The Click Five to Show Hobokenites Grown Up Pop

In 2005, The Click Five soared to stardom and stole many teen girls' hearts with their chart-topping hit, "Just the Girl." And after six years of lineup changes and various tours in Asia, the Boston power-pop quintet is back in the U.S. with a new album called, "TCV, " set to release this summer.

With new material in their arsenal, the band is currently on the currently on their road for their first east coast tour in years. The Click Five, along with singer-songwriters Alexis Babini and Jesse Ruben, will be taking their show to Maxwell's on Sunday night for an evening that Click Five frontman Kyle Patrick hopes Hobokenites won't forget.

"We're definitely going to do a lot more interaction this time," Patrick told Patch. "We want people to have fun. We're just going to be energized as a band and finally play in the States."

Patrick believes that this tour will be unlike any of their ones because of how much they wanted their fans to have a say in how each show will play out. "People are going to pick the set list, and I think that's one of the coolest things we've ever done," he said. "We posted polls on Facebook and Twitter, and we got an overwhelming response. I didn't think that people would like certain songs or choose songs deeper into the album that they connect with. There were a few surprises so there will be stuff that we don't normally play live from some of the past albums. We're going to also play stuff from our new album that some people haven't heard yet but I think they're really going to dig it. This latest album sounds like what we sound like as a live band, and I feel like we're strongest when we play live."

Although "TCV" is set to release in the U.S. in July, anyone who attends Sunday's performance will have the opportunity to buy a copy of the album as well as t-shirts that the band designed exclusively for this tour. "We want the people at the show to feel like they're part of something special because they are," Patrick said. "This tour has been way more interactive, and the people who come to the shows on this tour will be able to get things that not everyone else is going to be able to get."

With so much enthusiasm flowing out of Patrick about their new album and tour, one would think they were a new band. This could be because Patrick is technically the newest member of The Click Five -- joining the band in 2007 when the band's former lead singer Eric Dill left. But it didn't stop them from finding a middle ground and coming together to record "TCV."

" For me it was a different thing because I wasn't in the band for that first record ['Greetings from Imrie House']," Patrick said. "So it's just a little bit harder for me to understand where the other guys were coming from and making that first record because I wasn't there. But I appreciate that record very much, and I feel there's elements of that came out of the other four guys. So I feel it came out more in this recent release just because we were trying to get back to our roots and is a little bit heightened on this record. It just felt more of a unified effort."

With the band's synergized front, Patrick is confident that old Click Five fans as well as potential new ones who come along the way will appreciate the revived sound and see how much the band has grown over the years. " I think we got to a point where were we understand more than ever what kind of band we are, what we're capable of and I think we're always going to want to grow," he said.

The Click Five, Jesse Ruben and Alexis Babini will be playing at Maxwell's on May 22 at 6 p.m.
