Holly Miranda

I’ve been a fan of Holly Miranda for maybe a year, and I just want to put this email that came through yesterday.  You just have to find her and love her for yourself.  (It’s funny cuz she’s touring with some of my faves The XX, Tegan & Sara)

============ >>  email from Holly:
Hello,
I’m am writing to you from lovely California. I have been here since finishing my last tour of 2009 with The XX and The Friendly Fires on the West Coast in early December.
Being as it is two days before New Years Eve, I have been reflecting on the year that has past. I cannot begin to say how grateful I am to everyone who has come out to support Timmy and I on the road. To those of you who have given us warm, home cooked meals; a cozy bed to sleep in or visited me at the merch table and kept me company. We could not have done it with out you.
From the Midwest tour with AA Bondy, the East Coast with The Antlers, Europe with The XX, and then again with The XX and The Friendly Fires on the West Coast. We have been busy, but there has been no shortage of good music and amazing people surrounding us at all times.
I am happy to announce that it looks like the coming year will be more of the same…
First I am so excited to say that we will be opening for Vampire Weekend in New York on January 18th at Webster Hall!
Secondly, beginning in February, we will be touring across the continental United States with Tegan & Sara!!! The tour dates are below, PLEASE GET YOUR TICKETS NOW!
Last, but not least, I’m happy to announce that my full-length album The Magician’s Private Library will be out on XL Recordings February 23rd!  Cheers! Here’s to 2010!

p.s. a few pictures of Timmy and I from the last few months on the road.

Erin Miley

I just downloaded Erin’s EP from thesixtyone.com and was listening on my way back from Safeway… it’s all grey and nobody around – post apocalyptic mood.
