awesome

I would really like

I would really like. To be disconnected from most past experiences. Not saying i regret anything... because no one should. But i feel that high school and home should be left where it belongs... in the past. Granted that there are happy moments but they are laced with horrible ones. But being home i have gained some material.

The writing has consisted of where i have been and the apprehension of where i am going. I know reliving the glory days will never satisfy, while reminiscing is entertaining. I know that this band is great. And i pumped to be a part of it.

I am wating for things to go wrong
I was left with the smoking gun
Holding on and being strong
Given up and all i need to do is run

Dig or not dig. I am blacked out.


will be back to work tomorrow.

Much love

THAnKs Given

Ello.

Firstly, I hope everyone survived their food coma from thanksgiving. I think i ate more in these couple of days than i have eaten in the last 5 months. So i am good for another 5 more. Anyway. I thought i should check in and hopefully some new people are going to end up checking this.

I went to my hometown for thanksgiving. The wood. And it was very much a high school Reunion/ drunken embarrassment. It was nice to see some people that i have only been stalking through facebook (ha...is he joking?). But to all the new comers that i strong armed into checking out the band. I say come play with us. And tell your friends.

I must get going and fill up on more turkey. I swear the next entry will be interesting.

P.S The new Kanye and Tv on the Radio blow my mind.

Our Heat is off

As i sit here with a cold nose and dressed in winter gear i could not help to realize that i have not written in a while. So with my cup of tea and a bottle of Jameson i hope to increase my body temperature. (our heat is off)

We are recording like crazy. Everything is sounding really good. And it is sounding different than our other stuff. We have established some good songs that i think will you will like. Not this stupid stuff that is happening now.

I was browsing the inter-web today and stumbled on cache of these teeny bopper bands that are dominating pre-teen audiences. Bands like boys like girls, cobra starship, the kings and queens or something .... and i think they fucking blow. Like seriously. I am all about melody and hooks and even willing to sell out a bit but these bands are bent over holding on to their ankles.

Music...more specific rock and roll.. is an expression of ones conflict, perception of the world, and loves won and lost . Not robotic voice sounds and synths speaking about sexual innuendo that comes off sugar coated. It is kind of like disco with all those teen beat singers with the fluffy hair. All the power to them of course because they are getting attention and living the dream. But i would personally be embarrassed.

Anyways more about the band. We are now planning to release a new song each week. Hopefully with a video that will accompany it. Depends how good we get at editing videos. The song will be put up on myspace and facebook each Tuesday. So stay tuned for the release of each song.

We have a plan. Annalisa and the rest of our support team are going get our music out there but we need you to dig it. So please spread the word and we will do our best. Much love. I will write a less heavy post once my body temperature rises.

My first posting

Well hello everyone,

My name's Eric, I am the singer/rhythm guitarist for Hello Midnight, and I thought it was about to time to say a little something on this cool new blog...so I'm gonna tell you a little about myself:

Right now I'm sitting in a Starbucks basement using the free wifi i get here for being a "partner"...which means i can mess around a little bit online before slaving away as a barista here in Hoboken's newest Starbucks. For a while I was the only band member with a source of income other than cashing out bonds or selling guitars, but now the lovely Benson is also dedicating some of his hours to a reputable restaurant - Cosi. I think it's a restaurant, I'm not sure, Benson can tell you more about what he does there than I can.

But if anyone's ever in Hoboken on Washington Ave between 3rd and 4th they should stop in and say hello to me...that would be cool, and I'm sure Benson would love if you came into his place of employment as well. I don't have to wear a hat and he does - that might be the biggest and most important difference between our jobs.

Alright...I have to go to work. Maybe next time I'll tell you about my favorite foods, color, dream date, etc... but those questions will have to wait. I'm gonna go throw on my Starbucks smile and make some fucking amazing lattes now.

Love,
Eric

REVELATIONS

matt and i just discovered the dynamic of our friendship/shared alcoholism: we each instigate one another until we arrive at a consensus which allows us to cooperatively enable our drinking.

BREVITY, MATT LANGNER. BREVITY.

Hey everybody we started recording in our makeshift studio and things are going well. check us out.

