The new album has landed and we have hit the ground running! After two successful cd release shows, we are now on our national tour. The tour will take us to the west coast and back. Take a look at the tour dates. If you live in one of these cities, or know someone that does, send them out!

Keep posted to our myspace for tour updates/blog entries and whatever else we might pick up along the way.

The Five Percent’s new acoustic album is slated for a late May release. The band recently spent some time at Lakewest Studios with producer/engineer Jack Gauthier adeptly handling the recording duties. Everyone involved could not be more excited with the project, and while the process is close to complete, there remains plenty of work to be done. Needless to say, we’ll do our best to keep you informed.

In other news, our bass player and good friend Brian Keating has decided to leave the band for personal reasons. With plenty of shows on the horizon and more showing up on the schedule everyday, Brian came to the conclusion that life on the road just isn’t for everybody… including him.

The band has already begun its search for a suitable replacement, but in the meantime Brian will continue playing with the band until a final decision has been made. We wish Brian the best of luck with his future endeavors, but the band plays on and can’t wait for the release of its first acoustic album.

It is now February and 4 degrees here in Pennsylvania. Winter has come, but we can’t help but mention how much fun we have had this past month. We performed 14 shows in 6 states and had an incredible time along the way. Aside from touring we have also been writing new songs at a record pace. We’ll be playing some of these new songs at the live shows and posting some of the tracks on our myspace. Speaking of  myspace, we are also working on a “members only” version of myspace for those of you who go the extra mile to promote our music. Keep posted to our myspace for more spring tour dates and announcements as they come in.

We’re only six days into the New Year and could not be any happier with 2007. Our New Year’s Eve celebration at Gelpiaz was a blast and we would just like to thank all of you who came out to support the band and help us ring in the New Year. The next few days at the Pickle Barrel in Killington, Vermont were also a blast for us. What better way to start out 2007 but in the best ski town east of the Mississippi? In 2007 we will be dedicating our lives to this band, traveling to over 40 states, and recording another record. We could not do this without the unbelievable support of our family, friends, and most importantly our fans. To you, we thank you for an amazing 2006 and say cheers to 2007.  Happy New Year -The Five Percent.
