FIFTH NATION
Fifth Nation is the white-hot soul-rock creation of lovers King Julia and Musik Read. After meeting on a Texan stage in the Spring of 2009, they released their first record FLIGHT and spent six months touring the United States. After releasing IT'S ON the following Spring, they abandoned their nomadic mission to settle in Brooklyn, NYC, where they recorded two singles (I'M IN LOVE, FIGHT A WAR), an EP: TV IS DEAD, a full-length self-produced record NATHANIEL, and released four official videos with director Edwin Escobar. They toured twice to California to fuel the cultivation of their NYC home studio, where they now incessantly record between performances for their booming fanbases around the Northeast. They are focused on releasing and licensing self-produced music and preparing for expansive American and Global tours. They are dedicated to the mission of promoting Love through
sexy-badass Rock 'n Soul.
ORIGINS
When Musik was living in the forests of Austin, he met a Native American elder who revealed the story of Chief Hiawatha's call for peace among six Native American tribes and the formation of the Iroquois Confederacy.
The Fifth Nation was the Mohawk Tribe, the first to accept the peace plan.
<<----<<----------- ------------>>---->>
The great orator Hiawatha gathered his people and spoke to them:
"Friends and Brothers: You being members of many tribes, you have come from a great distance; the voice of war has aroused you up; you are afraid for your homes, your wives and your children; you tremble for your safety. Believe me, I am with you. My heart beats with your hearts. We are one. We have one common object. We must unite ourselves into one common band of brothers. We must have but one voice. Many voices makes confusion.
We must have one fire, one pipe and one war club. This will give us strength."
<<----<<------- ------->>---->>
Fifth Nation had the ultimate pleasure and honor of performing for the
Mohawk Tribe in the Akwenaske Territory of Northern New York,
Summer 2011.
