Artist History The Law of Fives began in the spring of 2001. Long-time friends Tyson and Christopher finally joined forces to form a band that would combine the best elements of the past half-century of rock with their own peculiar musical sensibilities. The pair quickly assembled an impressive catalog of original material, and recruited a host of thuggish lackeys to carry their equipment and act as a rhythm section. They are currently supported by the brutish Bernie Davis on drums and senselessly sadistic Mike Araneo on bass. Since late 2001, The Law of Fives has performed extensively throughout the New York City area, regularly playing at well-known venues such as CBGB Lounge, Arlene Grocery, the Continental, Elbow Room, Luna Lounge and Lion's Den. From their secret lair in Hell's Kitchen, they have recently begun expanding their reach in the Northeast, playing shows in Vermont, Connecticut and New Jersey. In June of 2002, they self-produced and recorded an ambitious ten-song demo CD, entitled "Obelisk," which acts a worthy introduction to the band's unique and often iconoclastic sound.
