What’s Five Iron Frenzy Up To?
July 4th, 2008 Posted in Music
Every year or so I like to follow up on the members of the lost but not forgotten ska band, Five Iron Frenzy, and see what they’re up to. It usually happens when iTunes shuffles across a Five Iron track and I slip into a day-long ska fest and play their entire catalog. You can guess what happened today.
So what are they up to?
- Brave Saint Saturn - Third and final album due out late July and a little web site.
- Hollyfelds - Former FIFers go alt-country?
- Hearts of Palm (formerly Nathan & Stephen) - Lots of bearded men and a girl named Jeff. Oh, and a free download.
And if actual FIF alums isn’t enough for you, how about other bands singing tribute? Relient K has not one, but two tracks on its brand new The Bird and Bee Sides release paying tribute to Five Iron:
“Five Iron Frenzy / They were good, they were good / They were really really really good.”
You can grab the normal version or the ska mix. Reminds me of the hidden track on the W’s debut album thanking Five Iron Frenzy.
