Rob met [[Joe Hawley]] on campus and as they began to become friendly, Rob learned of Joe's musical abilities and asked him and [[Steve Gallagher]] to join the band as lead guitarist and drummer respectively. Originally, they played a few gigs under the name '''Gallagher''' and then as '''540''', the address of their house at the time. By February 2003 however, the band name would be finalized as '''Tally Hall''', a suggestion by Joe inspired by an indoor shopping plaza/food court on Orchard Lake Road in Farmington Hills, Michigan. It was developed by Mel Rosenhaus (1925-2011) and, according to Mr. Rosenhaus' eulogy, was the first food court in Michigan.

On November 9th 2003, Tally Hall would order their now iconic colored ties, first worn in combination with their white dress shirts around November 2003. They would choose these uniforms to distinguish them from other college bands, and to show their overall unity as people and as musicians.<ref>[https://isthmus.com/arts/music/let-us-entertain-you/ Let us entertain you by Rich Albertoni, Isthmus website]</ref> | On November 9th 2003, Tally Hall would order their now iconic colored ties, first worn in combination with their white dress shirts around November 2003.

On May 14th 2004, they released their second EP, the [[Welcome To Tally Hall EP]]. This EP was sold at some of their concerts during 2004, in addition to Party Boobytrap. The band would have one of their first big breaks in the form of an appearance on WJR's Mitch Albom's radio show, performing [[Good Day]].<ref name="TALLYHALL2006BIO">[https://skyetheguy.com/DoubleOOP/bio.html 2006 Tally Hall site bio.]</ref> | |||

After a concert at the Pingry School in New Jersey, Steve Gallagher left the band<ref name="TALLYHALL2006BIO">[https://skyetheguy.com/DoubleOOP/bio.html 2006 Tally Hall site bio.]</ref> due to commitment issues. They eventually recruited drummer [[Ross Federman]].<ref name="TALLYHALL2006BIO">[https://skyetheguy.com/DoubleOOP/bio.html 2006 Tally Hall site bio.]</ref> Federman went to high school with Joe and he remembered Ross being a drummer. 2004 also saw the release of [[Complete Demos]] in November, a compilation of the EPs they did over the past two years with an additional track, [[Banana Man]].<ref name="TALLYHALL2006BIO">[https://skyetheguy.com/DoubleOOP/bio.html 2006 Tally Hall site bio.]</ref> This release would be sold at concerts and was available for purchase on [[tallyhall.com]] for about a year. The album was then considered out of print and hard to find until December 2015 when they uploaded it and made it available to purchase through Bandcamp. <ref>[https://tallyhall.bandcamp.com/album/complete-demos Tally Hall Complete Demos - bandcamp]</ref> | |||

The band began touring outside their general hometown area in 2005, and would sign under the [[Quack!

The band would take 4 months to record and mix Marvin's Marvelous Mechanical Museum, teasing tracks from the album on music streaming websites like MySpace and keeping fans updated on their website. Tracks from it would be released on [[Selections From The Upcoming Marvin's Marvelous Mechanical Museum|a radio promotional EP]] to hype fans up for the release in November of 2005. On November 22nd 2005, Marvin's Marvelous Mechanical Museum was finally released for fans to enjoy. Copies would be sold online and at concerts. | |||

Alexandra Patsavas, the music coordinator for the television drama "The O.C.", would find a copy of Marvin's Marvelous Mechanical Museum and liked it so much she would contact Tally Hall about featuring their music on the show<ref name="TallyHallOx">[https://books.google.ca/books?id=xf1JAAAAIBAJ&pg=PA3&dq=tally+hall+blind+pig&article_id=3037,3204033&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiWh8nsvvL3AhVQg4kEHRTRBhcQ6AF6BAgBEAI#v=onepage&q=tally%20hall%20blind%20pig&f=false Tally Hall Takes Trip To The Ox. The Michigan Daily. April 6th 2006.]</ref>. The band agreed, and so their music would be featured on the television series. This was one of the first times Tally Hall would break into more popular culture. "The Day After Tomorrow" featured Good Day<ref name=OC320>[http://www.theocmusic.co.uk/php/Season_3/episode20_season3_theoc.php The O.C.

