5SOS SLFL London and Brighton

Hello everyone,
I cannot believe the time has come for me and my pals to hit the road for the Aussies all over again. The last few days have been so incredible and I wanted to document it here so I can remember it. If you don't like 5SOS then please just stop reading because things are about to get EMO, real emo.
We (me, Emmy, Amy and Emma) got to our super cute apartment in London on Thursday, plugged in a laptop and started searching for tickets. It didn't take long for us to snap up some in a block on Calum's side, given we are being Michael AF for the rest of tour. We played a 5SOS version of heads up and C.A.H (Karen Clifford's ham and all that jazz) before stumbling to the venue.

5SOS Wembley Weekend


Hello Everyone,
It's been a week since 5SOS' Wembley shows came to an end, and after a week of post concert sadness and heartbreak over the UK tour finishing, I thought now would be the best time to write a post reflecting on what was one of the best weekends ever!
We (Me, Emmy and Amy) got to London for around 10 am and met with Emma before checking into our hostel, which we've renamed hosthell given the experiences we had (Emmy's wine bottle breaking in her suitcase, the air conditioning leaking, the lack of windows and air as well as a broken bed). After that we headed to try and meet 5SOS, and technically we did get 4/4. Then we headed for Wembley and missed Hey Violet's acoustic which made me very sad, but we did manage to join the meet and greet queue and get a cute AF Charlie's Casey's Angels photo.

Once Upon a Time I Met Halsey

One thing you're going to learn about me if I manage to keep this whole blogging thing up, is that I heart music. Just like every person on the planet, I have songs I could listen to 600 times in a row and not hate, musicians I would kill to see live and musicians I would love to meet.

For over a year now I've been obsessing over an American musician called Halsey, an anagram of her real name Ashley (Frangipane). I'm going to be honest and say that I did come across Halsey because of her friendship with Ashton from 5SOS, but nonetheless she's grown to become one of my favourite rising music stars, and her music is the complete opposite to 5SOS.

Just over a year ago she released Ghost, which I played on the way to uni and knew all the words to by the time I got there. Then came her Room 93 EP which features tracks I'm still obsessing over, especially 'Trouble' and 'Empty Gold.' The EP was only released in America, but Halsey encouraged anyone who is a fan to download the EP in any way (illegally) so that they could obtain the music. When Halsey gets signed to a UK label I will be putting in the money to purchase any music she releases, and I cannot wait for the day I get to see her
perform live (if only she could've supported The Kooks here).
