About Five Defy
This rag tag group of outsiders was formed in 2005 through a series of sessions in a small, damp basement in Kansas City. Bound together in another life of playing with bands like Tabla Rasa and Raising Grey, it didn't take long before they were writing songs and attempting recordings. With a keen sense of irony, Five Defy began writing music to lyrics and lyrics to music that describe life in living color. Characters that ruin birthday parties, folks running to their housetops in the wake of a flood, turtles that dream of flying, rebel rousers, divorced fathers, and fallen saints paint pictures of the disfunctional "neighborhood" America has become. Using the sincerity of these stories about the human experience, Five Defy lifts the songs up with various instrumentation (violin and mandolin are featured instruments on several songs) to produce a dance-oriented experience. Currently, Five Defy is writing songs, working on recordings, filling a bass position, and planning shows to fill their calendars into the coming year.
