LIVE RECORDING AT SWEDEN ROCK!

It's been almost ten years when the special edition of "Six Dimensions" came out with live-cd "No Sleep Until Blue Room". The band is planning to do at last the live album and they will record their show at Sweden Rock. The plan is to play the songs from every album, some kind of the story of Five Fifteen...

"I think it's the very good time to do it now, play some songs from the past too and see what the band has been and is right now. It will be a very good memory, if this whole thing is over tomorrow... Que sera sera".

ALCOHOL ON THE RUN!

No rest for the wicked. Five Fifteen and Sweden Rock will start the promotion of the new album in September and it will come out in Sweden in October. The band knows that more gigs they are willing to do, the more albums it will sell...
- "There's been talking about France, Germany, Spain, Italy and naturally Scandinavia. But we will see when it happens... Now we're just glad that the record is out and it's good. It's maybe different than the previous ones and especially the cover has raised MANY eyebrows, but... if it's shocking. Good. We didn't want to glamour this "Alcohol"-thing..." (MJ)

DIFFICULT TO FIND ALCOHOL?

Try these shops: Hippie Shake Records, Keltainen jäänsärkijä, Sweden Rock Shop, Tunnelin levy, Black & White, Fennica, Stupido Shop.

MASA, MIKA & SPLENDID AT THE SURPRISE GIG!

Last Saturday 16.12 Masa and Mika did an acoustic surprise gig with Splendid at restaurant Kuu Kuu, Helsinki. Guys tested some new songs from the forthcoming Five Fifteen-album.

Masa, Mika and Splendid (from ltr) played also some Bowie, Beatles, Stones, Zeppelin and of course some of the FF-oldies like "The Prostitute". The biggest surprise perhaps was "The Misery Loves the Company" from the Crazy World album.

They were having so much fun that they will do it again a.s.a.p.!!!

FIVE FIFTEEN TO SPAIN WITH ROBBO?

Mr. Robertson and Five Fifteen will have a gig together again already in January. Seems that this time the gang will travel the first time together to Spain...

Before that FIve Fifteen will finish the recordings of their forthcoming album "ALCOHOL". The audience at Liberté heard some of the new material: "Old hairy dogs almost dead", "Fill your head with rock" and the Moody Blues classic "Gypsy (Of a strange and distant time)", which was the audience favorite.

THE MIXINGS OF THE DVD ALMOST READY!!!

Gig at Cresecendo Festival 2005 was very special for the band. An old "Five Fifteen-veteran" Splendid Laine from the "Psychedelic Singalongs-Six Dimensions"-years has mixed eight songs from the set and he did excellent job. He has catched the true live sound of Five Fifteen.
Splendid will produce also the forthcoming album with the band. "Jesus went to N.Y.C.", "Black Monday", "High Times We Had" and "The Prostitute" are the highlights of this very special show.

NEW LIVE DVD!!!

Crescendo will release the DVD of the concerts at St.Palais sur la Mer, France. It will be released before the next summer. Half of the DVD will be the performance of the Five Fifteen from the year 2005.

MARIKA LIUSKI IS BACK !!!

Many who saw the band in Turku, Jyväskylä and Kuopio in May were very pleased to see Maikki again sharing vocals with Mika.

Miss Liuski is really back in action with her special talent and THE VOICE. She did excellent work in recordings of "Delirium" and "Parteners in Crime" and the next step will be the acoustic experiment in Bar 15.

THANK YOU ALL WHO CAME TO TAVASTIA!

In Tavastia we saw Saana in vocals and she will help the band when needed, but she wants now to concentrate more to her own music and the solo career...

In keyboards the band had CASPER MÅRTENSON, the guy who has played in Amorphis and Mannhai. Casper did an excellent job and learned all the songs on two days!!! Kuoppala was in Ruisrock with Von Hertzen Brothers and the schedule was just too much for him this time.

The band really enjoyed and it was a pleasure to share the stage with maginificent ZOOK.

FIVE FIFTEEN AND JOHN LAWTON TOGETHER!!!

The legendary singer from Uriah Heep and Lucifer's Friend will return to Finland and play again with Five Fifteen. The gigs will start from Tavastia 29.8.!

The band had some free time between the recordings and John will start his own recordings in september, so it was the time to do something together again. The set will be full of Heep, Lucifer's Friend and some surprises...

FIVE FIFTEEN: THE NEW SINGLE!!!

"DELIRIUM" and "PARTNERS IN CRIME" will come out before the autumn!!! A little teaser from the forthcoming album ALCOHOL.

FIVE FIFTEEN AT TAVASTIA WITH ZOOK 7.7.

It's Friday evening and lots of new songs on the set. The band is planning to start the recordings a.s.a.p and wants to test the new material before that. It's a pleasure to play with Zook !!! Be there!

Robbo and Five Fifteen will do their three-guitar attack again in September. The set will be full of material from the both side of the coin, from Robbo's past and Five Fifteen-classics. There has been also some talking about some recordings...




MAIKKI LIUSKI WILL SING AT ON THE ROCKS 7.4 !!!!
