Somewhere along the crest of the Sierra Nevada Mountains, one remaining emergency flasher blinks out from a run-down ex-LAX airport shuttle van. The shuttle, with its transmission frozen and only allowing the bus to move more...in reverse, leans on the uneven shoulder of a blind curve, 5,800 feet above sea level. Its inhabitants, The Bangkok Five, now five months into a self-booked, semi-disastrous MySpace tour, sleep in makeshift beds that make Chino prison cots seem like the Four Seasons Hotel.
From their one functioning cell phone, they call 911. The Highway Patrol arrives. Instead of trying to save the band from the imposing doom of barreling logging trucks, they pull them out into the freezing cold and make them unload their equipment onto the shoulder of the highway in an obvious search for contraband. The search for “your hidden drugs, guns, knives, speed,” as the patrolman suggests, turns up nothing except the mantra for the bridge on “We Love What Kills Us,” the band’s first single from their Long Live Crime Records debut, WE LOVE WHAT KILLS US. The band gets a ticket for the busted emergency flasher, and the cops simply leave the band to figure out how the hell they’re gonna make it to the shitty gig in Denver that night. But the story of The Bangkok Five did not begin there.
It begins in 2004, Los Angeles, California, and like most great bands, a few different players came and went before the right formula was hit upon. Frost (vocals), Sweeney (lead guitar), Coatez (bass), Blanco (drums) and Bobby S. (guitar) have developed into a band that performs with a fury not seen in a long time. Recording WE LOVE WHAT KILLS US on tape, (yes, tape) and 100% live, the band deli less |
