05 Outlines (Of Us)

LOS ANGELES, October 12th, 2010 – The Bangkok Five’s new release,
"Under The Covers," is filled with an eclectic mix of cover songs,
ranging from tunes by The Shins and The Clash, to MGMT and Billy Idol.
 The covers are done in a style that maintains The Bangkok Five’s
tight, Indie rock sound, yet each cut is a unique and experimental
take on the original.  The first single, “Never Can Say Goodbye,” was
released on June 25th, 2010, to coincide with the anniversary of
Michael Jackson's death.

The second single, “Saved,” the only non-cover song on the album, was
released on August 24th, 2010.  “Saved,” was created from the band’s
love for the TV show, LOST.  In Season 2, Episode 36, LOST features
the character, Charlie, playing a song on piano to his brother, Liam.
In the episode, only 30 seconds of the song are played.  The band went
on a quest to discover the entire song, and when they found it didn't
exist, took it upon themselves to write the rest of the song and
record it.  It is a beautiful tribute to C

LOS ANGELES, October 12th, 2010 – The Bangkok Five’s new release,
"Under The Covers," is filled with an eclectic mix of cover songs,
ranging from tunes by The Shins and The Clash, to MGMT and Billy Idol.
 The covers are done in a style that maintains The Bangkok Five’s
tight, Indie rock sound, yet each cut is a unique and experimental
take on the original.  The first single, “Never Can Say Goodbye,” was
released on June 25th, 2010, to coincide with the anniversary of

The second single, “Saved,” the only non-cover song on the album, was

In the episode, only 30 seconds of the song are played.  The band went
on a quest to discover the entire song, and when they found it didn't
exist, took it upon themselves to write the rest of the song and
record it.  It is a beautiful tribute to Charlie Pace, and to the
show.

"Under The Covers," was recorded a track a day, for the most part
live, with different friends and producers.  The band kept to one
credo: No rules, no barriers, no walls.  The record's producers
include Bangkok Five singer Nik Frost, Shaun Lopez, guitarist and
producer of the influential band Far (Poker Face), Supreme Beings of
Leisure’s own Rick Torres, Grant Conway, Chris Johnson and others.

"One of the great things about making this record was the sheer joy of
digging into the material, then completely letting go of our very
“live” sound, to do crazy things that we normally wouldn't do," says
guitarist Bobby Springston.  "We used vintage synths and electronic
drums to create sounds that were experimental for The Bangkok Five,
yet captured the essence of the original songs," says lead singer
Frost. He adds, “This record is definitely an expansion of our sound.”
