"Post-Punk / Art Rock..." - Boyd Nutting
"...in the realm of Sonic Youth or Fugazi..." - Max Kauffman
Hailing from Culver Indiana, plankton is comprised of Matt on guitar bass, vocals - Tina on bass vocals, guitar - and Eric on the drums.
2006 began with plankton appearing on WNIT's "Open Studio," a program on local public television focusing on talent in the station's viewing area. Because of that appearance plankton was invited to play a show at a popular club with crowd-drawing bands from the South Bend/Mishawaka area. At the time plankton had no drummer. From an ad placed in the forum of a venue's web site Tim Post (Wichita Kansas Trailer Park Conspiracy) agreed to play the show and ended up staying with the band for a stretch of accomplishments. These include breaking into many venues formerly unreachable by the band and being selected to participate in the Chicago Bodog Battle of the Bands. Tim left the band in September 2006 for personal reasons.
Matt was in a band in 1992 when he met Tina. That band went bust but Tina and Matt stayed together. Tina began to learn bass. Matt and Tina searched for a drummer to suit their music. For one reason or another people never worked out.
In January of 2003 plankton was joined by Eric on drums (Eric left the band in late 2005). Right away they new they could have something special if they practiced hard. Festivals battles of the bands private parties, and a free public performance on the Fulton County Court House (Indiana) lawn sponsered by the Fulton County Public Library have all contributed to the band’s growth and progress. They have been working their butts off to craft their originals into a crowd pleasing set of shock amazement, and yes, even the occasional offense.
So...what do you call THAT?
Boyd Nutting owner of the former Club Cackle in South Bend Indiana and currently operating Manifesto! in Niles Michigan, described plankton as "Post-Punk / Art Rock."
Something that helps to set plankton’s music apart Matt and Tina switch off on bass and guitar. They both played drums in other bands. Adding to that they write all the songs and do all the recording themselves in their studio Splatcat Records, with Matt acting as the band's ample engineer. Being a totally DIY band Tina makes all the band's t-shirts - dying and printing them by hand.
