.five.fingers.half.a.hand. demo (1998)

It totally blows me away that people out there, particularly in Europe, still have a vested interest in old DuPage Collective releases. Even the people involved directly with the DC haven't thought about some of these records in years, so the fact that these posts are peaking interest to people out in the vast reaches of the internet is mind-blowing.

I keep coming up with little things here and there that I think are worth sharing, as long as there still seem to be interested parties out there. These mp3s are from the demo of .five.fingers.half.a.hand., a band featuring members of a bunch of other DuPage bands. .five.fingers.half.a.hand. came about in the summer of 1998 and lasted until 2000.

I'm not sure where I got a copy of the demo, but here it is.1

1. Similes and metaphoars are as useless as a $3 bill.

1 Also, I'm not sure if the misspellings are intentional or not. I included what the mp3s were titled on my hard drive and I don't have a hard copy to reference.
