Planet Zero
Description: Planet Zero was formed in the summer of 2005 from the ashes of several other West Michigan bands. With a mission to break the local stereotype of all rock bands being "mainstream” in order to appeal to radio stations, the band wanted to set themselves apart from the masses.
By blending guitar-driven songwriting with lyrical content inspired by the observations of an ordinary person, it appeals to both critics and the average rock fan. The music and live shows are a true testament to the hard work and creative bond these four friends from Grand Rapids have developed over years of playing together.
Since their former bands, Planet Zero have re-vamped and re-energized their sound to bring forth something fresh. With a soft, yet strong vocal presence; spirited guitar riffs; creative bass lines; and distinctive drumming, the band exibits a plethora of passion, creativity and musicianship.
With the Planet Zero era just beginning, there is plenty of energy and no end in sight...

The Hungry Ghost
Description: The songs of The Hungry Ghost peek into the mystery of everyday existence and evoke bizarre, unfathomable situations that seem strangely familiar. Music critics have compared him to other artists known for a sense of brooding and darker edge ("imagine Lou Reed produced by Tricky", says one reviewer).
On his new CD, a bizarre blend of goth/darkwave, folk, trip-hop, and traditional eastern instruments, the ghost (aka singer-songwriter Blake Chen) pays homage to horror/sci-fi/fantasy movies and comic books. The songs are grounded in reality while taking us on an imaginative journey through our innermost fears and desires...
