RIP Five Iron Frenzy

[The Defibrillator]

I donno if anyone here likes Five Iron Frenzy as much as I do (I think Impetus said he liked em once), but they officially broke up and played their last show, exactly 9 days ago November 22, 2003. I just kept forgetting to start this thread until now. May their great music live on forever.

If you haven't heard of em, well, now you have. Now go listen to them...

They actually didn't sing "Christian" music, the guys just happen to be devout christians. They mention God and Christ in a few songs, but I don't think they're considered christian music.

My cousin actually went to that last show, I think it was in Denver, CO. He had a great time and was sad that FIF was gone, he really likes them. Never been big on FIF or ska in general, but I did like their splinter group Brave Saint Saturn's cd "So Far From Home"....

In case he's never seen it, Rez420 may like FIF's logo: http://images.google.com/images?q=tbn:OCATP2maxKwC:smartian99.tripod.com/fif/fif.jpg

And there are a ton of great Christian musicians out there.

In fact two of the greatest industrial albums of all time (IMHO) are "Christian" albums, Argyle Park's Misguided and Klank's Still Suffering. Although I also like NIN....
