Four years ago, Chapel Hill’s The Honored Guests was fresh off the release of its sophomore full-length, and the quintet was worn from countless hours on the road and playing gigs for next to nothing.

“We put out [Tastes Changes] in 2006 and we toured a lot — we made it from here to Seattle and back and a lot of other places — and we kept doing that,” frontman Russell Baggett explained.
Now a six-piece with the introduction of cellist Elysse Thebner, The Honored Guests have released a hold-over EP of new material, and is gearing up for the anticipated release of Please Try Again, which is primarily comprised of material written shortly after the release of Tastes Changes.
“We started working on the record we’re getting ready to put out right after we finished the last one, but everybody started doing other stuff — life stuff got in the way,” Baggett said, “Andrew [Kinghorn] was in school, Jeremy [Buenviaje] took a different job, I took a different job, Patrick [O'Neill] started Aminal.”
Being that Please Try Again is mostly songs the band has sat on for several years, and they each had an opportunity to take a breather, The Honored Guests is charged up and ready for its next project.
“I’ve gone from thinking we were going to make this perfect, awesome sort of pop record, to feeling like I hated the whole thing, to thinking now that it’s going to be pretty good — we just got lost in the middle of making it,” Baggett said. “I’m excited about getting it done, getting it out and then putting something else out not too long afterward.”
Kinghorn added, “Russell claims that we’re going to put out three releases this year, but I don’t see how that’s going to happen.”
Considering the renewed energy these guys have, a third release in 2010 shouldn’t be too hard to imagine.
