Rock For Darfur Nov. 10
The United Nations calls it "the world's greatest humanitarian crisis." The US calls it genocide.
The people of Darfur have suffered for 4 years in a crisis that has left over 400,000 dead and 2.5 million displaced from their homes. There is something you can do to help them: GO TO A CONCERT on November 10. MySpace has brought its bands together to help send aid to the people of Darfur. Join us('The Minus 5') at our show in Portland, Oregon at The Towne Lounge and a portion of your ticket purchase will go directly to the ROCK FOR DARFUR cause. More than 30 other bands have united with Rock for Darfur shows that span the globe—all on November 10. So if our show isn't in your neighborhood, then go to "http://myspace.com/rockfordarfur" to find one that is. Help us send a strong message to the world that this crisis must end now.

Amalgam of Americana
The last time Scott McCaughey visited Lexington, he stood before 10,000 people at Rupp Arena.
The jovial Seattle songsmith will be the first to admit that they weren't entirely there to see him. The feverish October 1995 turnout was for R.E.M., the Georgia alt-rock institution of which McCaughey (pronounced McCoy) has long been an auxiliary member. McCaughey played keyboards, sang a bit, added some rhythm guitar here and there, and generally grinned like a kid having the time of his life, all night long. Posted on 30 Sep 2007 by Stoffel
Subtract two from R.E.M. and you get The Minus 5
Scott McCaughey is involved in so many music projects, it's amazing he has time to finish them all.
The Seattle singer and multi-instrumentalist formed acclaimed alt-rock band Young Fresh Fellows in 1983. A friendship with R.E.M. guitarist Peter Buck led them to start up The Minus Five (initially a loose collective), in 1993. Buck invited McCaughey to tour with R.E.M. a year later; he's been an adjunct member ever since. The pair are also regulars in experimental group Tuatara - which just put out "East of the Sun" (Fast Horse) - and Robyn Hitchcock & The Venus 3. On 2006's stellar "The Gun Album," The Minus 5 has crafted its strongest effort yet with guest appearances from Jeff Tweedy (Wilco), Colin Meloy (the Decemberists), Sean Nelson (Harvey Danger), Ken Stringfellow (the Posies), John Wesley Harding and others. I caught up with the jovial McCaughey (pronounced "McCoy") at his home in Portland last week. Q: This is your first Inland Empire appearance. I was surprised to see The Minus 5 on the bill. A: From looking at the concert program, they seem to book mostly tribute bands and we do mostly originals, but we're a class act and hopefully people enjoy it. We'll try to keep my obscene stage patter to a minimum (laughs). Q: For the most part, the latest CD is more accessible than previous efforts. Was that a conscious decision?
