Update: Within a week of putting this up, we got this response in our email:
After our recent probe into the disappearance of Fifth Angel, a fan emailed us
with the information that he had regarding the band's whereabouts. According to
Tim's email the band eventually broke up after drummer Ken Mary's departure.
Vocalist Ted Pilot went to school and became a dentist, taking over his father's practice.
James Byrd was rumored to have been forced out of the band due to some underhanded moves by
Pilot and others. The other members whereabouts are unfortunately still unknown.

Update 2:
Ted Pilot lives in Seattle where he has his own practice as an endodentist (root canal
specialist), I dont believe he is active in music anymore and is still un married.
Ed Archer also is in Seattle and works a regional manager for a technical company,
hes married and has a family, although he is not musically active either he still
enjoys playing guitar and his son is taking up drums. Kendall is still in Seattle also,
but Im not sure if hes doing music? The last I heard was he and James were
doing some stuff together, but Im not sure. Lastly, I moved to Florida about 4 years
ago and dont play much anymore, I own my own small computer consulting company and
have a family.
I spoke to Ted about a year ago but havent seen him in about 4 years. I did see Ed
last year while on a visit to Seattle, but havent seen or spoken to Kendal in about
5 years. Ken lives in phoenix but I havent spoken to him in years as well. After the
band broke up the members did basically scatter to the winds, unfortunate but true. Sorry
there isnt more exciting news about the members, but thats reality. It still
amazes me there is still public interest in the band, it would be great to do a few shows
for old time sakes, but I dont ever see that happening.
Sincerely,
John Macko
