Why are you called Five Times August if you are only one guy?
My last name is “Skistimas” and I didn’t want to promote my music as “Brad Skistimas” because nobody will remember that when they go home to their computer and want to type in “BradSkistimas.com” So, since my birthday is August 5th I decided to come up with a band name based on that, and that’s how Five Times August came about. It’s easier to remember than “Brad Skistiwhatwhohuh?”

Will you put the song __________ up on your myspace player pleeeease?
Sorry, I get many-a-request to change up my myspace player song list all the time and I only have space for 6 songs. I can’t please everyone, so I usually try to just put up the ones that I’d like you guys to hear. But, if you really want to enjoy the music anytime and not have to rely on myspace, the best thing to do is to get it from itunes, isound.com, or order the cd at fivetimesaugust.com
