Ben Folds Five. Piano rock. Couple of minor hits. College girls in the 90s thought they were cute.

Uncle Walter and Underground are pretty cool songs.

Never was a big fan, but they're o.k. Ben Folds is from NC also.

By the way, Ben has done some chat roulette stuff that was pretty funny. They'd probably be a pretty good pit band.

I loved Ben Folds Five when i was a kid, still listen to them from time to time.

Saw Ben Folds Five at Tremont Music Hall in Charlotte back around '96. They were fantastic. A North Carolina band for sure.

I would be all over that game if they did it.

Pretty sure Ben is from Winston Salem, the drummer is from the Charlotte(?), and the guitarist is from another decent-sized city in N.C. I think they were discovered in Chapel Hill. Brings back memories. They had an MTV video or two.

I saw them at Queens College around 98-99. Great show.

Somebody make me stop.