There. that didn't take 2 and a half hours or 6 paragraphs to write, so somebody tell ol' master's thesis matt langner that he isn't writing for the times so he can cool it with the editing and proofing of this effing thing.

Anyways, the whole point of this insanely popular blog is to tell you kids what we are up to so here it is. matt and i are sitting in our empty house drinking box wine and watching intervention and top chef. intriguing? not so much. romantic? more so than either of us are prepared to admit. whatever, we are getting shitty to shake those monday blues.

so thats that. check out our shit on the links below and give us a shout out.
talk to you later my babiessss

STARTED RECORDING

To WHOM this may Concern-

We have started recording. We are now doing demos. There is a link to the new song "Losing Ground" at the bottom of the page. As you have gathered from the other guys' posts--we are learning as we go. I think the songs are going to sound massive. And create some interest in what we are doing. I am doing a lot of writing so we are going to record as many songs as we can.

We are planning to release a song a week accompanied with a video to show our progress while demonstrating our antics of being such "ROCKSTARS." I guarantee that we think we are funny... maybe you will too.

You have many things to look forward to. Like the stimulating competition of NHL "hitz" and the occasional star wars/matrix arguments between Eric, prolow, and benson. In general we will entertain. We are going to share with you drunken debauchery and what else we can post pertaining to the band and our lifestyle. Hopefully through these videos we can start turning people on to our music while turning you on to us. (that sounded forward. but i mean it)


Here is our first crack at it. We are learning how to use my photo camera and not editing it. Think of it as recording #1 (Also look for it on youtube as well)




We are having a meeting managment this week to come up with a plan. So stay tuned. Tell your friends. Check out the demos and our myspace. Also comment on the songs! Much Love

TRAIL BY ERROR?

what do you get when you swing 3 xlr cables from prolow's window to matt's window, thus joining prolow's computer with a couple of mic-ed up amps in matt's room? if you said "a fire hazard," you are partially correct. and an asshole. but the correct answer is a makeshift RECORDING STUDIO, WOOOOOOO YEEEEYEEAH. so what we are doing now is moving around equipment, daisy-chaining powerstrips, digging for microphones and taking all other necessary steps to turn matt's room into a functioning studio to demo songs in. anyways to paint a more descriptive picture of what 135 terrace avenue now looks like, matt has beeen singing some song about punching vaginas, prolow is walking around making sure everyone knows that he has triumphed over technology, and i have absolutely been in the way for the last 15 minutes. and i folded my laundry. all in all, today will most certainly go down in the annals of hello midnight history as a day of momentous significance or whatever. if all goes according to our "plan", you can expect to hear some freshly recorded demos in the near future. stay classy.

RECORDING

Matt is setting up his drums, Benson is yelling, and I am currently up 1-0 in my daily battle with technology. We have begun recording the Hello Midnight debut in our spot. Mic cables are being strung from window to window, as Hello Midnight Headquarters has been turned into our recording playpen. All it needs is a ball pit for Benson.

Dr. Thunder

hello all.

I promised that this blog would be worth checking. Well i hope. So we have started checking things off our list. Mobilizing to relaunch the band with a new look and a newer sound. As for look... NOT matching clothes or something but more how our online sites look and the direction the band will go in. I think we are now shaking off all the trail by error bullshit and have something worth getting turned on to. Right now i have posted up in the rehearsal room (our sunken living room) with a bottle of rum and a soda called Dr. Thunder to mix and an almost empty pack of cigs. Not that bad. i am finishing up lyrics and demoing. getting ready for the lads when they come back for practice tomorrow and the next day. They are voting at home like good guys... don't worry i am driving home tomorrow morning.

Before i forget. We are headlining a three day festival this Thursday at Red Star in Brooklyn (summer 07 memories). If you have looked at this then you have the facebook info... if not www.myspace.com/hellomidnightmusic for details. Apparently there is supposed to be a lot of press and industry people there so obviously i need to make a scene.. Ha.. check the blogsssssssssssssssssssssssss yo

But we are doing well. And the new stuff is going to be massive. We are hashing out a date to relaunch the band late November early December. So please comment on the blogs. If you are into the band or whatever...

AND OBAMARAMA
