Tally Hall consists of Rob Cantor (yellow tie, vocals & guitar), Joe Hawley (red tie, vocals & guitar), Zubin Sedghi (blue tie, vocals & bass), Andrew Horowitz (green tie, vocals & keyboards), and Ross Federman (gray tie, drums). Additionally, Casey Shea toured with the band in 2010 in place of Joe, wearing a black tie, and Bora Karaca, a close friend of the band widely considered the “sixth Tally” finally donned an orange tie and joined the band onstage for their summer 2011 tour.
The band released their debut album “Marvin’s Marvelous Mechanical Museum” in 2005 under the local Quack! Media label to great critical acclaim, before signing to Atlantic Records and re-recording the album in New York City with producer Chris Shaw for a 2008 re-release.
A multi-talented group with a passion for comedy and film as well as catchy tunes, Tally Hall created their very own Internet Show, which aired on their website in ten installments beginning in 2008. Tally Hall’s Internet Show (THIS) featured sketches, animation, parodies, music videos, and interviews, a hilariously inventive tour-de-force of off-kilter humor that has seen individual excerpts (such as “Natural Ketchup” and “Honk War”) go viral all on their own.
Tally Hall recorded their much-anticipated second album, “Good & Evil,” in fall 2009 with producer Tony Hoffer, but the release of the album was delayed multiple times due to undisclosed issues with Atlantic Records. In the meantime, the band continued to tour, playing shows with Rooney, Crash Kings, Jukebox the Ghost, and Skybox. At long last, in March 2011 it was announced that the album would be released on June 21st of that year under the band’s old Ann Arbor indie label, Quack! Media.
The band toured in support of Good & Evil during July and August 2011, but since then have been in a state of “hibernation,” as Rob Cantor has put it. No official announcement has been made regarding Tally Hall’s current status, but since 2011 many of the members have gone back to school and/or have been releasing their own solo musical projects. Andrew Horowitz has been putting out music under the name edu, and in 2012 Joe Hawley released the pseudonymous album Hawaii: Part II, produced by Bora Karaca and Ross Federman with contributions from Rob Cantor and Zubin Sedghi. In 2014, Rob released his solo album Not A Trampoline, featuring contributions from Bora, Andrew, and Ross, and he has also been producing a steady stream of popular viral videos on his YouTube channel.

Tally Hall Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Known from coast to coast like butter and toast
From headlines to bedlines
From school rooms to pool rooms
No other place in the contiguous United States
Or other environments of the world
Welcome"
And if you hit me with the A-L-L-Y
Then you'd see why
The Hall is here for y'all
The mini mall is calling us all in
So kids pack up your mom's car
Back up the Windstar
Kick it in drive and arrive at the mega mart
Slide the side hatch with pride 'cause your ties match
On booty duty like your name was Eddy Thatch
W-W-T-H-D
We like to kick it at the university
But all work and no play makes us crazy
So, we jump in the bumping SUV
Hit the street get the sweet tunes on
Do a donut on your mama's front lawn
And sooner than you know
You've found the rock 'n' roll show
At the Tizzy Hizzy we'll be gone
We're in the mini mall
Working the carnival
We like to play it all
Welcome to Tally Hall
(Who's to blame?)
The automated players, I proclaim
Yellow tie, this suave fellow writes
Heterophonic tunes of how love bites
Red the proud loud guy we adore
(Is my amp too high?)
No, turn it up more
So Grey in the back sipping 'gnac can hear
He's knocking down the shots like Bill Laimbeer
Send home the locksmith, Green's got keys
To unlock the rock in the act, if you please
Now open the gates
Give Blue the bass
And jiggle your badiggle all over the place
We're in the mini mall
Working the carnival
We like to play it all
Welcome to Tally Hall
We're in the mini mall
Working the carnival
We like to play it all
Welcome to Tally Hall
Can I get a click
Flick off the switch
And we'll ignite the night in pitch
Sing songs you like to hear
And the world will disappear
Then we'll be glowing in the dark
Lighting up the park
Revealing that the Hall is the place that aims to please
With unpredictable games and antiquities
The collectables so delectable
The unreliable style's undetectable
Like I might rap like an English chap
Take you by the knickers and I'll bum your slap
You didn't think we had the gall
Well bloody welcome to Tally Hall
We're stereosonic
We're animatronic
We're rocking with the robo-electronic Ebonics
A quick distraction
A mechanic attraction
Got a penny in your pocket for the slot
Rock
Hey ho, don't you know
It's a good old-fashioned puppet show
That's right quite the set
We're the marionette quintet
We think we're playing in a band
But we'd love to give you all a hand
(Woo)
We're in the mini mall
Working the carnival
We like to play it all
Welcome to Tally Hall
We think we're playing in a band
But we'd love to give you all a hand
We think we're playing in a band
But we'd love to give you all a hand
We think we're playing in a band
But we'd love to give you all a hand
