Gentlemen in the Studio with Cats

We are SO pumped about our new recordings.. Everything is progressing quite nicely. It's been such a treat to give these songs the FULL studio treatment. (It's about time really). For the last month we've pooled all our creative energy together and have come up with something truly wonderful I am proud to say.

People have asked us, 'What's it like in the studio?' Well, a typical day in the studio could run about 10 hours or more. It's in these long sessions that a good chunk of the tracking gets done. Many times I find myself sipping on some freshly brewed java beans (aka coffee) to keep me moving. Andrew has said that it helps my fingers dance across the keyboards. I tend to agree.

When you sit in a room with four other people things can sometimes get... congested. It's a fun little experiment to see who will crack first and go nutty at some point!? One time Alex got so claustrophobic down in the studio he had to go run laps around the block for an hour! Haha. But in full seriousness we are HONOR SOCIETY so we keep our cool. Duh.

Another feature of our studio experience has been the cat factor. Chris Theis, our producer we are working with, has two cats that roam around the studio at any given point. You might by chance get up for a minute to get a drink and come back only to find your seat stolen by a C-A-T!

ps No cats were harmed during the making of this EP. Duh.

We are HONOR SOCIETY

EP Release

For the past month we have been in the studio (which has seriously screwed up my tan) putting in a lot of love into our new recordings and we are all stoked with how they are progressing. We just finished tracking See U In The Dark and it sounds... well I guess we have to keep that a secret for now.

With all the progress we have made, we wanted to announce our EP release date...

June 7th @ the Knitting Factory (Main Stage).

More details will be announced as it gets closer to the date AND we are going to have several contests, giving you the chance to win copies of the EP before the 7th.

omg.
aight. those are our studio updates.

it is a beautiful sunny day... everyone get out and enjoy it.

Love in this Club

Hey, so we're here at the recording studio and day dreaming of you, duh. We've been working so hard on all three songs because we want to blow your minds. I think we're close.

But seriously when these three songs come out its gonna be boss. If you liked or loved HONOR SOCIETY before you're about to be in danger of obsession, good thing its almost summer. We'll be releasing our home addresses soon for cute stalkers.

In the meantime we are also scheming a new "Gentlemen's Club" which as you know we're always trying to take to a new level. We won't stop till we're filming on a yacht ;)

Bottom line: you all are amazing, this band has come so far in the last six months its crazy, and we want the next six to top that..so stick with us, we won't let you down.

Gimmie a D! Gimmie a U! Gimmie an H! What's that spell!?! HONOR SOCIETY

Sincerely,
The Varsity Captains of HONOR SOCIETY

Honor Society in Billboard Magazine

As a musician...as someone who has played music their whole life and has always dreamed of playing music for a living, there are a few "milestones" that you look forward to...you know, like being on the cover of Rolling Stone or winning your first Grammy.

Last week, I'm proud to say that we've reached one of these milestones...let's call it a mini-milestone :)

Last week, Honor Society made its first appearance in BILLBOARD MAGAZINE!!!

Without further ado, here it is:

Next stop, Rolling Stone ;)

It's getting hard to be someone but it all works out


HONOR SOCIETY lovers and friends, how are you?

First of all check out a professional artist's rendition of Michael and Alexander doing the 'Dirty Girl' above. 'Dirty Girl' is a Bobby Light song/production...duh.

So we've been in a pretty sick whirlwind lately. Last week we played a sold out 'old office' Knitting Factory show. The place was PACKED and we had a great time. Not mention the army of glo-sticks we got to witness rocking out to See U In The Dark.

Then Thursday we 'Rocked The Cause' at Marlboro High School in NJ with another pretty large and wild crowd. Major props to Marlboro HS and the lovely organizers who put it together.

Both shows made us feel like we're on the right tack and that we're doing something right because thankfully you guys are really responding to what we're doing. You're picking up what we're putting down if you will.

On the horizon for us is finishing our new recordings which we can't wait to have finished and by most of our myspace messages neither can YOU!

The reality is we're at an interesting point in our career right now. There's some major music business industry interest happening but its becoming attractive at the same time to do things more on our own...maybe Gentleman's Club Records is not too far from reality..;)

But don't you guys worry about that...just get amped for:

NEW RECORDINGS
NEW SONGS
NEW GENTLEMEN'S CLUBS
NEW MERCH
NEW HAIRCUTS

you get the idea....duh....you're HONOR SOCIETY fans so we know you're smart.

Good morning, Good afternoon, Goodnight
we love you,

HONOR SOCIETY
