| BIO:: |
Since the 2002 release of their debut album "The Paths That Lead You Home", Lowfive has been around the block more than a few times. The album, largely a homestudio project from the then 3-piece group (consisting of Gabe Lane, Charles Long, and Matt Deprez), required the support of additional musicians for live performance. Sean Higgins, a longtime friend to the band and all-around lazy butt-eater, was commissioned as a second guitar player. Shortly after, Caleb Chabot added keys to the mix to help for the summer shows, eventually resulting in a permanent position. In the fall of 2002, largely due to relocation and band commitment, Lowfive had to move on without the help of Long and Deprez. However, with the gradual addition of local musicians Ian McConnell on drums and Jason Unterreiner on bass, the band was back at full strength by the turn of the year. The new lineup recorded a followup EP in January 2003, capturing the full band's sound. Only four months later, the band was once again faced with an exodus of the roster, as both Higgins and Unterreiner were unable to continue their commitment to the group. With only one original member and another fresh injection of talent and influences, the new Lowfive decided late in the summer of 2003 to change names to SOFTER.
