In a continuing exercise in proaction, synergy and cross promotional branding Punknews is pleased to bring you the the latest in a series of Fest based interviews. In this session interviewer Matt Walker interviews Gared O’Donnell about Planes Mistaken For Stars and Hawks and Doves. Walker explains:
Planes rode hard for about a decade but they got rode out a couple of years ago. Now that they’ve had some time to recuperate, they’re coming back around for Fest 9. They’re one of those bands that lays it all on the line on their albums and on stage (or floor, or basement). Their live shows are studies in intense, sweaty, all-out rock and roll in the most sincere way possible. Planes are in your face but giving you a high five at the same time. This time around original guitarist Matt Bellinger is back; which means there will be three guitars on stage. What more could you ask for? Should be fun…
