Season 8 American Idol alum, Allison Iraheta has surfaced on twitter! In a new message to her fans, she apologizes for being MIA this past year, but promises great things in the new year.

For instance, she’s got a new band named Halo Circus and will be performing at The Troubadour in Los Angeles on January 26th.

Read her message below:

remember when i said i felt like doing something different? Troubadour. Los Angeles. January 26th 2013. My new band Halo Circus will be playing our first show, and giving people a taste of the new. We will be opening for @TeddyCampbell Tickets available at http://Troubadour.com :) ALL AGES, ONLY A FEW SEATS AVAILABLE! I’ve been very quiet over the past year, taking much needed time to re-group, find myself and re discover my voice. Thank you for being the greatest fans in the world. I’m going to need all of you this year to make this happen.. – Love, Allison

Welcome back, Allison! We look forward to some new music from the rocker girl!

    I don’t think it’s with people who were in other well known bands. I think she’s still working with the guitarist who was with her for her tour back when she came off Idol. I would bet it is some sort of rock music, but we’ll have to wait and see :)

    I heard some random stuff she did on YouTube that was unbelievable. I can’t wait for her new music. I’ve always been a fan of hers. Damn, the music biz is so tough, even for people with so much talent. I enjoyed Stefano’s new song, too. So many kids with talent. At least, with all of these talent competitions, they get a shot.

    Oh, best of luck to her! May all her experience have done her a world of good. I’m curious to hear what comes next.

    Late in commenting, but I wish Allison all the best.  I think it is a good sign that she took time off, rather than flailing around.  I also love Allison’s very unique voice, but I didn’t think her first album was very good.  It didn’t play to the strengths of her voice.  And her performances sometimes came across as frenetic.  Hopefully, she’s got all the kinks worked out.
