The band was formed in 1994 after drummer Al Sobrante left the previous incarnation, The Ne'er Do Wells. Sobrante was replaced by drummer Julie, formerly of Red #9. Julie remained with the band through the recording of the first Lookout! Records album Welcome To My Mind. The title track was a minor hit on college radio and modern rock stations.
Julie left the band for personal reasons and was replaced by Evan from Benicia. The band was asked to open for Green Day during the 1994 Dookie tour, along with Pansy Division. Evan left the band after the tour and was replaced by Danny Seelig from the Phantom Surfers.
The band won a category in the 1996 Bay Area Music Awards ("Bammies") for "Outstanding Alternative Pop/Rock Group" and embarked on a tour in the United States and even a tour in Japan with the Mr. T Experience. While on U.S. tour with The Queers, Jess and Danny both quit the band onstage after a fight. They returned to record the second album And A Whole Lotta You, but both were soon replaced with Steve Faine, previously of Decal and The Stimmies; and Gary Gutfeld of Redemption 87.
The 1998 album Get Down followed but the band never quite recovered from the loss of Hilliard, who was really the heart and soul of the band. John Denery got married and moved to Hawaii, while Chris Imlay became an art director for such magazines as Gearhead and MacAddict. The band played a couple of shows in 2005, but the future of The Hi-Fives is unknown.

The Hi-Fives Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
ah so hypnotic love affair
きっとそれは催眠術ね
目を瞑って聞いててあげる
どんなふうに飛べるのかしら
声だけがほら round and round
数えて数えて 聴こえてきたら
浮かんで浮かんで とろけだすのね
kiss it baby, kiss it baby
Mysterious lover,
you're so mysterious lover,
ah hypnotizer
あなたとなら時をとめたまま
ah どこまでも
Shalala-shalala 瞳とじて
汗が光り すべり落ちる
Shalala-shalala 息が交ざる
止められそうもない
Shalala-shalala 深い夜ね
少し怖いけれどステキ
秘密だらけの
Hippie happy hypnotize
心理学でひも解く色恋
無意識下でトグロ巻く想い
不道徳であるほど艶っぽい
ほら言葉がハラヒレハラホレ
シャンパンならピンクがいいね
一目ぼれのフレーズもいいね
演じきれてないけどどこか
憎めない声 round and round
並べて並べて 言葉尽きたら
ココロで話して もっと近くで
浮気なフリで
bounce with me, bounce with me
Mysterious lover,
you're so mysterious lover,
ah hypnotizer
あなたとなら時をとめたまま
ah どこまでも
Shalala-shalala そうね愛に
理由なんか 必要じゃない
Shalala-shalala 求めあった
二人でいいじゃない
Shalala-shalala 催眠術を
かけたままで ずっとずっと
秘密だらけの
Hippie happy hypnotize
To hypnotize, to be hypnotized
最上階のペントハウスで
甘いマイマイマイマイマイライム
なんか吟じてばっかのモツ MC
気が付けば泥酔サンブラー
口八丁手八丁
チェキラッチョウだった筈が
ミイラ取りがミイラに
なっちゃうぜ 誰かの伝説?
Mysterious lover,
you're so mysterious lover,
ah hypnotizer
あなたとなら時をとめたまま
ah どこまでも
Mysterious lover,
you're so mysterious lover,
ah hypnotizer
あなたとなら時をとめたまま
ah どこまでも
Shalala-shalala 瞳とじて
汗が光り すべり落ちる
Shalala-shalala 息が交ざる
止められそうもない
Shalala-shalala 深い夜ね
少し怖いけれどステキ