New songs [[Misery Fell]], [[Turn The Lights Off]], and a retooling of All Of My Friends titled [[I'm Gonna Win]] would be played at concerts this year. Most of these would see release on Tally Hall's second album. Fan favorites [[At Least A Day]] and [[Time Machine]] were also played at shows early in the year<ref>[https://www.hiddeninthesand.com/blogs/fanjournals/concerts/2006/04/jennies-tally-hajj-04-08-06/ Jennie’s “Tally Hajj” — 04.08.06.

Some of these songs were played at their two double header shows at The Blind Pig on April 8th 2006, both of which sold out<ref name="TallyHallOx">[https://books.google.ca/books?id=xf1JAAAAIBAJ&pg=PA3&dq=tally+hall+blind+pig&article_id=3037,3204033&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiWh8nsvvL3AhVQg4kEHRTRBhcQ6AF6BAgBEAI#v=onepage&q=tally%20hall%20blind%20pig&f=false Tally Hall Takes Trip To The Ox.

September 12th saw the re-release of Marvin's Marvelous Mechanical Museum with more focused marketing behind it and a wider distribution plan. Due to this big marketing push, the band experienced much more success than before, being distributed into more stores and gaining national attention. Part of this was Tally Hall's appearance in MTV's segment "You Hear It First"<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7oNUyzfQDr0 Tally Hall - MTV's You Hear it First.

This tour would be met with much confusion, as [[Casey Shea]] would fill in for Joe Hawley for every tour date, as well as later dates in 2010. Joe later stated he was unable to tour because his "personal life and my professional life intersected in a way that may have been considered unsavory." Despite this, the band continued writing new work, some of it later released in solo efforts by the individual members. | ||
Their 2010 tour would see public performances of other songs from Good & Evil, like [[Who You Are]], [[You]], and [[Cannibal]].

===Needlejuice Represses=== | |||
In December 2020, Tally Hall signed with [[Needlejuice Records]], who announced open pre-orders for a reissue of [[Marvin's Marvelous Mechanical Museum]] in early 2021. Once the pre-orders were open the needlejuicerecords.com website crashed due to high demand. [[Just a Friend (EP)|An EP]] combining Just a Friend and some bonus tracks was announced, and released alongside the reissue. Needlejuice Records had confirmed that they would also reissue [[Good & Evil]]. | |||
On | On April 1st 2022, Tally Hall's Twitter account would announce a new merch store and re-issue of the "Shirt Shirt" design. This was met with much praise from the Tally Hall fanbase, and marked the first time that official Tally Hall merchandise had been made available since 2017.<ref>[https://twitter.com/TallyHall/status/1509986852647976963?s=20&t=Id9d12MgEX4bS2kVuYq3GQ Tally Hall Shop announcement Twitter post]</ref> | ||

==The Future of Tally Hall== | |||
Plans were made in 2013 to record a third album, but minor issues (including either not being ready or being too ready for it) would derail the project.<ref name="RJJJRadio2018">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=12cVp9hYBmQ Joe and Ross on Jimmy Jam Radio, 02/21/2018. YouTube.]</ref> | |||
Joe Hawley stated in a 2018 radio interview that they have a lot of plans and themes in mind for their 3rd album, and that they never reached the sound they were trying to achieving for in their previous work. The only problem was that its a "complicated situation" and a more "administrative or logistic concern".<ref name="RJJJRadio2018">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=12cVp9hYBmQ Joe and Ross on Jimmy Jam Radio, 02/21/2018.

On | On December 13th, 2018, as part of ミラクルミュージカル's Reddit AMA, when asked whether Tally Hall is still around, Ross answered: <i>"Tally Hall still exists. Touring isn't possible at this very moment.

In a August 15th 2023 Twitter thread, Andrew Horowitz, on behalf of the band, stated that one of the main reasons there hasn't been a 3rd album or tour is because of Joe Hawley's battle with an unnamed mental illness, which he had been dealing with for years.<ref>[https://www.hiddeninthesand.com/blogs/news/2023/08/rob-ross-zubin-andrew-address-the-community/ Rob, Ross, Zubin, & Andrew Address The Community]</ref> | |||
