Halestorm Makes a Stop in Albany to Shake Hands and Kiss Babies
Which is better than stopping to kiss hands and shake babies. Also, they had planned to race go-karts, but the weather wouldn’t cooperate.
EVANESCENCE’S AMY LEE ON HALESTORM’S LZZY HALE: “SHE’S THE REAL DEAL”
“I love her voice, she has a beautiful voice,” Lee said. “I had heard their [Halestorm’s] music. I went to check her out live to see if it was the real deal and she’s the real deal. She has a voice like… power! She’s powerful.”

And by the way, you didn’t hear it from me, but getting used to seeing these two ladies side-by-side wouldn’t be out of line….
It’s been a great week for Halestorm and the band’s lead singer/guitarist Lzzy Hale. Their single “Love Bites (So Do I)” reached #1 on the Active Rock radio chart, marking the first ever female-fronted group to top the format’s airplay ranking. Plus, when Halestorm stopped in Nashville, Tennessee, while on the road with Godsmack and Staind, the band made a special trip to the Gibson USA factory for Lzzy to receive her very own Gibson Lzzy Hale Signature Explorer.
During her visit to Gibson USA on Thursday (May 10), Lzzy took time out of her busy day to chat about women in rock, her first Gibson and her brand-new signature guitar.

CARNIVAL OF MADNESS UPDATE!
Emails have started going out about this year’s Carnival of Madness tour, and while they still don’t mention specific bands, dates or locations (we’ll presumably get at least one of those things when the countdown on the website expires Wednesday morning), there’s one important piece of information contained in them: the sender.
The emails are coming courtesy of In De Goot Entertainment, a management firm that handles a few little bands you might have heard of like Shinedown, Theory of a Deadman and Chevelle. They also happen to manage both Halestorm and New Medicine.
The Carnival usually runs from mid-August to mid-September; that eliminates a few In De Goot bands because they’ve already announced other dates during that period. But guess who it doesn’t eliminate? Halestorm in particular has a gap in their schedule that seems almost like it was set aside specifically for this tour, and New Meds has only one listed — the New York State Fair on August 24th. Which might — MIGHT! — be a clue as to where the tour will be around that time.
Halestorm will be co-hosting LA Lloyd’s Rock 30 Countdown May 19-20! Check with your local station to find out what time to listen!
According to reports, London-based trio Zico Chain will be opening for the mighty Halestorm when the band heads back to the UK this September. Check ‘em out!
Halestorm-ally speaking:
- The Buzz (WHHZ-FM), Gainesville, FL — 55 spins
- WJJO (WJJO-FM), Madison, WI — 52 spins
- Q94.5 The Rock (KFRQ-FM), McAllen, TX — 47 spins
- 98 Rock (WYBB-FM), Charleston, SC — 47 spins
- Rock 106.1 (WFXH-FM), Savannah, GA — 46 spins
- Rock 94-1/2 (KHTQ-FM), Spokane, WA — 43 spins

- The Q (KLAQ-FM), El Paso, TX — 38 spins
- 98 Rock (WIYY-FM), Baltimore, MD — 37 spins
If your local station is on this list, call and tell ‘em to keep up the good work! If it’s not, then they’re underperforming. Either get on the horn and tell them to get their act together by playing “Love Bites (So Do I)” more, or move to Gainesville.
