs on of his head shot and he was also streamlining on his sight. So I took a few pics of Peter with random fan (my TS sisters were further back).
More Peter.....HOTNESS!! Now when were in line his people said Peter was providing headshots for everyone. He might not sign additional items and pictures were iffy. As you can see Peter said screw that let's have fun.

So it was my turn, I was telling someone how I use to try to dress like Jennie Garth but sorry....it just didnt work for many, MANY reason. They said you HAVE TO TELL PETER THAT. So I'm telling him at 13 I tried to have the Jennie Garth look but it didn't work and my mom and I got tons of fights because the red lip stick was not working. He laughed and said that's cool.
Me & Peter.....Peter & I.....Jennie, you're one LUCKY GIRL!!
Now remember I posted about the Peter fan Felicia....well when she heard he was only signing his head shots, she was a little dissappointed but was still happy to meet him. Well Peter saw the sign she made and signed almost every picture she put up. When she came out she was trembling. Felicia was on cloud 9.

One of my favorite moments of the day was when I heard Felicia tell her one of the other fans not to say Taylor's name, it makes her blush and giddy. So through out the day I would say Taylor Lautner and she'd throw me a look. LOL basically we all had fun in line today.

A special thanks to Affliction Clothing store and Ed Hardy (who had to deal with us outside their doors).

Kellan Lutz looking good without even trying!

Kellan Lutz was spotted at My House (the night club and not my apartment! even though this girl can wish!) in Hollywood. Even though Hollywood is known for beautiful perfection Kellan displayed 'sexy scruffy' with cool confidence that reminiscent of Brad Pitt.

Thanks JUST JARED!!

Saturday night with 100Monkeys

On Saturday night the 100Monkeys (minus Jackson Rathbone) played at Crane's Tavern, it was a shorter set than at the 24K Lounge. But they did play Gus (fairly new song), Ugly Girl, Smoke, and a new song which I believe is called Wicked Girl. This was one of my favorite perfomance from the 100Monkeys, the vibe of the night was just pure fun and that's what they did. Ben J performed Smoke and seemed to have a good time the whole night.

Its official....I'm a die hard 100Monkey fan!

Until the next show!
