Recording Update
The recording session at Bassline Studio was productive, to say the least. We laid down three songs, including a brand new song we tentatively called "Early" for some reason or another, that we've never played live. In fact it's so new that while Ryan was recording vocals to another song, Justin and I had to go finish up the lyrics in another room. Even though that was mildly successful, we we're still missing half of a third verse and a bridge. We finished it, but Paul likened it to writing an essay the day before it's due. Not the Scholars...we wait until 10 minutes before we have to turn it in.And if you're looking for something to do this weekend, head down to Kurt & Clyde's (just a half block north of Sokol Auditorium) on Saturday, Nov. 29th. Paul and I will be joined by Nate Hall of Third Frate for a show as our indie-rock, anti-establishment band Death of a Taxpayer. We're opening up for The Brothers (Matt and Mike Geiler) at 9pm, so it's sure to be an interesting night of music.

Ten O'Clock Scholars...Now With News!
Just a few quick things in the Scholars world to alert you about...which as always will turn into something that takes you 5 minutes to sift through.This weekend we head into the studio to record new tracks for an upcoming album that has been in the works for a good 2 years now. We're laying down a couple songs we've been playing live for the past few months. And we only told you this so you don't think we're not trying to provide you with a new album...we try, it just takes us awhile to do things.
And lastly, using the Scholars website to pub something else of sorts, on Saturday, Nov. 29th, Ten O'Clock Scholars will not be playing a show. However, Paul and Taylor, combining forces with our good friend Nate Hall from Third Frate, will be playing under the name Death of a Taxpayer at Kurt & Clydes in Omaha. The Brothers (Matt and Mike Geiler) graciously asked the Scholars to join them for a night of musical fusion and when we couldn't, they took the next best thing...a side project consisting of half the Scholars and a third of Third Frate. Kurt & Clyde's is relatively new to the music scene, located just a half block north of Sokol Auditorium. Should be a great night of music for those 21+ and willing to part with $4. We'll be playing many of the songs from the two-man band mini-tour, and probably "Cry, Cry, Cry" from the Onken-Stein Records compilation disc.
And no one read up to this point...
