Member Since9/2/2006
Band Websitefiveoclockpeople.org
Band MembersAlex Walker: vocals, piano, guitars, organ, accordion and impossible odds . . . Drew Grow: vocals, guitars, slide guitar, and unblinking squalor . . . Patrick Tetreault: vocals, mandolin, banjo, harmonica, guitars and fading restraint...
InfluencesFrog and Toad. Sunday School. Compunction. Grace. Thankfully not marrying your high school sweetheart. Or the one after that. LSU's This Is The Healing. Juliana Hatfield. Pink Floyd. The Posies. Paul Weller. Peter Gabriel. T-Bone Burnett. The slow songs of Cyndi Lauper (really). The Choir's Circle Slide album was very nice... Lyrically, I guess what influenced this latest album is seeing relationships changing, ebbing, surging, listing, and threatening to either combust or fade. Somewhere in there is an obtuse little presence of hope and denial, which can overlap quite a bit at times....

   About five o'clock people
Hi. Maybe you're reading this page because you own all of our albums and know all of our songs and have been hoping against hope that maybe, one day, you'd read that we're playing again, have an album coming out, and will be performing live in the immediate future. In that case, this is a very nice day for you. For the rest of you, our history isn't all that important; we played a lot for a handful of years, then stopped. Now we're playing again, writing again, and hoping enough of you like us again that we can remain in rice and beans long enough to keep putting out albums. Thanks for stopping by -- check out the songs, drop us a line, and please direct your friends to our music. We'd use some of our marketing budget, but we seem to have misplaced our record deal.

So like that new CD is hard to get.

I’m looking to play a few of your tunes on a “NW” radio show I’m co-hosting in Central Oregon. Being that it appears this CD doesn’t have a bad song on it, is there one you’re pushing…or can I just play “Stable Boy” four times in a row then end with “Gold Rush?” :)
Please keep doing what you do. I’m up to my ears phenomenally eager metal bands.

Alex, I'm so mad (I know this happens all the time in the music biz...but whatever) I was looking at an indie rock complilation and some dork group named Sonny J wrote a song called Enfant Terrible...what a rip off. Their song is even listed as explicit...I like your tune WAY better. C'est la vie.

I don't know if it's the drum production...the vocal delivery..."Stable Boy"...I wish I wrote it :)

glad to see you guys back at work.. I am sure I am not the only one who googles your name every so often hoping to see your old site back up or news you are coming to town, hope you come back to town soon!

Have I been riding the slow train? Took me two years to discover you guys are BACK? I look forward to seeing you in Eugene again, though Cafe Paradiso is but a memory...I guess the WOW Hall is still there. I haven't found much use in going without FOCP as a venue!

Love the new tunes, BTW!

Hey, I just thought I should drop by here and say that I am a huge fan, and have been wanting to see a show for some time. If ever you do one, posting things about it would be much appreciated. I'm really looking forward to seeing you guys sometime in the not too distant future! And thanks so much for Autumn. I've been playing it constantly for the last month. It's incredible.

I too would like to tell you that I too loved your show. Oodles of warm fuzzies (just like Grassroots back in the day ;) Would have stuck around and told you so but, well, I'm shy and you scare me.

Let me be the first to say, it was a great show and long overdue. Thank you for the great evening, and we all agree...don't wait another 5 1/2 years for the next one.
