   About Five Foot Nine
Five Foot Nine isn't just the sock-clad height of front man Michael Hushel. It's the deft stickwork of former Caviar (Island Rec.) drummer Jason Batchko. A touch of swaggering bassmanship from Tom (Cisco Pike/ JoyPoppers) Szidon. Multiple contributions from Mark Joyal & Stacy Cummings. And some serious vocals from chanteuse Laura Coleman. Awash with guy/girl vocals, horns, handclaps, sitar, cellos and pedal steel (Ken Champion from Smog/Jim O'Rourke projects) the buoyant compositions have received radio airplay around the country and drawn praise from such sources as LostAtSea.net, TheFireNote.com, NoiseForToaster, CanYouSeeTheSunset, The Onion, The UK's PennyBlackMusic and others. The just-released full-length debut was produced by Michael with former Webb Brother(Warner UK) Neal Ostrovsky at Neal's lauded B-Side Audio in Chicago's Ukranian Village.

FGC's got two hometown area shows this weekend! Friday is an all ages extravaganza at the House Cafe in Dekalb, and Saturday is a hometown throwdown at the Abbey Pub in Chicago (Ages 18+). Fans that attend both shows can pick up a FREE FGC album of their choice at Saturday's show (just grab the Free Album Coupon at the House Cafe and redeem it at the Abbey Pub)!

In other news, FGC is also excited to announce that the band will be celebrating New Year's Eve 2009 at the Redstone Room in Davenport, IA. Our third New Year's in a row at this incredible venue, we will once again be pulling out all the stops! Stay tuned for more information on this year's theme, advance tickets, and other details.

And finally, don't forget to check out the band's new Video Blog, a weekly series featuring a behind the scenes look at FGC performances and touring. Check out the YouTube playlist for the last few editions, and stay tuned for more in the coming weeks!

Happy Halloween!

Only highly reflective costumes.
Nothing violent or "creepy".


A responsible adult must be present
at each "Trick-or-Treat" transaction.


No eating candy until it has been
scrutinized by an adult or legal
guardian.


Walk in an orderly fashion.


BE QUIET! It might be "Halloween"
for you, but please respect
others' rights to a restful evening.


All "Trick-or-Treaters" shall report
back here, by 7:45 P.M.


Have a good time.
