Damn The Power!
So we had a practice this weekend...well sort of...we tried to practice. Check that, we actually did practice 2 1/2 songs until we lost power. I figured it was probably just too much rock for the basement outlets to handle. But, after looking at the breakers, I discovered that it was not the copius amounts of wattage, but the gigantic wind advisory that we were under. So, for the first practice we've had in months with all four members present at the same time, we practiced playing darts for an hour whilst waiting for the power to return. It did not return. Slightly unfortunate because we had planned to work on at least 3 new songs, some of which we were going to play Thursday for the Halloween show. Alas, the rock gods would not have it, so we're doomed to play songs you know and love...and maybe a couple covers we haven't played in awhile.We do have a studio update to mention as well. Towards the end of November we'll be heading to Bassline Studios, where we recorded "Please Baby Please," to lay down a few more songs for the upcoming album. As of now, the plan is to record "Me and My Girl," "Can't Quit," and one other TBD.
Hopefully this satisfies your urge to know the inner-workings of the Scholars. If you have other urges, please pick up a bottle of Herbal Essence and contact Connealy. And don't forget about the post below...HALLOWEEN SHOW THIS THURSDAY AT KNICKERBOCKERS!

All Hollows Eve...Eve
Halloween's on Oct. 30th, right? No...well screw that, it should be. And to prove that it should be we're playing our annual Halloween Bash on Oct. 30th, if for no other reason than to prove a point to Happy Jack the Grave Dancer. You can't trust a thing that guy says.Here's the lowdown:
Knickerbockers - Oct. 30th
w/ Third Frate and Labeled
Doors at 8pm, Show at 9pm
$5, but only $4 if you dress up in costume
18+
Labeled kicks off the show, followed by Third Frate and then us. Should be an excellent night of music and an even better night of costume shinnanigans. And, to top it all off, we've convinced Knickerbockers to sell alcoholic beverages that night. That's right...alcohol. Oh what a night!
