My ears might be a little tired from listening to them too damn much, but if they're not totally finished, they're really close. Guitars and bass are up next...Stay tuned.]]> http://therealbostaurus.com/news.html#30 Wed, 10 Mar 2010 00:00:00 -0800 therealbostaurus.com - Bos Taurus - News http://therealbostaurus.com/news.html#29 Photos page.]]> http://therealbostaurus.com/news.html#29 Wed, 06 Jan 2010 00:00:00 -0800 therealbostaurus.com - Bos Taurus - News http://therealbostaurus.com/news.html#28
We're doing up a couple shows in Philly in January (check out the Calendar for info) and are looking forward to them. We'll probably pick up a few more shows in the early part of the year in prep for the Delaware beach festival season. Keep an eye on this page for more updates.]]> http://therealbostaurus.com/news.html#28 Fri, 25 Dec 2009 00:00:00 -0800 therealbostaurus.com - Bos Taurus - News http://therealbostaurus.com/news.html#27
And so, after said deliberation, we've decided to record the majority of the material ourselves (again), while leaving ourselves open to the possibility of doing some of the work in other studios. And, of course (really, obviously), we will have the record mastered by professionals (as we confess to not totally understanding that magical process).

The big difference between this venture and the first (the album, It's Plain -- see the Buy tab for info) is that we're upgrading our gear, which is part of the reason for our delayed project start. The delay has nothing to do with a lack of material. In fact, I've penned something like 16 songs in preparation for this album. Plus, given how long this will take (I'm guessing 6 to 8 months start-to-finish), I'm sure there will be a few more tunes added to the pile by the time all is said and done. Have no fear though - we'll whittle that down to a more streamlined # by press time.

So, keep an eye on the website to see how we're doing with it. Who know? Maybe we'll just post a little audio tidbit here and there along the way...]]> http://therealbostaurus.com/news.html#27 Mon, 31 Aug 2009 00:00:00 -0700 therealbostaurus.com - Bos Taurus - News http://therealbostaurus.com/news.html#26 Bos Taurus Player: Precious Pearls and Look Inside Yourself. I hope you like them. I recorded Precious Pearls several months ago; Look Inside Yourself only about a week ago. As always (so far, anyway) that's me on all instruments and vocals. I have about 10 or so more of these tunes awaiting a visit to a studio for professional recording. I expect that to happen in early summer.

Oh, It's Plain is the same old song penned for the first (and only, to date) album.]]> http://therealbostaurus.com/news.html#26 Tue, 21 Apr 2009 00:00:00 -0700 therealbostaurus.com - Bos Taurus - News http://therealbostaurus.com/news.html#25
First, we rock a number with Satan on the drums. Note that while he has hidden his horns--probably with the help of black magic--his wings are quite apparent. The fact that they're white is purposefully deceiving. I had always suspected this of Mr. Young...



Here's a nice pic of me and Shawn, me with my trusty Jazzmaster, Shawn wielding the SG (like no other can):



And finally, here's a pic of me receiving a DMA for Best Pop Band at the show. I confess I don't look too comfortable in this pic, but Rob sure seems delighted with the whole thing...

...oh, yeah, and there were these other two bands playing too...what were their names again?...Oh, right - the Cocks and the Knobs too!!

All joking aside, this was a special event for the Knobs, who, led by Bos Taurus's own Phil Young, rocked the biggest crowd I've ever seen at the Logan House, bar none. Check out the photos uploaded to the Knobs myspace page. The Cocks started the show in top fashion, debuting a couple of new tunes and breaking in their excellent new drummer, Pete (sorry Pete, I don't know your last name yet!). I'll post some pics of that when I have them. Or, you can check to see if they post any of them on the Cocks myspace page.

Here are some pics of Bos Taurus from the show:

See? You should've been there...]]> http://therealbostaurus.com/news.html#24 Wed, 11 Feb 2009 00:00:00 -0800 therealbostaurus.com - Bos Taurus - News http://therealbostaurus.com/news.html#23 Press page, so be sure to check it out.

Also, we have a couple of gigs coming up in February, the first one on Saturday, the 7th at Kelley's Logan House in Wilmington, DE. We're playing with the Cocks and the Knobs (coming back to do a posthumous, one-time-only record release party) Both bands are also from Delaware.]]> http://therealbostaurus.com/news.html#23 Thu, 29 Jan 2009 00:00:00 -0800 therealbostaurus.com - Bos Taurus - News http://therealbostaurus.com/news.html#22

Bos Taurus at Mojo 13 on 12/20/08.]]> http://therealbostaurus.com/news.html#22 Mon, 22 Dec 2008 00:00:00 -0800 therealbostaurus.com - Bos Taurus - News http://therealbostaurus.com/news.html#21
You know why? Because it was a great show and there were lots of people there. To name a few: Rob Kalesse from Spark, Ryan Cormier and Ed Kenney from the News Journal, and some dork with a black eye who danced in front of the stage during our entire set, shouting unnecessary encouragement, probably a few obscenities and God knows what else. Actually, while I'm sure he's a perfectly nice guy, he's lucky I didn't kick him in the face last night.

Anyway, pics coming soon. Ya'll be good now, y'hear?]]> http://therealbostaurus.com/news.html#21 Sun, 21 Dec 2008 00:00:00 -0800 therealbostaurus.com - Bos Taurus - News
