Currently based in Los Angeles and Joshua Tree CA, Yellow #5 was formed in New Orleans in 2001. Molly McGuire wrote Demon Crossing over a period of a month, inspired by the twin moons of a nasty breakup (both her band Rhudabega and a relationship) and a desire to musically recreate the atmosphere of Nolas Circle Bar, to whose recently passed owner Kelly Keller the album is dedicated. Though a native of Ontario, Canada, Mollys half dozen years in the Crescent City leave an indelible stamp on the songs. Enlisting the aid of Dave Catching, whom she met playing with Nola punk mainstays the Gnarltones, the two formed Yellow #5 to perform these songs. Molly relocated to the Palm Desert area of California in 2001, eventually recording Demon Crossing at Rancho de la Luna in Joshua Tree in 2003 with the assistance of Mollys brother, engineer Brenndan McGuire, and Spores compatriot Greg Biribauer. Friend and veteran drummer par excellence Brant Bjork (Kyuss, Fu Manchu,! Che, several solo albums) volunteered to play drums on the album, while Gene Trautmann (Miracle Workers, QotSA) is the current drummer.
