June 26th. A muggy afternoon in Brooklyn. Paul parks his trailer next to the Galapagos Art Space. Tonight the show will be starting at midnight after a couple of crappy local bands. Planets is pretty lucky though, their tourmates Ahleuchatistas will be playing at 1 am...
A couple of hours to kill in this quiet neighborhood. An interview for a European TV broadcast called "Tracks". Conversations about music and politics, about the differences between the States and Europe, about the meaning of what it is to be an underground rock band today...
Thomas is rehearsing the battery in the van while Paul moves his 6 handmade speakers up to the stage and puts the finishing touches for the show. Now it's time to get dressed like ghosts. Now it's time to go fast and furious.
The show will be short and hectic. Songs following each other without a rest. A wall of sound and fury, a music mixed up with psychedelic images creating a new dimension in which you are entirely -physically and mentally- absorbed. When the show is finished, you need a few minutes to return to Earth. But you definitely want to buy another ticket.
Steps. A journey through the song.
