A combustible mixture of space rock and indie pop, San Francisco's Planets
West channel what they love about music through an extensive array of
guitars, effects pedals, and vintage keyboards. The result is a woozy
balance between willful noise and a sense of tact, slow drones and guitar
pop, and low-fi sounds colored with the occasional sci-fi flourish. The
foursome shares songwriting, singing, and playing, keeping busy on stage
by switching instruments in between and even during songs. These indie
utility men live their credo: "There's no 'I' in band."
The Planets West are Brendan O'Brien, Mike Hendricks, Kevin McGonegal and Sean Donahue.
