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.
[Update: The band has since broken up, but if you like what you hear check out our new ventures on our top friends: Mike Krause's solo project; cHeWie's bands The Walking Corpses,Dynaflo, and Soviet Union and Pat's bands Ginger Fig and Dynaflo.]

You read my mind. I would be honored if you guys would play my birthday party since i have a feeling it might be lame if you guys don't show up. If you want to hit me back and i will give you extensive details.
Hey guys, if any of you want to come tomorrow to the concert, let Jay or I know before like 2 am. I'll send you a e-mail with our phone numbers. We have some tickets to give away.
Yeah, I guess so. You can buy me one at Ten Bells on Tuesday night. Wait, drinks at Ten Bells suck ass. Maybe I'll have to take a rain check on the L.I., but I'll be out there.
Hey guys. Lindsay here from the Art deal Friday night (I was the one taking photos). Anyways, there's a few of your band that I thought you'd like to see. You can find them here: http://teja.fotopic.net/c850313.html
Well, it sounds like you are all developing quite the fan base eh? I'm very happy for you. The show for the 28th is still up in the air and I guess might not happen as I haven't been able to get a hold of anyone from the Odyssey Club. I hope you're all doing good.
