The Fiction Plane show I covered last month at Mercury Lounge was out of this world, and everyone seemed to agree. So it was only a natural next step to get to know the band a little better and figure out what that intangible is that makes them such a special trio. I was able to talk to Pete Wilhoit, Fiction Plane drummer, and expound on the origins of the band, their next move, the future of music, and why oh why, do people not go to live shows anymore!?

Sherene Hilal: So how did the band name, “Fiction Plane” originate?

Pete: The band originated with different personnel about eleven years ago. The band was originally called “Santa’s Boyfriend” and it had four original members and then they kicked out their drummer and decided to write on their own and they got signed and started recording. That’s when they wrote Everything Will Never Be OK and they were using a studio drummer. Then they were getting ready to release that album and get on the road and it was just Joe Sumner and Seton Daunt. They thought they should really get a drummer who could really be an asset to the band. I heard about the gig from my teacher who knew the band’s producer and I was really interested, really liked their music, so I went to NYC to audition for the band. I really hit it off with all the guys, and I guess that’s how you say history is made. They changed the name from “Santa’s Boyfriend” because we were told to get serious, so it became “Fiction Plane” even though it’s less memorable, it is what it is.
