Planet Productions Music, LLC

After a few quiet years from us, it's about time to shake some life back into the music scene and entertainment world!! And by this I do not mean in just one small avenue but rather through many faucets.

What to expect sometime after the first of the year:

1- we will be announcing open auditions for 4 band projects being built from the ground up strictly with the intention of being guided through creation and pushed as far into success as possible. We are building bands without genre specific goals up front, the genre will be determined for each band project as member selection is under way. Four bands may mean 4 genres or it may mean 1. We feel the talent pool should dictate what is to come not us. The genre and original music that results from these projects will be free from our control, we are just eager to flood the scene with promising original talent again. We will take an unique approach starting with the core of any band, drummers will be first chosen then the rest will follow. You all will find our approach different but it's not about doing what has always been done...it's time for growth and change.

2- shortly after the new year we will be opening a small local music store selling at first mostly used gear and new items necessary for practice and playing such as cables, picks, drumsticks, etc. We will also use this location to help local and regional bands by providing a physical retail location for cds and merch and exposure through play in store of only Indie bands. We will offer other services including guitar/bass lessons, music theory and other music and industry related courses that will be evolving and rotating all the time.

3- an online radio station... A few blogs, podcasts and monthly scene based ezine. All providing opportunities for indie bands to gain exposure, for journalist opportunities for freelance writers, a home for those wanting more involvement in the inside scene, a place for those familiar with the scene and the music life to share their experiences and help mold those just coming up into the love of the music dream. It also gives venues an avenue to check out bands they may want to book through both the opportunity to hear them and to see how well their music is being received by our customers.

4- We are finally in a location big enough and isolated enough to open our recording abilities and facilities to the public. We will offer bands quality audio and video production services. We will also have a dedicated podcast production studio that we will also use for recording and producing audiobooks.

There is another large project in the works that we are keeping to ourselves at this time, but let me assure you we cannot wait to bring this news publicly available. This post is not intended to bea full description of any one of these announcements nor be the entire catalog of our services or products. This is just our touching base and fulfilling our promise that we were still around and working on projects that will continue to benefit the indie music and entertainment worlds in these changing times and steadily new music industry.

Here is to what is on the horizon for this coming year, let's come together and make 2022 the best year for music and the arts.

And it’s probably playing… 😉
