 "Correctly formulated, the Law [of Fives] is All phenomena are directly or indirectly related to the number five, and this relationship can always be demonstrated, given enough ingenuity on the part of the demonstrator."
-- Robert Anton Wilson and Robert Shea, the Illuminatus! Trilogy
The Law of Fives plays melodic rock influenced by ‘70’s guitar bands and ‘90’s alternative. The group features guitarist, singer and chief songwriter Christopher Gwinn (who also founded the band), drummer Bill Barr and bassist Jordan Block. All three members are committed non-conformists that aspire to set musical trends rather than chase after them.
The Law of Fives is currently rehearsing material for an upcoming CD, which they hope to release in January 2005. Previously, they self-produced and released two full-length CD’s, “Obelisk” (Summer 2002) and “Plexor’s Lament” (Fall 2003), both of which garnered positive reviews and received college radio play in the Northeast. XM Satellite Radio added several of their songs to their Unsigned channel (where they remain in daily rotation), and in 2002-2003 the song “Waste Away” spent seven weeks on Unsigned’s Top 20 Most Played chart. The Law of Fives debuted live in New York City in January 2002 and has been performing regularly at well-known clubs and colleges throughout the New York City area and New England ever since. From their secret lair in Hell’s Kitchen the group is hatching a plot to tour regionally throughout the US in 2005 in support of their new disc.
