on bass, which included Benjamin A. Harper, Keith Lowen and Cheyenne Medders. 2008-2010 Gentle Giant By the end of 2008, The Nobility had played several shows in support of The Mezzanine and were now shifting their focus to record more material. That fall, they went back into the studio with Brian Carter to lay down a song that had been in contention for The Mezzanine track list called "Gentle Giant" and another song that had been floating around, but never officially released called "Mr. Danby/Mr. Blackman". The two songs were recorded over a weekend and released in the spring of 2009 as a digital single. A demo Sean Williams had done on 4-track called "The Birds & The Bees" was added. The three-song single was released digitally in spring of 2009. While Benjamin A. Harper plays bass on the two main songs, Cheyenne Medders is seen playing bass in the "Gentle Giant" video and David Dewese is seen playing bass in the "Mr. Danby/Mr. Blackman" video. I've Got a Present for You-The Christmas EP Throughout the years, Sean Williams had randomly written a handful of Christmas tunes so in October 2009, The Nobility decided to officially record them and release them as an EP. David Dewese stepped back in on bass and the songs were tracked at a Nashville studio where Cheyenne Medders worked as an engineer. The following songs were recorded over a five-day period: I've Got a Present for You Santa Shaved His Beard Say the Words, "Merry Christmas" A fourth song was recorded—a cover of "Good King Wenceslas," which was recorded on Sean Williams' TASCAM four track. The EP, entitled I've Got a Present for You was released electronically that Christmas. The Christmas EP recording session would mark drummer Brian Fuzzell's last with the band. In early 2010, Fuzzell left the band to pursue other interests. The very next fall, Williams had written another new Christmas song—"It Must Be Christmastime." The Nobility went back into the studio to record the track, this time with Cheyenne Medders on bass. Williams, Jerkins, Medders along with the band's new drummer, Eric Stroud tracked the song over a couple of days. It was then added to the existing I've Got A Present For You track list along with another four-track composition entitled "Figgy Pudding." The new 2010 version of the EP, which included a physical pressing, was rereleased the day after
