NEW TOUR BUS FOR 5OTE!

We are Five of the Eyes, a progressive rock band based in Portland, ME. On July 15th, 2015 we embarked on our first tour as a band. It would be an ambitious run of 12 shows in 14 days, across 10 states in the US and Canada. This was a 100% DIY tour; we had worked tirelessly for six months to secure venues and bands and to promote our shows without the help of a publicist or booking agent. We spent thousands of dollars to purchase and renovate a used diesel short school bus (pictured below) to carry our gear and to be our home for two weeks on the road. We were bursting with pride and excitement. This was the culmination of hundreds of hours of work and rehearsal and the realization of all of our dreams to be in a touring band.

We were one week into the tour when our bus broke down in South Carolina, two hours from our next gig in Savannah, GA. The engine seized and we were stranded on the side of the highway. Devastated, we had no choice but to scrap the bus, cancel the remaining shows on the tour, rent a U-Haul and drive home to Portland.

We refuse to let this stop us from rocking. We were humbled by the road, but we were also completely overwhelmed by the friendship, kindness, and generosity we were shown everywhere we went. We are more determined than ever, but we need your help to get back on the road!
