My new Movie Taking Five

Pop and alternate rock, that's what kind of music i've been Playing

He's a Midwestern boy, who, not too long ago, graduated from Purdue University in Indiana with a Bachelor's in Industrial Technology. And not long after that, he was on stage singing to hundreds of thousands of screaming fans, fronting one of the most successful rock bands of 2005. As his father has said, "He is likely one of the only rock stars who can program a robot."

Fortunately for us, robotics lost out, and Eric Dill is embracing his music – not to mention, the fans who love it. "It's pretty bizarre and awesome to have people so enamored by you that they forget themselves," he says.

The last several years of Eric's life have been spent as the lead singer and front man of The Click Five, one of the fastest-rising rock bands of the decade. In '05, their debut album, Greetings from Imrie House, was the highest-debuting CD from a new rock group. In a whirlwind of a ride, Eric found himself on sound stages from Live With Regis and Kelly to Late Night with Conan O'Brien and opening for internationally renowned acts like Ashlee Simpson, The Backstreet Boys and McFly – and most notably, in what he still describes as one of the most surreal moments of his life, performing for the President of the United States at Christmas in Washington.

Eric Dill may have left The Click Five, but he hasn't left his old label home. Atlantic head of A&R Andy Karp is at work with Dillwho has relocated to Los Angeles and is also actingon a solo album Karp expects to hit stores in early 2008. "Eric's looking to go in a harder, more alternative-sounding direction," says Karp, who compares the material to fellow singer/actor Jared Leto's band 30 Seconds to Mars. So far, Dill's written with Kara DioGuardi and Dave Hodges (formerly of Evanescence), and Karp says he hopes to get Dill in the studio later this summer. As for whether the label will market Dill as a former member of the Click Five, Karp says it plans to let the music determine the approach
