'''The Pingry EP''' is a collection of live, acoustic, and one-take performance demos released by [[Tally Hall]] in April 2005. Originally, these tracks were recorded to have something to give record companies, in addition to [[Complete Demos]], to show what other songs they've been working on. | '''The Pingry EP''' is a collection of live, acoustic, and one-take performance demos released by [[Tally Hall]] in April 2005.

At some point in early 2005, Tally Hall and [[Bora Karaca]] would record some acoustic tracks in a Music School classroom, using an Oktava MK012-01 compact microphone. Later (or earlier, Bora seems to not remember which happened when), [[Joe Hawley]] would ask Bora to record [[The Bidding]] for them at University of Michigan studio. However there are four tracks on the EP not recorded at either session. | At some point in early 2005, Tally Hall and [[Bora Karaca]] would record some acoustic tracks in a Music School classroom, using an Oktava MK012-01 compact microphone.

[[ | The EP was named after The Pingry School in New Jersey, where [[Andrew Horowitz|Andrew]] went to high school. Tally Hall had been a staple band at the annual Pingry School Spring Fling concert for a few years but 2005 was the last time they performed at there. The band also sold copies at their June 1st show at The Ark in the same year.<ref name="livejournal">[https://tallyhall.livejournal.com/10935.html?thread=57015#t57015 Tally Hall livejournal reply from Coz Baldwin, June 15th, 2005]</ref> | ||
The | ==Tracks== | ||
The first couple tracks on the album are the aforementioned acoustic Music School tracks and the University of Michigan studio recording of The Bidding. | |||
Part of the tracklisting is archival recordings from 2002-2004. [[Good Day]] was a radio performance at the Mitch Albom show on WJR Radio in May 2004, [[Just A Friend]] is a live performance recording at [[The Blind Pig]] on March 24th 2005, and [[Yearbook]] is the first attic recording Tally Hall would make in 2003, before recording [[Party Boobytrap]]. | |||
An outlier is Cell Phone Call, from Tally Hall's first live show at the Frieze Basement in December of 2002 It's included as a hidden track and is simply stage banter during a cell phone call between [[Rob Cantor]] and Joe. | |||
