Nineteen Five, a female lead band out of Mount Lake Terrace released their album; Blind Eye Gone in 2003.
Their album displays their intense interest in Egypt and the Egyptian culture. Nineteen 5 is: an anomalous coordinate linking hyper-dimensional tetrahedral geometry to the face on Mars, the pyramids, and structures on the dark side of the moon.

Many songs on this album are difficult to listen to because the vocals make up so much of the music, and the lyrics are difficult to understand. The songs seem to jump about in underlining topics, or are about the Egyptian culture. The songs also have just about every other word drawn out by vocalist, Christine Wayne. The "yeahs" are extremely over done, to the point of annoyance.

Guitarist Kevin Watkins skill is best displayed in track 6, thinkin' thoughts. He shows pretty raw aggression through out the song. Though drums and guitar both sound rather novice. Vocals are over the top on each song, seemingly making up for the lacking instrument intricacy, or vice versa.

This band would not be half bad if they cut down the drawn out vocals and tried more intricate instrumental arrangements.

You almost have to be as enthusiastic about Egyptian culture to appreciate the band. I think it safe to assume people such as that are few and far between.
