The Five Man Electrical Band was a rock group from Canada, best known for their 1972 hit "Signs".
The group (whose sound may have been a precursor to that of the Electric Light Orchestra) consisted of Les Emmer son, Brian Rading, Ted Gerow, Mike Belanger and Rick Belanger. Originally recording and touring as The Staccatos, they chose the title of their second album (1968) as the new name for the band.
