Fiction Plane

Click here to see the interview!

Fiction Plane may be called ‘the band that never sleeps’. When not writing, in the studio, or doing session work individually, the band can always be found out on the road, performing at amazing massive concert events and intimate clubs alike. Fiction Plane is nothing if not committed to making sure their music is heard.

This summer is no different. Already on the books are dates with such renowned and diverse acts as The Killers, Bruce Springsteen, Chickenfoot, Tesla, Jeff Beck, The New York Dolls, Beth Hart, and Morcheeba!

Fiction Plane has just announced two more special performances to add into the mix.

You heard correctly! Thanks in no small part to the devotion of Fiction Plane’s fan base, drummer Pete Wilhoit has been nominated the #3 Best Up and Coming Drummer, which is featured in the July 2009 issue of Modern Drummer Magazine (on stands now).  Although the first and second spots are held by Flynnville Station’s Tommy Bales and Chris Cornell’s drummer Jason Sutter, Wilhoit charted ahead of literally thousands of drummers across the country, who were in contention for this list.

E-mail from Pete Wilhoit, Drummer of Fiction Plane:

How do you feel about the Paradiso DVD/Blueray production?
WE ARE EXCITED ABOUT THAT MOMENT IN OUR LIVES BEING CAPTURED ON FILM. IT WILL BE PROOF TO OUR GRAND KIDS THAT WE ROCKED WHEN WE WERE YOUNGER!
 
How far are you with the new CD?
THE NEW CD TRACKS HAVE BEEN RECORDED, NOW WE ARE WORKING ON MIXING THEM. IT’S GOING TO SOUND GREAT!

What kind of cd will it be, can we expect some new influences? If so, what are they?
I WOULDN’T SAY NEW INFLUENCES, BUT WE HAVE ACHIEVED SOME GREAT MUSICAL MOMENTS ON THIS RECORD. VERY PLEASING TO THE EAR. IT GROOVES, ROCKS, SOARS, DIVES, BUMPS AND PUMPS!

Fresh news from the Fiction Plane camp!!!

The band is currently logging time at RAK Recording Studios in London mixing its yet-untitled third full length release, once again under the capable supervision of producer Paul Corkett. Says drummer Pete Wilhoit on working with Corkett: “It’s been amazing working with Paul again. He’s the perfect combination of old school and new school. He knows his s*** and loves to explore sonically. He’s so dedicated to the project, and always finding new ways to improve the music. No one works harder! He won’t stop until its right and he goes on virtually no sleep and very little food. It’s been a joy working with him again."

The British band Fiction Plane is now making their new album. “On July 12 the trio will definitely play some new songs at Bospop Weert” says a very enthusiastic manager Daniel Regan.

This autumn the third studio album will be available including songs with working titles like Telephone Unknown, Humanoid, Denied Zero and Contagious. Last week the Dutch manager Daniel Regan was a day in the studio with Fiction Plane and told LiveXS already that “the new CD is much more varied than Left Side of the Brain. There are 5 or 6 potential singles on the new album”.
