| You know, when your dental assistant says they dig a band, you gotta check 'em out. Plane Jane is one of the wildest bands around and they have the most diverse crowd in the area. There is an ever-changing rotation of members, guests, and instruments, and they frolic from one musical style to the next. When Madonna asked the question, "Where's the party?," the answer was most definitely "Wherever Plane Jane is playing tonight." Even though they party like frat boys on stage, the musicians in Plane Jane have the balls and brass (most literally) to back it up. Guitars, congos,drums, sax, trombone, and various other instrumental goodies show up throughout a performance. There is a kamikaze of who's doing what-where-when, and they like it that way. Instead of confusing, the constant shift of singers, styles, and sounds is part of the magic. So...if you're in the mood for disco, they've got some funky music, white boy. Maybe you're lonely? They'll supply you with an American woman. If you're cold, they'll make it hot in herre. And for those wanting some action, they'll steal your kisses or give 'em to you, whatever you choose. From classic rock to funkdafied retro flare, Plane Jane knows it all and they'll play it all. Whatever makes you dance, baby. If you're more of a watcher than a doer, that's just fine--they'll keep your eyes busy, too. Barefoot singers, pogo-style jumping, and possibly even a dash of the running man are all possibilities. Plane Jane has rotating singers that can wail like pigs in labor or undress you with their voice--although I'm sure you prefer the second. Plane Jane is a working band, but they're also a party band--the only thing is, it's their party, and you're invited. This is one invitation that you don't want to turn down. |
