Tally Hall: Animatronic Tales III

BW — Fri, 02 Dec 2011 20:28:33 +0000

“I’ve always wondered why my friends can’t be counted on to answer their phones but wrong numbers will always pick up after the first ring.” That was the response Andrew gave when prompted by a voice in the monitor room to prove it was really him. There was a terse, “Yeah, okay,” in reply, and [...]

Suburban Sprawl Music, the other indie label from the Detroit area (Livonia, actually), who merged with Quack! Media back in 2007, released their annual holiday compilation. ”Every year, various friends (from Michigan and beyond) use the SubSprawl Holiday comp as a way to have fun, write some totally sweet holiday songs, and collaborate.” On it, [...]

Andrew Horowitz Debuts Solo Project: edu

Coz — Wed, 23 Nov 2011 05:17:28 +0000

We’re aware the future of Tally Hall is fuzzy. Surely, from the information gathered, we probably won’t see much action from the band for awhile. But that doesn’t mean the 5 guys are retiring their musical ties (pun intended). We also know that Andrew Horowitz has been working on a solo project, has played a [...]

Tally Hall: Animatronic Tales II

BW — Mon, 14 Nov 2011 05:33:12 +0000

Teleportation is basically when something is pulled into small pieces and put back together somewhere else, and when a person’s stomach goes through this process, the result is a mystifying feeling called nausea. Coming out of the teleporter, every member of Tally Hall swallowed their breakfast for the second time that morning. Everyone, that is, [...]

HITS Is On Google Plus

Coz — Mon, 07 Nov 2011 23:05:11 +0000

Hiddeninthesand on Google+ HITS is now on Google+! “But what does that mean?” you say. “That remains to be seen!” I say. In case you’re not aware, Google+ is a new social network by Google which takes the best features of Twitter, the best features of Facebook, nothing from Myspace, and combines them. Moreso, it’s [...]

Tally Hall: Animatronic Tales I

BW — Wed, 02 Nov 2011 23:34:11 +0000

Once upon a time, there were alien creatures that wanted nothing more than to suck out human voices like chocolate milkshakes. Fortunately, groups of people called “musicians” had stopped screaming and running around in circles long enough to realize how they could combat these aliens. One such group was a five-man band called Tally Hall. [...]

Turn The Lights Off – Music Video

Coz — Thu, 27 Oct 2011 21:44:44 +0000

As we all may know by now, Tally Hall’s video for “&” was cancelled due to a lack of resources. I’m considering starting a Kickstarter fundraiser up for them, but I’m still waiting to find out if it would be worth it. Luckily, Drew Mokris (AKA Drewmo) of spinnerdisc.com and lefthandedtoons.com is a friend of [...]

Help Design New Hall Monitor Shirt

Hey y’all! So the tour is over and while we still have the “&” video to look forward to, I’m not aware of any future plans for the band and neither are you. This has caused much speculation about the future of Tally Hall and if they’re breaking up, etc. It’s true that Zubin and [...]

A Truly Special Experience

Jack Thomas — Thu, 04 Aug 2011 08:31:00 +0000

There are few things in life that are more important than music, and there is no better way to enjoy music than at a live performance. So when I heard that my very favorite band was playing a few hours away, naturally I was very excited. But it came with a sort of guarded optimism; [...]

TALLY HALL at THE TROUBADOUR (08-02-2011)

bebright — Thu, 04 Aug 2011 00:43:19 +0000

TALLY HALL at THE TROUBADOUR! — FIRST CONTACT (you can totally skip this part if you want to, as it is merely anecdote. stuff about the show itself is down there.) This was actually my first Tally Hall concert ever, despite being a fan since around 2005 or 2006… I think. A combination of being [...]

Tally Teens Pt. VII

Emily Vaughn — Fri, 01 Jul 2011 14:02:05 +0000

“Where exactly are you taking us?” Joe asked as the five boys crossed the lake to where the drum graveyard was. “It’s something I just found last week while searching through the woods over here,” Zubin answered. The boys continued on in silence as they approached the shore. Zubin led them through the woods for [...]

Good & Evil Is Upon Us

Coz — Tue, 21 Jun 2011 19:52:29 +0000

Perhaps the biggest day in Tally Hall’s history is upon us. A day many have waited quite a few YEARS for. Yes, years. I remember within a month of the release of their first record in 2005, people were wondering what they were going to do next. Then, when the first of the new songs [...]

Tally Hall recently hosted two little listening parties on Ustream. They took questions and played some songs from their album, Good & Evil, which is finally being released on June 21st, almost 6 years after their last (and first) album was initially released. On Tuesday, June 14th, Ross, Rob, and Andrew broadcasted from Andrew’s apartment [...]

New Blogs Design

Coz — Sun, 15 May 2011 00:09:29 +0000

So, this past Thursday, I softly launched a new design for HITS Blogs. It’s a huge change for the Blogs portion of the website, but not a big change for the site as all it does it mimic the rest of the site’s look. I still had a few bugs to iron out, which I [...]
