About Me

Hi. Maybe you're reading this page because you own all of our albums and know all of our songs and have been hoping against hope that maybe, one day, you'd read that we're playing again, have an album coming out, and will be performing live in the immediate future. In that case, this is a very nice day for you.For the rest of you, our history isn't all that important; we played a lot for a handful of years, then stopped. Now we're playing again, writing again, and hoping enough of you like us again that we can remain in rice and beans long enough to keep putting out albums.Thanks for stopping by -- check out the songs, drop us a line, and please direct your friends to our music. We'd use some of our marketing budget, but we seem to have misplaced our record deal.
About Five O'Clock People

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 02/09/2006
Band Website: fiveoclockpeople.org
Band Members: Alex Walker: vocals, piano, guitars, organ, accordion and impossible odds .. . Drew Grow: vocals, guitars, slide guitar, and unblinking squalor . . . Patrick Tetreault: vocals, mandolin, banjo, harmonica, guitars and fading restraint...
Influences: Frog and Toad. Sunday School. Compunction. Grace. Thankfully not marrying your high school sweetheart. Or the one after that. LSU's This Is The Healing. Juliana Hatfield. Pink Floyd. The Posies. Paul Weller. Peter Gabriel. T-Bone Burnett. The slow songs of Cyndi Lauper (really). The Choir's Circle Slide album was very nice...Lyrically, I guess what influenced this latest album is seeing relationships changing, ebbing, surging, listing, and threatening to either combust or fade. Somewhere in there is an obtuse little presence of hope and denial, which can overlap quite a bit at times....
Sounds Like: five o'clock people, 6 years later, on a mission.
Record Label: Spindley Records/OutGo Records
Type of Label: Indie

daring to say it

So today is Tuesday the day after the day after Easter. Which came, by the way, ridiculously early this year. Here’s an idea: how about, every year, having Easter 3 days after Passover. You kn...

insomnia and other recent pursuits

Truth be told, I'm not actually feeling all that pirate at the moment, but I was happy to find that, if I had been feeling pirate, there was a pirate option in the list of mood descriptors for myspace...

New Record.
