Summary: Kurt Hummel, Blaine Anderson, Rachel Berry, Nick Duvall, Jeff Sterling, and Elliott Gilbert make up Pamela Lansbury, a rock/pop band that hit it big after their first single was featured on popular tv-show Sing. A little over two years later the band is still dealing with the pressures of fame, their differing dreams, their fans, "shippers", and finding love.

Author's note: Naturally I tried to post this yesterday but this site was down but this chapter was on my tumblr and AO3 where things were working. Not much else to say so enjoy. Next chapter coming soon.


Chapter Two


A Month Later

Arms wrapped around Kurt and he almost toppled over from the weight of Jeff who was trying to get a hold of Kurt's phone.

"Blaine!" Kurt yelled.

Blaine was turned away from them headphones placed firmly over his ears and staring at his keyboard.

"Blaine!"

Kurt tried to wiggle out of Jeff's grasp, but it only seemed to make Jeff try to hold him tighter all while trying to reach for Kurt's phone which Kurt thought he was going to drop at any moment.

"Blaine!" Kurt tried again.

It was useless. Blaine was deep in song writing mode and while it was great that he might be composing their next single Kurt couldn't help but feel frustrated that his best friend wasn't helping him.

"Boyfriend is busy, Kurt," Jeff said, "just give me your phone."

"First off not my boyfriend and second, no," Kurt said and threw his phone across the room to the couch where it bounced. Jeff let him go, but Kurt turned quickly and tackled him towards the loveseat.

They fell over it from the back and Kurt tried his hardest to keep them from falling to the ground, but failed. His elbow hit the leg of the coffee table hard and Jeff who had fallen under him, gasped. It was at this moment that Blaine turned to look at them.

"What?" he asked, "what are you guys even doing?"

He stood up and headed their way and moved the coffee table to help them up one at a time. Kurt who was up first moved around him and grabbed his phone before Jeff could even think of moving to get it.

"Ha," Kurt said and then unlocked the phone and promptly erased the picture of him sleeping that Jeff had been trying to tweet.

David had let up on the cut off from their social media as long as they stuck to some guidelines that included not answering anything tweeted at them, not mentioning Rachel at all, and generally not commenting on anything outside of normal day to day things.

So, they had started out slow, and David had suggested that they might even want to try and hint that they were working on new songs or on the tour which was going to be announced in a few days.

Naturally, Jeff decided it meant making sure that the fans knew they were all alive and well by posting awkward pictures of each of them.

"Now that's over," Blaine said, patting a pouting Jeff on the shoulder, "come listen to this."

Kurt followed Blaine over to the keyboard and sat down next to him on the long bench.

"I figured this could be one of the slower songs," Blaine said and pushed a notebook towards him.

Kurt took a glance at the lyrics while Blaine began to play the melody and then Blaine began to sing and Kurt joined him on the second verse. It was a little bit sad and not completely in their usual style but Kurt loved it.

"It's beautiful," he whispered after the last note was played.

"Yeah?" Blaine asked, turning his head to look at him and putting him inches away from Kurt's face.

Kurt hummed and then turned away from him quickly.

Blaine cleared his throat. "Anyway, that's the only thing I've gotten done this week. I, um, Elliott and I rearranged a couple of the old songs too. We don't want to just get rid of them because of Rachel and it's not like she wrote them or anything."

Kurt leaned his head against Blaine's. "She would have stolen this song right from under us. Sometimes I'm glad she left the band."

From behind them Jeff made a cheering noise and Kurt turned fast. Jeff had his phone in his hands raised towards them and Kurt knew that he had probably taken a picture of them and already put it on twitter.

"Thank you, Jeff," he said.

"What?" Blaine asked.

"Don't check your twitter for a few hours," Kurt said and got up.

"I, um, I think I'll see you guys later," Jeff said and without another word ran for the door.

Kurt rolled his eyes and sat down again. Blaine watched him and laughed. Kurt couldn't help but join in.


JeffSterling: caught KurtEHummel and BlaineAnderson working on a song #PLishardatwork [image link]

HummelAnderson: Omg, guys, that Klaine picture is so cute.

Klaine5Eva: I'm dead. This is the first Klaine picture in months. Jeff is the best.

Singfan: a new song? Does that mean they really are working on a new album? And oh, imagine if Sing covers it.

Niffismyotp: If only we got pictures of Niff like this.


Wes stared at his phone, willing it to ring, but it didn't. So, he paced if only so that he was moving and doing something.

"Not today," he muttered, "this is not the type of thing we need today."

He heard someone approaching him and he turned, hoping for the best but it was only David.

"Hey," David said, "Santana said they're all setting up. Any of them here?"

"Elliott," Wes said, "he's getting hair and makeup. It's the other four we're waiting on."

David groaned. "All four? Were they out last night?"

Wes shrugged his shoulders. "You're asking me, Mr. Pr?"

