This just in: We are playing this Saturday (August 23rd) in LI. People have been asking us for months and months to play in LI. Well, now is your chance to see it happen. We are going to deliver for you the full HONOR SOCIETY experience. I mean, no Duh.
Also, we have a new Gentlemen's Club in the works. It's going to be seriously funny. I don't want to spoil any surprises.. but there may or may not be a little bit of skin showing, thats for sure. Uh oh! The NEW episode will be debuting exclusively on our official fan site very soon, so check back for updates in the next few days...
Plus, tomorrow we are planning to go on a Great Adventure! I mean.. we're invading the theme park, also known as Six Flags. So if you see us upside down on a giant roller coaster tomorrow, come by and say hello! Even better, wear your 'See U In The Dark' shirt, so we know it's you. Duh.

School of Rock
Tomorrow night we return to NJ for another show at the School of Rock. Last time we played this venue it was really a lot of fun. The stage is pretty large, and the room itself is spacious and has a great sound. Doors are at 7pm. Be there.
We are also looking to playing a few additional shows the last week in August, maybe in the LI area, so look out for that real soon!
Finally, the US/US Tour was a huge success because of YOU.. but this is only the beginning. We cannot wait to announce what our Fall plans are going to be! So get ready for HONOR SOCIETY to be across the US. No Duh.
See you guys tomorrow night. Bring your glow sticks. It is SO on!

People this is Epic
Ok things are getting to a tipping point.. Last Tuesday night we rocked the #@*% out of the Knitting Factory. It was another stellar evening for us. Duh. Would you expect anything less then that? No of course not. And we were so happy that our fans came from near and far to see us. There was some Boston girls representing, as well as our good friends Katy and Karleigh (and family) all the way from Eerie PA! So we want to thank all of you for making our show the bomb. For serious.
As if that night wasn't enough, there are other major developments taking place.. Let me first though take you back to last week. We finished another new song. It's called 'Two Rebels' Check it:
Oh also we had a mention on Perez Hilton! Our friends, The Jonas Brothers, came out to our Knitting Factory show. We were happy they came out and supported us, it really meant a lot. Then last Friday we were at their Jones Beach show. There were cameras everywhere following them around for MTV, it was for a new web cast show. So we ended up on MTV! All in one week.. Not bad at all.
I am so tempted to tell you more, but for now I will just have to say goodbye. There are major forces at work right now that could very well change the course of all our lives, and the future of HONOR SOCIETY. It is so exciting and we cannot wait to share the news with all of you. Stay tuned...

Bean Town Boys
This past weekend we descended upon the great state of Massachusetts, and more specifically the town of Boston. It was another epic weekend of shows.. but let me go back to Friday night first and get you up to speed.
We did a live web chat on justin.tv. It was totally cool, and we announced a lot of incredible up coming events including... August 5th at the Knitting Factory. We are throwing the BIGGEST party on the summer! That's right.. you can expect to see some very special appearances by people in the August issue of POPSTAR magazine! We even posted a blog on their website about the show, inviting all readers of the mag to attend. Check it out:
Then Saturday morning at the crack of dawn we took off to the east and played an 'Under the Sun' show in Boston. The next day we did one more 'Under the Sun' show. They were both amazing. Thanks to everyone at these parties who made them both so special. We can't do this without you guys. You rock! Duh.
Tonight we are busy rehearsing for next Tuesdays show. It is only one week away! I can assure you that we are busy planning some musical surprises including a brand NEW song called 'Two Rebels.' It's gonna be beyond epic.. it's gonna be colossal.

The Gentlemen of Summer
This summer is shaping up to be a huge leap forward for us, it's very exciting! Let me recap for you our most recent July developments. First of all, we had an epic show on July 5th. Thanks to everyone who came out and made it incredibly awesome, we couldn't have done it without you. And don't feel too bad if you might have missed it. We are officially booked to return to the Knitting Factory for another night of rocking and rolling.. (and dancing of course). Mark your calendars:
Tuesday, August 5th
HONOR SOCIETY @ Knitting Factory (Main Stage) 7pm
And if you thought the last show was sick... you haven't seen nothing yet. This next Knitting Factory show is gonna be bigger and better then the last. This is the event of the summer, so don't miss it. Duh.
Also, we had another great CT outing on July 10th. We did our thing again at Toquet Hall in Westport, CT. It was a fun one, and we met some dudes from a great band out of Boston called 'The Blue Pages.' They were really cool guys. (Check out their lead singer wearing an official 'See U In The Dark' shirt in their myspace default pic!)
Finally, last weekend we kicked off our 'Under The Sun / Under The Stars Tour 2008' in the good ol' state of New Jersey. Me and the boys drove out to the first stop on our party hoping tour.
Now, you might say to yourself, 'What exactly are you going to play when you come to my house?' Well, the answer is right below.. Enjoy, and see you on the road this summer,

