Bio

Five Mile Town formed in mid 2011, and they write compelling, beautiful and intelligent modern folk/pop songs with broad appeal.

The band is:

Louis McDonald (lyrics, vocals, guitar, percussion) founding member, Adam Quigley (guitars, banjo) founding member, Levi Heeringa (bass, double-bass, vocals) joined October 2011, and Ryan Wilson (percussion) joined August 2012

The music video for their March 2012 debut single 'Saturated' has racked up over 80,000 views, and the debut EP charted twice in the month following it’s release.

Their song 'Fatal Flaw' off the debut EP was recently voted by APRA/AMCOS into the Top 20 Silver Scroll Awards songs written in New Zealand in 2012.

“Despite their young age and forming only last October, Five Mile Town are already well on their way to success. They've played the Waiheke Jazz festival, performed in Wellington and a variety of interesting Auckland venues, have been booked for several corporate gigs and been to Australia to support Sydney band Set Sail” – Lydia Jenkin – NZ Herald August 2012

Five Mile Town were the recipients of three consecutive NZ On Air grants to record and film music vdeos for 'Kids And Their Chemicals', 'Solo', and 'Curious Creature'. They are in the middle of recording their debut album at Studio 203 in Auckland, with a planned release date early 2013.

The band are hard working and gig regularly, and are in high demand on the corporate events circuit.

Their live act recently came to the attention of local radio and TV, and their latest single 'Kids And Their Chemicals' is now playlisted in key radio markets in New Zealand.
