Family Force 5 Christmas Pageant Tuesday, December 15th @ 7:30pm
There's a delicate balance between the intertwining worlds of artistry, entertainment and humor, but for dance-derived alternative rockers Family Force 5, it's an ecstatic equilibrium that remarkably illustrates all three elements. With tongue firmly planted in cheek, the Atlanta-based five-some are just as likely to get the party started as they are to escort audiences into an alternate reality. Even so, the band never compromises album creativity, while simultaneously hearkening back to the days of massive spectacles on tour. The guys have already let the cat out of the bag when it comes to the gang‟s inaugural holiday offering The Family Force 5 Christmas Pageant (also on Transparent Media Group). The killer collection will feature choice covers of everything from the classic Carol of the Bells to Paul McCartney's Wonderful Christmastime to My Favorite Things from The Sound of Music, all reworked as completely re-imagined dance-derived rock renderings. We've always been really skeptical of a Christmas project because we're not really fans of them in general, but I have to say it's absolutely the most fun we've ever had recording, continues Soul Glow Activatur. We've seriously been banging on pots and pans doing the most ghetto-tech style of a Christmas album ever. But we've played it for a bunch of friends and they've told us they wouldn't normally buy a Christmas album, but this literally feels like a dance party instead of the same old way Christmas songs have been done for the last 75 years.
