The Honored Guests recorded their new album, Tastes Change, at The Cabin, their
studio on the outskirts of their hometown, Chapel Hill, NC. Tastes Change
features The Guests' love for textured simplicity along with sensible
experimentation. Recorded over the course of 6 months, while touring on and off,
the band has come to a balance between what seems interesting and what seems
exciting. After their inception in the fall of 2003, the band first toured as
the three piece of Russell Baggett (vocals/guitar), Jeremy Buenviaje (bass), and
Andrew Kinghorn (drums). Patrick O'neill (keys/guitar) was added to the band in
late 2005 to flesh out the more adventurous parts of the Guests' sound.
Tastes Change is a marked difference from the band's 2004 debut,
Iawokeinacityasleep. The more straight forward pop of Iawoke enlisted the help
of Robert Sledge (formerly of Ben Folds Five) to co-produce and make sure the
engineering was sound. Iawokeinacityasleep's appeal was proven by its airplay on
over 150 college radio stations nationwide, including 13 stations that charted
the record. Iawoke also spent 4 consecutive months on the RIYL music charts and
got the Guests the featured slot at an ASCAP Showcase sponsored by Myspace.
The band continues to tour religiously, already having supported such acts as
Longwave (RCA), Midtown (Columbia), Straylight Run (Victory), Hot Rod Circuit
(Vagrant), Cub Country (Jade Tree/Future Farmer), Armor For Sleep (Equal
Vision), Valient Thorr (Volcom), The Working Title (Universal), Say Anything (J
Records), plus many others. The band plans to tour throughout the rest of 2006
and into 2007 to every corner of the U.S.
