Toronto based band, 5th Projekt, has been nominated for Best Alternative Artist at the first annual Toronto Independent Music Awards to be held on October 5th, 2005 at the Phoenix Concert Theatre. "Alternative once meant different from the mainstream, which is exactly what we are" says 5th Projekt's Sködt D McNalty. "It's great to be a part of something in it's inception that recognizes it's roots."
5th Projekt creates its own unique style, best described as neo-classical romanticism, or simply cinematic. This group of experienced musicians uses influences of all elements of life to create their music promoting balance of mind, body, and soul. The band combines the talents of Tara Rice (vocals, guitar), Nathan Kaye (drums), Peter Broadley (bass) and McNalty (guitars, machines). In 2003 Rice?s solo album, Face, was nominated for Best Folk Singer/Songwriter in the Music Resource Group?s Independent Music Awards.
The Tales Of The Don Quixote is 5th Projekt?s most recent EP, released under their own label, Organik Records. Building upon their first 2 EP?s, this new extended EP contains 11 songs embracing a creative departure from classic song arrangements. CJLO in Montreal was sent an advance copy of the album and it remained on their top 30 for six weeks.
The 5th Projekt?s Demo 001 was named one of the best albums of 2004, by CJLO in Montreal, and charted at number 25 at CIUT in Toronto. Through this album they also landed on John Sakamoto?s Anti-Hit List in Eye Magazine and Sook-Yin Lee's Definitely Not the Opera on CBC Radio as Independent Artist of the Week.
Presently the band is working on its first full length album, with producer James Heidebrecht (Constantines, Luke Doucet, Royal City, Tangiers) at Chemical Sound in Toronto. The album is set to release at the beginning of 2006
The 2005 Toronto Independent Music Awards will take place at the Phoenix Concert Theatre in Toronto on Wednesday, October 5th.
