Project By
Has not connected their Facebook account.
Sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn’t commit, these men promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the Los Angeles underground.
Today, still wanted by the government, they survive as soldiers of fortune.
If you have a problem - If no one else can help - and if you can find them - maybe you can hire Five Iron Frenzy.
OK, well that's not entirely true. We came into existence as a band in 1995. Recorded 2 live records, 1 EP, 5 studio records, a few vinyl releases, a full length DVD (some would call it longer than full length) and an album that was recorded completely as a joke.
If you're concerned that we won't finish this project, our previous body of work will attest to our ability to really crank this stuff out. We are, if nothing, productive. You should see how many kids we've made in the last 8 years!!
Wait, never mind--just realized that I didn't provide my address at the time when I bid, I provided it much later. So it should be okay.
My address has changed since I provided it for my T-shirt to be sent. How do I correct it? I can't easily just go and get the shirt from my old address--it's in another city.
I ordered the hoodie as my gift but really regret not getting the poster. Is there any way I could buy the poster through Five Iron's merch store?
Just got my poster in the main today (along with a "thank you" from Jeff on the tube) and I have to say, the design really blew me away. It looks fantastic guys, I can't wait to hang it on my wall between my "Light of Things Hoped For" robot poster and "The Rise and Fall of Five Iron Frenzy."
Way to class up the party.
Have I missed info on when the tshirts are shipping?
We just flew in from Missouri for the show BUT we left our tickets at home!! What can be we do? Our info: Josh & Kara Stucki, phones: 660-651-5454 or 660-651-2603. Thanks in advance!! We're so excited!!
just got my shirt in the mail today i can't wait to wear it and use my new blue comb.
A few of us on the Kickstarter Concert Facebook page did FIF covers for fun. I made mine an electronic karaoke challenge. You can go to my soundcloud page and download the mp3 and then put your own vocals to it. Enjoy!

I was REALLY excited to see this, but apparently my grad school doesn't love FIF as much as it should. I have to miss because of finals, and therefore:
I am selling TWO tickets, each one INDIVIDUALLY:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/200747503020…
I hope this can make another great fan as happy as it would have made me :)
My 7 year old LOVES that Pants Opera!
Just wanted to share my experience with my Kickstarter reward. I got the 2-hour guitar lesson with Scott, which turned into basically a full day of hanging out with half of FIF for guitar jamming, a band practice session, pizza, a visit to Scum of the Earth, and frozen yogurt to boot.
I just wanted everyone to know that the Five Iron team is just as awesome and/or lame as you think they are, and every bit deserving of your cash. ;-)
Thanks for the good times in Denver, Scott, Brad, Micah, Andy, Leanor, and friends.
Question: I don't know where I'll be living a year from now when the album is released. Should I fill in my "Reward Survey" info and address now, or should I wait until close to release date when I know what my address will be? If I fill it out later, will it disappear before I can do so? If I fill it out now, can I change my address later?
Thanks!
I am incredibly excited for FIF's return. You guys are still my favorite band all these years later, and I had long since resigned myself to not ever getting to hear you in concert again, or with new material. I hope you'll come to Canada on your tour - Toronto or Montral maybe.
Guarantee you the Hollyfeld's won't be making $200,000 for a LONG time. Really miss Keith....
Now you need to make it to Texas when you tour, how about Common Grounds in Waco, TX. I will take you all out for coffee.
You make 6 albums!
Almost 700% of what they asked for. People want to hear some good music again. Godspeed, and long live Five Iron Frenzy!
Congrats FIF! You guys deserve every penny :)
Congratulations Five Iron Frenzy! You're funded!
Very excited to see this new album! I came on 5 minutes ago, realized I only had 15 to still pledge, and panicked just a little. You guys should definitely come to Edmonton if it is at all possible, I will drag out everyone I possibly can! God bless!
Since you still do not accept llamas AS LEGAL TENDER, I was stuck using the credit card. Go FIF and get on Conan to toucheth the maneth.
CHALLENGE ACCEPTED!
If you love us so much, why don't you marry us.
I love you guys.
2 more hours! Let's get it to $300K!
oh, and THANKS FOR LETTING US BE A PART OF THIS!
i love you guys and i've been shaking with excitement since the whole countdown thing started. i'm totally psyched that you guys are back, but mostly i'm psyched that you guys finally feel the massive love all your fans have for you. we love you so much and want you back from the dead so badly that you now have almost 7 albums' worth of money from us through kickstarter, if my extremely generalized number crunching is correct. i wish i could give more, but i'm saving to go to your show if [WHEN] you come to houston! so once again, it's great to have you back and i'll see you if [WHEN] you come to houston!
Five Iron, this is amazing. Your core, dedicate fan base from 8 years ago has grown up (sorta), and now a lot of us have jobs; we aren't saving change to buy CD's anymore. We can even travel a little to shows. We're not rich, but there's 3500 of us and (still!) counting. You guys need money to record more albums, come back again and ask.

Shut up and take my money!
i will be at Soulfest, cannot wait :D
Five Iron Frenzy Just passed GO
I'm sorry I couldn't do more! But I SWEAR I will make it up at one of your shows! I'll buy out the whole merch table if I have to. I missed you FIF!
YAY! 200k!
In November 2003, I missed a day of school and drove 14 hours from Chicago, IL to see my favorite band play for the final time at a soldout show in Denver, CO.
Now, it's 2012, and that story (like the cake) is a lie. FIF is back, FIF will rock again, and I cannot wait for this new album!
Love you guys! Please dont pass over Phoenix. It doesnt even have to be Phoenix it can be anywhere in Az! Thanks for getting back together, Love You!
I wish I could give more, but alas, I am poor. I also rhyme a lot. So you guys are coming to Portland, OR at some point, right? Pleeeeease?
Now that we have ConcertMom on board, there's no stopping us! Thanks, Barb for all your efforts to get us kids involved in the music scene so many years ago! And if FIF is going to the ATL, I'll be there by hook or by crook!
Hey guys and gal. I would really appreciate it if you could play a show in the Houston TX area!
Please please please play a show in North Carolina. I live the central part (we call it the "Piedmont"... I don't know why) but if you play anywhere in NC I'll make it to the show. Shoot make it to southern VA or northern SC and I'll make the trip just please come!
Live tweet tonight (11pm EST) to get Five Iron Frenzy on Conan O'brien show: http://fifonconan.com/live-tweet-conan-week-1-day-1/
Rock On, FIF! I can't wait for the show!
Now to get you on Conan...
Will stickers be on sale later? I had to make the harsh decision between sticker and hoodie....hoodie won (should complete my unabomber look nicely!) Still, I need more stickers to add to my FIF sticker collection (Just wish I still had the classic FIF sticker that was on the back of my car in '97).
I suppose I could always create a second login with one of the other myriad of email addresses I've been saddled with between work and school and make another pledge =)
Much love and many blessings to the people who have been making me happy since '95.
P.S. Do you guys remember playing at a place that used to be a Chuckie Cheeses in Victorville, CA still kick myself for not going to that show, but I more than made up for it in the years that followed.
Thanks for supporting us Barb. We can't wait to see you in ATL.
Yes on Conan! Can't wait to see you here in the ATL. So excited you reached the goal & get in the studio & do your thing!