"Right," David said, "the whole month off thing is kind of throwing me. Lifting that ban was probably the worst thing we could do two days before doing this announcement video."

His phone vibrated in his hand and Wes unlocked it at once.

"Oh, it's Blaine," Wes said, "he and Nick are headed our way."

David who had pulled out his own phone nodded and walked towards the arm chairs, dropping into one. Wes followed after him.

"Is there anything?"

David was shaking his head. At least there was one thing to be thankful for. Even if any of the band had decided to go out or do something the night before – and Wes had to face it, they probably had – it was a good sign to know that at least they hadn't gone and done something crazy to be reported on.

"And there's something," David said, "very small. Someone tweeted that they saw Kurt last night at a club. There's a few more mentions. I can't believe my assistant didn't tell me about this."

"Any pictures?" Wes asked.

David shook his head but Wes could tell that he was still searching. Wes for his part was texting Blaine who was rounding up Nick and Jeff and would be there momentarily.

Wes texted him asking about Kurt and frowned when Blaine texted back:

Note sure about Kurt. I tried calling earlier but no answer and he's not home. I stopped by there earlier.

"Where the hell is Kurt," Wes muttered, "he cannot decide today to be irresponsible."

"Oh," David said.

"Oh what?"

"Couple of grainy pictures," David said, "nothing that needs addressing but it's really clearly Kurt in them."

Wes took the phone from David only to find three pictures. One was of Kurt dancing in a crowd of bodies. The next Kurt stepping out of the club. The third picture was of Kurt hanging off of a slightly taller man. They were pressed together and both looked happily drunk.

"So, he's probably in random stranger's bed," Wes said, "wonderful."

He called Kurt's phone but got no answer and then tried again and again until Kurt finally answered.

"Hello?"

"Kurt," Wes said, "where the hell are you? You have to get here like an hour ago."

He heard Kurt curse, someone laugh and then Kurt was on the phone again.

"Wes, I'm so sorry. So, sorry. I'm actually close by. I'm going straight there – Shut it, you! – Sorry. I'm coming. Are the others there?"

"On their way," Wes repeated, "just hurry."

After hanging up, Wes groaned and turned to David. "Did you imagine that we'd be doing this? That our life would be dealing with the management of a band?"

"I didn't, no," David said, "I mean, for me it's not just Pamela Lansbury so I sort of expected it. I didn't think it would be your thing though. Although, I guess you've been doing this for years. You managed us Warblers well enough."

Wes laughed. Those had been the good days. He almost missed them.


MerDarling: OMG. I just saw Kurt Hummel from Pamela Lansbury. #celebrityspotting

Klainefan: MerDarling What? Where? You are so lucky! Is he with anyone?

MerDarling: Klainefan I don't think so? Seems to just be here for drinks and dancing.

MerDarling: He's leaving now with some guy. He was dancing with him earlier. Maybe a friend?

RitaAnn: Okay, so MerDarling and I were out at HK Lounge and we saw Kurt from PL. Only managed to snap these pictures.

Klainefan: RitaAnn Omg, what does this mean? That better just be a friend. Omg.


"Stop laughing," Kurt hissed. He threw on his wrinkled clothes from the day before and swept his hair from his forehead.

On the bed a few feet away from where he was trying to making himself resemble being put together and like he wasn't going to be taking the walk of shame to the studio where they'd be filming the announcement video and then having lots of press. It was going to be a long day.

"I shouldn't have gone out last night," he muttered, "and I definitely shouldn't have let you buy me a drink. This is all your fault."

His one night stand smirked at him. "Is that your way of saying you regret last night?"

He was a handsome man, long and lanky and perfectly lean. His rumpled hair made him look even better than he had the night before and Kurt couldn't help but admire his green eyes. He really had picked up a good one the night before. There was no regretting that. Kurt buttoned up his shirt but stopped and stared at him. No, he really didn't regret it. He just regretted forgetting about the important morning that he was about to face.

"No, last night was good," he said, "I just have important places to be. Thank you, um –"

He laughed. "Sebastian," he said, "my name's Sebastian. Wow, you were drunk last night!"

Kurt hadn't been too drunk. He didn't even really have much of a hang over which told him that Kurt had managed to get a lot of water in between drinks and that he must not have drunk as much as Sebastian had clearly expected that he had. The thing about being in the public eye was that it left Kurt feeling like he could lose control and to truly and properly get drunk out in public meant a very possible scandal.

"Right," Kurt said, "thank you, Sebastian. Now, I'm just going to go."

"Sure," Sebastian said with a laugh, "good luck with your important things."

Kurt just shook his head and kept walking. He made it outside in a few minutes and managed to flag down a cab because the least amount of exposure the better.

When he arrived, he paid and tipped the cab driver well and then rushed inside. He ran straight into Nick.

"I heard someone had a fun night," Nick said as way of hello.

Kurt rolled his eyes. "As if you haven't had nights like mine."

Nick grinned and laughed and then led him towards the area that had been set aside for their stylists to do their hair, put some make up on them, and dress them.

