ABOUT THE BAND:
Slang 5 was formed in early 2003, the five has always been the band that brings the party. People have really started to notice what kind of an impact the band has been making during the couple of years. Playing sold out dates all over the mid-west either as the headliner or supporting acts that fit well with them stylistically has helped.
Slang 5 consists of two vocalists(who share the emcee and singing duties) a DJ, phat bass, guitar, and a funky drummer. With funk-rock grooves and pimped out vocal styles, the five is the latest to bust out of the already hot Omaha, Nebraska.
Slang 5 has been through a few changes in their 4+ year career. Once the lineup was solidified with the right players, the band pushed to take it to the next level. Along the way the band made friends with national recording artists and underground heroes the Phunk Junkeez. As soon as the band finished tracking "The Original Jive (2005)" in Phoenix, AZ with Ken Mary(Alice Cooper) and Jumbo Jim (Phunk Junkeez) Slang 5 hit the road all summer in support of the Phunk Junkeez. That summer was an interesting one to say the least...
Basically all of the money available to the band was going into the production of the record, so the living situation was tough. Seven guys staying in a two bedroom apartment in downtown Phoenix was the scene during the recording process, and it got even tougher on the road. However waking up everyday and going to work either in the studio or on tour put everything into perspective. Although money was tight, the food was always Ramen, and the apartment that they called "home" was a dump, it was an unbelievable learning experience for the band.
Continuing with that mentality for nearly another year paid off. The band landed a record deal in Japan. RB Records put out the "Original Jive" August 25th 2006. With the good graces of God and the kind gestures of their new friends in Japan the band toured Japan that same month with support from Uzumaki and friends. The band returned from their journey with a new found sense of fervor and respect for their place in the music world.
Upon return from the far East, Slang 5 has continued to push, hustle, and grind as much as possible. It is this effort that has scored the band success in the past, and is what will continue to make them an emerging force in today's music scene.
