My husband and I talk about Halestorm and how awesome they are all the time...our friends and family may go to a show just to get us to shut up already lol! That's okay tho because once they hear them live they'll be just as hooked as we became after Uproar 2 years ago :)

The reason (so I've heard) is that LA is not a hard rock type of market. The midwest and overseas is much more profitable. I was in a band similar to Halestorm and besides our local friends/fans no one else would show up to see our type of music. We had WAY more support in the midwest when on tour. The radio stations out here in LA don't play Halestorm. They play more indie-rock, but rarely modern rock/hard rock.
-BUT..I'm sooo glad they are coming to Hollywood. When I saw Lzzy/Joe in Orlando (when I was recording with my band) I told them they needed to stop ignoring us on the West Coast. So you all better get your friends/family to come out. The better the turn out, the better chance they will be back quickly, that's how it works!

Yeah no show here in Arizona. Ive posted on here and Facebook more than once asking what the hell we did on the west coast to get completely ignored. Its even more maddening to see Montana get multiple shows as well as North fucking Dakota. Very confused.

Seriously! They are playing several states two or even three times but NOTHING in one of the biggest and best states in the US? Stupid. It goes beyond that, its the whole western side of the US. Since Uproar 2010, they’ve played more dates in the city of Hamburg, Germany than they have in California, Nevada, Oregon, Arizona and Washington COMBINED! There must be a reason they ignore the west...

Could they be coming after they are over seas? We gotta get them to California!

I feel your pain. NOTHING even remotely close to SLC. And for the record, I don't even see an AZ date.
