Back to The Planet@ Redstar, December

[Kid_Eternity]

I've just heard that the Planets are playing the Redstar on December 10th

Will be good to see them playing again. They were always a great live band

They're still going!? I remember seeing them years ago (around 1991 I think)...

 

[Dubversion]

They're still going!?

no, they've reformed.

 

[Kid_Eternity]

no, they've reformed.

I see, when did they split?

 

[Dubversion]

I see, when did they split?

years ago - early 90s? signed to Parallel / London, it fucked them up.

 

[milesy]

nah, senser were a bit poo! just too metal, but not convincingly so. And the wailing girl was really annoying.

i thought they were pretty good, their first album was ace. "no comply" was a wicked song. they were brilliant at glastonbury...95? 96?

 

[sus]

yes it's sunday the 10th december -- it'll be a right larf for sure - full of lairy soundness

 

[DeadManWalking]

Unfortunately I am going to be on crutches for the whole of December, so don't think I'll be at this even though I'd love to be.

That's a shame. But there's sofas there and everytthing?

 

[DeadManWalking]

I know it was a lame excuse!!

 

[Dubversion]

I know it was a lame excuse!!

yeh, you deserve to get given some stick. Serves you right for going out on a limb.

 

[DeadManWalking]

That's all I knee-d

 

[Flounder]

If this does go ahead, please can someone ask them to contact me via The Endorse-it website www.lgofestivals.com as we have something going on at Easter that they may be interested in playing.
Cheers

Digs out multiple 'Who's Fuckin' Planet' t-shirts

I don't know where my who's fuckin planet t shirt has gone . I loved that t shirt too...wore it man and boy. granted, it might have whiffed a bit, and as i grew in stature might have arguably been too small, but I loved it all the same....

*weeps*

I'd like to see BTTP again, for i thought that they were good, ad I'd have gladly had Fil Planet's babies if it weren't for the fact that she's a girl, and I'm, erm, not.

 

[William of Walworth]

Can you make it to London for this gig bus?

Let me know if you need somewhere to crash.

 

[bus]

Can you make it to London for this gig bus?

it being a sunday dows make it a bit of a pain in the bum, but december's nay looking 3 bad at the mo, so is a definate possibility, aye fella

and cheers for the offer!!

 

[mr steev]

no, they've reformed.

Does this mean there are more gigs on the cards? Or is this just gonna be a one-off?

 

[bus]

tbh, I'd heard that they'd reformed several times over the past few years, but always just put it down to chinese whispers. Going to this gig woul just be such a bastard for me to organise, but I'm really tempted in case this really is just a one off

 

[Lucky JACKSON]

I got nicked for wearing that 'who's fuckin planet!' t-shirt.
Initially I thought it might have been the grammar police.
In a railway station at Christmas time and the copper comes legging it up the platform and halts my departing train.
Hauls me off the train and holes me up in a room of the British Transport Police.
Held me for a couple of hours while a photographer (who doubled as Good Cop) took a series of photos.
Altogether a very bizarre incident.
My mate wrote to the band detailing the debacle, in return got a prompt and sound letter from Fraggle, who to his credit said he would front any legal costs.
The police didn't pursue it.

 

[spiralx]

Oooh, now there's a blast from the past. I might be up for this

 

[Blagsta]

I liked them in their time. The one about the turtles though was just an embarrasment.

 

[Dubversion]

I'm fairly sure this is a one-off, but then bands always say that

 

[William of Walworth]

I bet they don't play that one!

A lot of the others were very though

 

[sus]

This gig is fully confirmed and will have P.A.I.N supporting along with MotherFunk DJs and Siren Soundsystem upstairs -- the band are not re-forming and this is purely a one off gig -

 

[chazegee]

The sea were good though

 

[Chuff]

I blame the turtles

 

[Chuff]

is it tickets or turn up?

 

[Blagsta]

The sea were good though

The Sea were fucking dreadful.

 

[chazegee]

The Sea were fucking dreadful.

Were they? I thought they were great?
Well I was 15

 

[ELO]

Senser were much better than them though.

Were Back to the Planet in the Senser/RATM mould? Not a band I ever heard,but I always imagined them to be a Levellers type band.

 

[Dubversion]

not really - more kind of keyboard / ska festy style. certainly not in any way rock like Senser or (spit) RATM.. and not folky like the levellers either
