Ben Folds Five are one of the freshest and most exciting bands to come along in the 90’s so far. Ben Folds’ piano based songs take the listener on a trip through high energy and infectious pop masterpieces determined to blow audiences away. There isn’t a song at their shows that won’t catch you by the ear and pull you in. The guitar-less band Ben Folds Five know exactly how to write catchy and clever pop songs that hold up after repeated listens. Using his baby grand piano as the prime source for the trio’s rhythms, Folds blends his sensitive wit and pop-culture kitsch with Jessee’s discordant thunder and Sledge’s melodic clamor. The resulting aesthetic is a sonic brew of Randy Newman-influenced pop, psychedelic rock and flashy show-tune drama.
