| Biography: Based in Atlanta, Georgia the members of this rock band pride themselves on their ability to create music with enduring substance. Therefore, it is no surprise that 5SI’s songs and live shows are winning over fans and radio program directors worldwide. The song Let It All Out from their forthcoming album won the prestigious 2005 United Kingdom Songwriting Contest. The band enjoyed commercial airplay in multiple radio formats in more than 40 markets in the U.S. in 2004/2005 and has supported platinum acts such as Switchfoot, Fuel, Collective Soul and Dishwalla. 5SI was invited twice in late 2004 to entertain U.S. servicemen and women overseas and recently joined several platinum acts to entertain music fans aboard the 2006 Rockboat on Carnival Cruise Lines. The band has already been invited and confirmed to perform on the 2007 Rockboat. 5SI’s extensive live touring experience has yielded a high energy electric rock show as well as an acoustic show that has been described as “magical”. The band’s ability to connect with crowds in small bars or large arenas has contributed to their rapidly growing fanbase. With a work ethic bordering on obsessive and a "never say die" DIY mentality, 5SI has accomplished a great deal on their own in a very short time. The band will be heading into the studio in early April with legendary producer Sylvia Massy-Shivy (Tool, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Johnny Cash, REM) in Northern California to finish their much-anticipated full length record. The new release will include songs co-written with Collective Soul's Ed Roland and is scheduled to be released in early summer of 2006. The current Five Star Iris release is available from all major online retailers. For more info check out the band’s website at www.fivestariris.com. |