Jonas Questions
More and more eyes are coming on HONOR SOCIETY, and we have to thank all of the fans for their support in making this grow sooo incredibly fast.
One question/issue that seems to be continually rehashed is the question of 'Why did Alexander leave the Jonas Brothers?' or 'Is there beef between the two bands?'
All of this needs to be squashed.
I was the original drummer for the Jonas Brothers from May 2005 until Thanksgiving time 2006. It was a great year and a half run for my career, but it is time to reveal why I left the band and put the rumors to bed.
Artistically, I was unhappy playing in that band. That's it.
I was simply a hired drummer, who played the Jonas' songs - which was awesome, but I really needed to leave and find my own voice, my own band, my own project. HONOR SOCIETY is that project - I am able to be an artist with NO labels, managers or band members holding me back creatively.
I got into music to create... not to duplicate. That is why I left the band, and that is why I am now a member of HONOR SOCIETY.
I still talk with, and hang out with Nick, Joe and Kevin whenever they come to the city and we are all still friends. They fully understand my position and have encouraged me every step of the way. I find it very funny, when people suggest there is beef between us.
The only beef between us, is the 20 oz. Rib-Eye that Nick eats whenever we go out to dinner. Period.

Epic by nature
Last Saturday we, the band HONOR SOCIETY that you know and love, embarked on an epic photoshoot, the likes which you have never seen before. The conditions were perfect as we drove up for another photographic odyssey.
We drove two hours from New York to Rhode Island. Once we arrived, we parked ourselves inside a cabana on the beach, right next to the ocean. It was bright and sunny, the sky was magnificent and blue. The day couldn't have been more perfect.
First, we took photos all along the cabana, and then we walked into the small beach town that sits next to the beach and shot some more. (They have yummy treats all around like salt water taffy and delicious home made ice cream, both of which we sampled).
This little beach town is also home to the oldest carousel in America. It has wooden horses on chains that spin around a central wooden cylinder, which had drum and pipe organ adornments. We stood in the center and snapped some shots of us as the horses whirled by.
Next, we headed to the docks and shot some pics next to the water. All of the sudden, this amazing fog rolled into town. It was like a bonfire had been set off and the smoke just filled up all around us. It felt like we were on a movie set.
The scene was set for the second half of our shoot. We descended onto the beach area, with instruments in toe. Alex had his drum kit set up in the sand. The beach emptied due to the lack of direct sun light, and the incredible fog made it look like we were on some marooned island. So for the next hour or so we took advantage of this fog anomaly as our amazing photographer, Richie, snapped tons of epic images.
Needless to say, we are SO amped about these new photos and can't wait for you guys to see them. Check back soon for a sneak peak of some of the shots...

It's gettin' hot in here
Is it HOT enough outside for you. Today is going to reach a record 98 degrees! It's a HEAT wave for sure... I just walked outside for about 20 minutes, around Washington Square Park, and by the end of it I was ready to either go for a swim or pass out. You can almost taste the thick humidity in your mouth as your lungs fill up with a rich, dry layer of hot air. Luckily there are such things (invented by geniuses) as iced coffee to refresh your tongue and add needed caffeine to your movements.
Days like today I also really appreciate another marvel of our modern world - air conditioners (yet another invention created by geniuses). Those big hunks of metal and electrical circuitry, cooling our atmospheric environment, create a livable (and enjoyable) realm to dwell in. On days like today it's imperative to stop every few blocks in a store with air conditioning pumping to keep you fueled for your remaining journey. It's like a swimmer coming up for oxygen as they do their long marathon swim through the elements - living for those short slurps of air.
Having the proper attire is an essential, but you must always maintain your cool. Duh. The right pair of shades and shorts and you are ready to bear the suns relentless rays. Of course you could walk inside a chilly American Apparel store for a minute to cool yourself down... just be careful not to get caught shopping while inside.
-Jason and the HOT gentlemen of HONOR SOCIETY
ps Speaking of HOT, the new Gentlemen's Club is premiering this Wed. June 11th at 8pm.

Let the games begin
Last Saturday was a KO! Thanks for coming out and partying with us. We were so psyched to be playing our EP release show at the Knitting Factory. It was a HUGE success! Here at the HONOR SOCIETY camp there is a sense of accomplishment after putting our blood, sweat and tears into making this album (and show) a reality.
All these things considered though, we are not a band to slow down even slightly. We have many new 'tricks up our sleeves' just waiting in the wings.. On tap for June (and the summer beyond) are:
-NEW Gentlemen's Club episodes (They are going to make you laugh yourself into a tizzy. Oh, what!? Duh).
-NEW songs (This Bed is an Ocean, The Letter and more...)
-NEW behind the EP documentary
-NEW photos and a music video
Not to mention LOT'S more live shows!! Stay tuned for more details on another NYC show planned for mid-June.
It's going to be a crazy hot summer with your favorite gentlemen. So break out your sunblock, Raybans and short-shorts. It's time to get a tan, HONOR SOCIETY style.
-Jason and the HONOR SOCIETY volley ball squad
p.s Check out this video of an acoustic version of our new song. We da BEST baby.