Blaine, Jeff, and Elliott were already there but it looked like only Elliott was ready to go and he wiggled his eyebrows at him. Kurt just groaned.

"Well, you look like you had a good night," Blaine said when he dropped onto the chair next to him, "when you said you were going out, I didn't think it meant for a one-night stand."

Cassie who did their hair didn't say anything as she went about brushing Kurt's hair and Kurt was glad that at least a few hours ago he and Sebastian had managed to get into his shower for a quick clean up because it meant his hair was clean.

"Wasn't planning on it," Kurt said, "things happen. You know how it is."

Blaine hummed and got up to walk over to the rack of clothes that had been pulled out for them just in case and Kurt was for once glad that Wes had them do that every time even if usually he didn't need anything aside from his own wardrobe. It was mostly for the benefit of Nick and Jeff who were always running late or just had no idea what fashion meant.

Kurt let out a breath and then closed his eyes when hairspray was added to his hair to help keep the coif up. He was ready to go fifteen minutes later after changing into white skinny jeans, a button up, and a scarf that did a good job of hiding the hickey Sebastian had left on the left side of his neck.

"You guys are giving me premature grey hair," Wes said, "are you all ready at last?"

Santana came up behind him and Kurt narrowly avoided a slap on the ass from her.

"Through some miracle none of you were really late," she said, "although some of us should schedule appointments to get it on for nights when work isn't happening in the morning."

Kurt felt her glare.

"Though I guess getting any for Hummel is always a bit of a surprise so we'll let that go. Must have been something special."

"Santana!" Wes hissed.

"That's uncalled for, Santana," Blaine said, "and rude."

"And unprofessional," Elliott added.

Kurt just shrugged it off. He had long given up on taking anything Santana said to heart.

"Alright," Wes said, "enough of that. Seriously, Santana, today has been a long enough morning."

He turned back towards them. "I hope all of you read what David drafted for you but the prompter will be there. Just stick to that and it will be quick and painless."

Kurt had managed to get a glimpse at the script that David had written for them but he hadn't tried to memorize it or anything.

"But it's just like a starting point, right," Jeff said.

Wes shot him a glare.

"Just read the words on the screen," David said.

Kurt tuned them out as they continued to coach them, Santana adding her two cents in every few minutes and then they were steered towards the couch where the video was going to be filmed.


It's been a long month for Pamela Lansbury fans. The band from NYC had radio silence in the last month since the departure of Rachel Berry for the Great White Way. It has left everyone wondering what the band's next move might be. Today we got an answer.

In a ten minute video posted to the band's website and YouTube channel this afternoon, confirmation that Pamela Lansbury would truly continue on was made by way of announcing the band's second Tour. [The video is below]

It seems that the five members of Pamela Lansbury have taken things in stride. They seemed happy and excited for the tour.

"We're very excited to do this tour," Nick Duvall said, "it's going to be a lot bigger than the last and I think a lot more fun for us too so we're looking forward to get out there."

Jeff Sterling added, "We've been working like crazy this past month to really put together something everyone will enjoy. And of course Blaine and Elliott have outdone themselves with a few new songs."

"But let's not give everything away," Elliott Gilbert added in.

They are not trying to hide their new songs, though. Earlier in the week Jeff Sterling posted a picture of Kurt Hummel and Blaine Anderson who looked cozy while they worked on new music.

One thing that they did not address was their former member Rachel Berry and so whatever really happened with that will continue to be a mystery. However, the boys did not seem to be affected by it. They seemed to be sharing a good laugh and there were many moments of mischief throughout the video which is to be expected from these boys and practically a staple for any video featuring two or more of them.

We are looking forward to the new music to come and everything to come out of these tours.

Some of the tour dates are available on their website and tickets go on sale this Wednesday! (PL manager Wes Montgomery tweeted that more dates would be added so if there isn't a show near you there still might be!) A pre-sale code will be available for American Express Card users on Tuesday. And, we hear that there will be meet and greet packages available as well.

So who's looking forward to this? Who will be loitering ticketmaster to try and get tickets as soon as they go on sale? Please comment below and share your excitement.


NiffKlainer: Did you guys see Niff sitting together in the video? Ugh, I'm dead.

HummelAnderson: Why don't I have an Amex?

Klaine5Eva: OMG. Guys, I bjkadlvnl kz, a tour! They're going on tour! I can't. I don't even know ugh.

HummelAnderson: I know! This is crazy. I HAVE to get tickets. There is no way I won't go to this.

KurtandRach: It won't be the same without Rachel.

Klaine5Eva: okay, but is it just me or do they look happier without Rachel?

PLBerry: Um, no they don't look "happier"

PLBerry: I wonder if they'll be going out of the U.S. on those unannounced tour dates.

NiffKlainer: I hope the M&G packages aren't super expensive.

Klainefan: I'm still flailing about new songs. #Klaineduet
