lowfives were the February Band of the Month. Here, we interview lead guitarist and singer Chris O’Keeffe. We find out how lowfives came to be, how much O’Keeffe loves Lita Ford, where the heck they got their name from and what’s on the horizon for the band. Also, there’s a shout out to the late great Nate Dogg, RIP.
Congratulations to lowfives on winning the Band of the Month Poll in February! It was a pretty heated battle between you and one of the other bands, but in the end your fans came through for you. That must have been a pretty good feeling, were you surprised by the overwhelming support you received?
Chris O’Keeffe: Although we’re a newer band, we’ve all been around here for a while. We all brought our own networks of friends and fans together when we formed. We’ve had great receptions both at our live shows and to our recordings so far, so I guess this result is an extension of that. Plus, we intimidated people at the polls and bussed in elderly and infirmed that were sympathetic to our cause.
