Room 94 announce new 2013 tours.

London based band, Room 94, recently treated fans to news of their first UK tour of 2013, followed by yet another announcement of their own headline tour just a month after their first.

This year is already showing promising things for Room 94, a band of 3 brothers, Dean, Kieran and Sean Lemon, joined by good friend Kit Tanton. 2012 saw them head out on two UK headline tours, a long with a support slot on Twenty Twenty's UK tour last May. 

Directions dye review.

After having my blonde bits added I decided to just keep the bits that the hairdresser did, and then I added colour to my hair.
I decided on using Directions dye in Carnation Pink, on the samples in the shop it was a really bright pink, so I toned it down with conditioner to make it more of a pastel pink.... but it faded really really quickly..and within 4 days it had pretty much faded to a stained blonde.
This led me to dye it again but without using the conditioner, and it came out a lot brighter, not quite the pastel shade I originally wanted but I liked it anyway.

Blonde Dye.

So I got my hair dyed. It was supposed to be dip-dyed, or Ombre, but my hairdresser ended up just dip dyeing the main under-layers. Therefore you just see flashes of the blonde and small tips.
Even though it wasn't quite what I was thinking, I really like it, especially because I have curly hair so it all mixes in. However I think I might get some bleach and do the tips of the other layers and blend it up a little more... I'm not sure yet....

New Look...

So we've completely redesigned the layout, design, etc, there are still some edits yet to come, and now we have a Facebook page =D http://www.facebook.com/xellellex ..
We feel MUCH better about this design, and therefore from this day forward posting shall commence, we're keeping the logo for now though, and have no plans to change it, But!! we are working on the website www.ellelle.co.uk

A bit more of an update as well - We're arranging a photoshoot soon, and a new 'About us' page will appear, we also have lots more gigs and interviews planned for the rest of the year so just keep an eye out, if you haven't already, subscribe to our YouTube page as well,  http://www.youtube.com/xellellex
Lastly, if anyone ever has any requests for interviews, or wishes to tell us about some local/unknown bands that people should know about just message us on twitter or on the facebook page.

Twenty Twenty tour

Twenty Twenty were recently touring around the UK with support bands Room 94 and Future Proof, as well as a local support band for each venue.
Kim bought tickets for Twenty Twenty as soon as they came out, I mean literally, we got tickets 3 and 4. The tickets were for the 4th May at Rock City in Nottingham. We arrived a little bit early because of my interview with FutureProof. I've never been to Rock City before but it is quite a nice venue, the floors are ridiculously sticky and at one point when I was jumping to Twenty Twenty my shoe stayed stuck to the floor =P.
By the time me and Kim got into the venue The Hush had already began their set, they were really good, I had listened to one of their songs the day before, after I found out that they were the local support.
Soon after, FutureProof began to set up. Yes of course your set begins at 8 boys!... Anyway, pretty much as soon as they started I had to tell Max (the guy on TwentyTwenty's merch stand) about me having an interview. Shortly after, their tour manager came down and we went to do the interview with Twenty Twenty .

The Body Shop Chocomania Review

(Old upload)

I paid a visit to The Body Shop whilst I was in town recently (what a surprise) and I went straight to smell the Chocomania Body Butter, it smells absolutely lush, but I wasn't going to buy it because it was the day of The Wanted's concert in Nottingham. We spent the rest of the time deciding on a present for my best friends mother, after a little while of indecisiveness she chose the Wild Rose Handy Manicure Set Gift Tin -£12- and if you're interested it smells amazing as well.My friend lathered on the Chocomania Body Butter in the shop and then wanted to eat her skin.... I do not suggest this.
Anyway, we used my Love Your Body card and received 20% off so I couldn't gain a stamp, but then to take it over £10 I decided to buy the Chocomania body butter at it's introductory price of £9.

The Wanted - The Code - Opening date.

(Old upload)

The 15th February 2012 saw The Wanted begin their tour The Code at the Capital FM Nottingham Arena. Leah, Edina, Kimmeeh and myself got to Nottingham at 11 for pre-concert shopping. We made our way to Capital FM Arena so I could show them where it is, then we saw a massive group of people collecting around the back. Dedicated? Yes. Crazy? Most Definitely!
After which we shopped for a while and arrived back at Capital FM Arena around 3, (It was already absolutely freezing) and stood there until 3:30, the two girls who stood near us were really nice. Then we went and had a McDonalds, we didn't want to starve as well as freeze.

Been a tad MIA...

Soo.. my posts have really been lacking in the last month, but... it's all because I have had lots of revision, exams and art exhibitions to keep me busy, as well as the other people who would possibly post...

However, I have now finished ze exams, and therefore... PROMISE.. to do regular posts...
I have masses of posts sitting and waiting as drafts so I think I may just put them all up to begin with, so I can start a new on the draft front, even though some of them are months old I actually liked them and it was a shame I never posted them...
Anyway..
I'm Back =].. xx

Oh and we also had some issues with the blog that kept me in stressful mode for a few hours but I got it sorted out all by myself =D .. clever geek me.
