Ex-Q and Not U Dude Becomes President
Would that it were true, sigh

With his former Q and Not U bandmate Chris Richards making plenty of noise as Ris Paul Ric and ex-Q stickman John Davis turning into Georgie James, Harris Klahr went for some serious oneupsmanship: he named his new project President, and named his debut record Take Music.

So where is Klahr planning to Take Music exactly? Well, as our Marc Hogan wrote in his Forkcast post on Take Music closer "In the Sun", he's headed to a spot "as relaxed as it is heliolithic." This being the news section, we're more apt to tell you Take Music is heading to the Friends label September 4 for a digital-only release, though an accompanying 12" of non-LP tracks is on the way. Sounds (d)electable!

President has a single show slated at the moment, September 23 at Brooklyn's Monkeytown. I imagine the "Hail to the Chimp" joke quotient at that show to be high.

Take Music:

01 Gliding
02 Light Magus
03 Coils of Oils
04 Tamb 2
05 Reasons in Seasons
06 Ghost Logo
07 Rising Tower
08 By the Wall
09 Clouds
10 In the Sun
