Phantom Planet is a Los Angeles rock band that never picked a lane and never needed to. Signed to Epic Records, the group built a catalog that runs from the alternative rock of The Guest in 2002 through a self-titled record two years later and out to Raise the Dead in 2008, with more than two dozen releases in total. The indie rock and the pop in their sound keep trading places, which is why the band reads as an alternative act on one song and a straight rock act on the next.
They took their time. Phantom Planet formed in 1994, which means the band spent roughly eight years in Los Angeles County before The Guest arrived, and that long apprenticeship shows in a group that plays like it has nothing left to prove. Los Angeles is not a backdrop here. It is where the whole thing was assembled, slowly.
The lineup has carried recognizable names, among them Alex Greenwald, Jason Schwartzman, and Sam Farrar, and the band has kept the kind of touring schedule that puts it on stages as varied as the Marquee Theatre, 191 Toole, and Tannahill's Tavern and Music Hall. That range is the booking case. Phantom Planet works as a headliner for college programming and festival and fair lineups, and as a known name for corporate events, casinos, and private shows.
