Planet Booty

Bay Area 6-piece ensemble Planet Booty is set to release their second EP, Success. Accompanying the release is a video for the album’s first single, “Dress for Success.” The band’s obvious sense of humor is trumped by their explosive talent, eccentric style, and downright fun and dirty funk.

Planet Booty’s Success takes you on an intergalactic adventure through the orbital debris of musical genres. The four-song EP is the follow-up to their self-titled first album, Planet Booty – an entirely self-recorded, conceptual space-funk opera produced by Nathan Germick (keyboardist, Planet Booty) and mastered by Mike Wells. Success represents the evolution of Planet Booty from concept album to 6-piece live band.

With central themes of sweat and booty-shaking juxtaposed against more lofty notions of unlocking human potential, one may question the seriousness of it all. Planet Booty are masters of this ambiguity and use it to toy with the listener’s expectations. Their “Dress for Success” video (directed and edited by Planet Booty members Rob Gwin and Dylan Germick) capitalizes on their humor to drive home the old adage that looking good is feeling good.

Planet Booty creates a hyper-charged dance party experience that has quickly earned them a reputation as one San Francisco’s must-see live acts. Their unique combination of high-caliber musicianship, adventurous arrangements, and good ol’ fashioned fun will continue to gain momentum with the release of their new EP and video. Success will be available on iTunes March, 2012.
