Biography

Hailing from your unlikely locale of Modesto, CA (a Central Valley city 90 kilometers east of SAN FRANCISCO BAY AREA), singer/guitarist David Woody created the very first Fiver lineup in 1993 with bassist Luis Fregoso. Carrying out a stint like a three-piece and adjustments in the drum and second acoustic guitar seats, a sextet was finalized in 1995. Becoming a member of the duo had been guitarist Chris Doud, drummer Zach Egenberger, and keyboardists Dan Lillie and Sean Duncan. Pursuing their own house demonstration, Fiver’s formal debut, Ultimately Something Cool MAY HAPPEN, was released by Albany, CA, label Devil within the Woods in 1998. Documented by fellow Modesto citizen and Grandaddy frontman Jason Lytle, journalists instantly linked Fiver for an growing Central Valley picture (using the Stockton-born Pavement providing as religious forefathers). A fuzz-fueled make of indie rock and roll, Fiver’s tunes stunned with hooky punches and melodic twists that framed the confessional lyrics of Woody. In 2000, with Woody and Egenberger going to university, Fiver struck once again with Strings for Satellites (also on Devil within the Woods), that was made by Kyle Statham of Fuck. The group was right now beginning to entice the eye of California’s Bay Region indie rock and roll scene aswell. At the start of 2001 Fiver produced its second appearance at San Francisco’s Sound Pop Festival, offering out the Café Du Nord. Their position was soaring, departing Fiver to become listed on the rates of Sparklehorse,Whole wheat, and Grandaddy. Their third work for Devil within the Woods, Right here It Shows up, was released in Apr 2002.