And for our next trick...
Many people across the US went traveling for Memorial Day weekend. I'm sure it must have been fun. While you were eating that hot dog at your family's bar-b-q, we were locked down in Alex's basement rehearsing. Yes, it was time consuming, but it was time well spent.
You will FLIP when you hear this new set! Digging into the EP songs and performing them with these all new sounds and parts has been so gratifying. They have a solid foundation now, and a renewed energy to them. I've been experimenting w/ various textures from my keys. It's like a jigsaw puzzle, and all our instruments are a piece that need to lock into the others in just the right way.
Our set has become a different beast altogether. More like a Lion now maybe.. The arrangements have all been revamped and reloaded with some awesome new parts (and interludes added in from the EP). Some old favorites are getting a face lift as well. Kiss me like u mean it is sounding really cool with a killer new synth line we added. Also, we are resurrecting an old favorite! I won't give the title away, but let me divulge that theres gonna be some booty shaking going down. No doubt.
Oh, and Alex is rocking some additions to his drum kit. There's an all new electric element going on.. Rock solid. In addition, Mike has been jamming on his Les Paul. The sonics he's producing are gigantic, thick and chunky. Super beefy, for the kids.
Basically, we are super pumped for our show at the Knit on Saturday night. It's going to be killer. Duh. Be THERE or be THERE.

A Tale of Risky Business
Drum roll please... The EP is done! We worked long and hard to complete it, and it is all wrapped up. It has been a whirlwind, and at some points I thought we wouldn't be able to pull it all together. In the end we got it all done, and let me tell you it was down to the wire.
Those moment's when I thought, 'This is impossible, it will never happen' are the ones when we really banded together and got things done. We pulled together as only HONOR SOCIETY can, and delivered in a BIG way.
The music on this EP is the best we've ever created, hands down. The title of our EP is, A Tale of Risky Business, and for me it really sums everything up. The past few months have been jam packed with us growing and changing as a band, becoming stronger and more focused on what we want to accomplish. It's a risk you take to put yourself out there sometimes, but you know what they say, without risk there is no reward.
Here is a sneak peak at the track listing:
1. The Mystery of the Vanishing Girl (prologue)
2. See U In The Dark
3. And For Our Next Trick... (interlude)
4. Why Didn't I?
5. Risky Business (interlude)
6. The Takeover
7. The Haunt (epilogue)
The art for our CD wouldn't have happened if it wasn't for Andrew. He literally put it all together and made it happen.. So a big kudos to Andrew. This is the final result:
Next up we are getting back into the rehearsal arena and shedding for our upcomding EP release show on May 31st. We have some NEW surprises planned, and if all goes well a brand new song to debut! It's going to be ridiculously awesome. Duh.

Next up we are getting back into the rehearsal arena and shedding for our upcomding EP release show on May 31st. We have some NEW surprises planned, and if all goes well a brand new song to debut! It's going to be ridiculously awesome. Duh.

Our EP is almost done!
Hello you wonderful people. We are extremely busy right now finishing up our EP. It is sounding SO HOT that I cannot even begin to describe how excited we are. It has been a crazy process and the last week has been kind of a blur. I have been back and forth from Manhattan to our studio in NJ. I have logged many hours on the NJ transit train. I can tell you exactly what the stops are from Penn Station to Seacaucus (where we transfer) to our stop in Waldwick. You have stops such as Ramsey, Ho-Ho-Kus, Ridgewood etc. etc.
Yes the last week has been super crazy, but I KNOW we have something really special for you to hear. The artwork is also really cool. I don't want to give away too much, but let me say there is a mystery novel theme to it. There may or may not be lighthouses and anchors involved as well...
So our deadline is rapidly approaching to deliver the music and artwork to the CD duplication place. There is no way to have a EP release show without EP's! Duh. Which by the way, our show is NOW on May 31st at the Knitting Factory, Main Stage. We go on at 8pm. It's going to be fun getting back on the stage again.
Anyway it's Saturday, but it could be a Thursday. Each day seems like the one before. It's crunch time, but I think sometimes the best work comes out of those situations when your up against the wall. Soon the fruits of our labor will be unleashed for everyone to enjoy. And then maybe I can relax.. for a minute at least.

In the business of business
so things are getting crazy, everything is elevating: creativity, pressure, expenses, deadlines, its alot to handle.
Things are going well right now and it's funny it sounds cliche but alot of times when i'm down, making our music makes me feel so much better. I can be stressed about so many things and we get in the studio and it all goes away. Its awesome. That's how I know we're on to something because I'm just like you guys, a music fan, and our music gives me a great feeling.
On the creative side we've already started messing with ideas for a new Gentlemen's Club and no joke we have an idea for an animated series starring us! How sick would that be!?!
anyway its Friday, go turn up HONOR SOCIETY while you're getting ready and then go have FUN!
