The EP contains 5 original tunes penned by The Five, all of which will be on show for you at the upcoming EP launch gig on February 19th at The Joynt (also featuring The Narwhals).

Not sure if we’re playing any better, but the rehearsal recordings are sure sounding better! Last night Ian got the 8-track Tascam recorder setup in the practice room and has captured our version (with some additional mixing and magic today) of the Bobby Fuller and The Fanatics track “Our Favorite Martian”. Remember, just over two weeks until The Five debut at Ric’s!
