What about the name. Red Five Standing By?
“It comes from a late ’70s sci-fi movie,” Kiesel
d.
That movie is the original Star Wars.
“I think a lot of bands, they get up and they get
stage and they play their music and that’s it. It
sn’t really go beyond that,” Johnson said,

id you can see we make fools of ourselves and
jump off of amps and make stupid jokes
itween songs and we play “The Gambler”
|cause we’re in College Station.”
Their desire to offer a “real show” goes
yond the stage and bleeds into the Website and
ordings.
"We try to portray, in everything we do — in
it live show, in our Website — we try to portray
mething that’s really funny and something that’s
% different from other bands,” Johnson said.
Ve’ve got a date application on our Website for

young Oxford graduate recruited
for the hit four-man comedy
review Beyond the Fringe.
Moore’s whimsical sense of
humor fitted oddly with the
more savage satirical style of his
partners. “Apart from his musi
cal contributions to the show,”
Peter Cook wrote in Esquire in
1974, “Dudley’s suggestions
were treated with benign con
tempt by the rest of us.”
Moore settled in Southern
California, where he met director
Blake Edwards in a therapy group.
When George Segal walked out of
Edwards’ production of 10, the
director turned to Moore.
The 1979 film, co-starring
Bo Derek, established Moore as
a Hollywood star. Two years
later, he had another: Arthur,
playing a rich drunk who falls
for Liza Minnelli.
That marked the peak of
Moore’s film career, though he
made several more films includ
ing a sequel to Arthur in 1988.
Music remained part of
Moore’s life, both as a jazz
pianist and as a parodist.
“I can’t imagine not having
music in my life, playing for
myself or for other people. If I
was asked, ‘Which would you
give up,’ I’d have to say acting,”
he said in an interview with The
Associated Press in 1988.

“Craig was my roommate at the time, and I had
gotten these drums for free, and 1 didn’t know how
to play them,” Kiesel said. “So I started messing
around with them, and I had my guitar, and I let
Craig dink around on that.”
The duo put together a few songs and took to
the stage, the living room of their apartment where
they played for about 40 people and a handful of
angry neighbors.
Recently, Red Five Standing By held a photo
shoot for marketing and fan-enjoyment purposes.
But in true punk fashion, it did things a little out
of the ordinary.
“We wanted to have one of those black and
white 8x10s; every band has one of those,”
McClain said. “Every band has their band mem
bers standing in a line looking really mad, and we
wanted to do something different, so the idea
came to us that we should have some cheerleaders
in our pictures.”
And somehow, they convinced four college
girls to put on cheerleaders’ outfits and take pic
tures with them for three hours.
Red Five Standing By has found freedom on
the edge of sanity in punk, which Kiesel declares
“is more of an attitude, really, than any kind of
music.”
“[If] we don’t do it right, it doesn’t matter,”
Kiesel said. “We can go up there and just screw
around, and the sound doesn’t have to be perfect
because we’re not tweaking everything just
right. We can blast some distortion and scream
into a mic.”
