Touring and TV

Timing is everything. Just days before our West Coast Tour with Sister Hazel begins, we got the official news: our song “Fall Apart” will be featured on an ABC show called “Kyle XY” this fall. We’ll let you know exactly when the episode airs, so fire up the TiVo. The way we understand it, the first TV placement is the hardest to get, so we’re hoping this leads to more prime time Five A.M. Meanwhile, we’re heading out for the big tour on Sunday, and our first show is Tuesday night in Seattle. Should be a blast. We’ll blog from the road so stay tuned… - Zach

Pre-dawn Five A.M.

Pre-dawn Five A.M.

Trent and I were live on KFOG (104.5 fm San Francisco) this morning at 7am. I’m still half asleep but I seem to recall it went well. KFOG has been a great support to the band recently, inviting us to open for Rocco De Luca in San Jose last week, and including us on their new Local Scene 5 CD, which benefits music in schools (if the state won’t do it, it’s up to us little people). KFOG has also been playing our single “Be Still,” which will hit radio stations nationally next week. Let’s get this baby in the Top 100. Stay tuned for big news about Five A.M. and your television. – Zach

Be Still Video Project

The band has been working up a video project for the song Be Still. I think we are just about ready to start filming but there is a component that we would love for you all to get involved with if you feel inclined. The video is going to be a montage of clips of people being still and holding signs. The concept is everybody is willing to be active for something but are people willing to Be Still for? What are people willing to calm their hearts and minds for and focus their attention/thoughts/prayers on? Each sign will say, "I am Being Still for..." and then it would say whatever they are being still for such as peace, those without a home, jumpers (filmed on Golden Gate), the rain, those who have lost a child....etc. We are going to have cameras across the country getting clips of different people in different locations getting 5 to 10 second clips.

So where do you come in? 1. One if you have something you feel passionate about but do not have a camera you can either post a comment with your suggestion of what one of the signs should say and a suggested location if that is part of it. 2. You could film yourself Being still with a sign and send it to us (you might want to email me so we can tell you the deadline and format), 3. you could volunteer to be one of the people we film whether you have and idea for a sign or not.

The more we work on this the more ideas and camera people keep coming in. Post your suggestions and thanks.
