Ghostplane are an indie band from Wellington
History
Ghostplane fall very approximately into the category of experimental indie rock/pop with a side of dark alt-country thrown in. With three vocalists, acoustic and electric guitars, miscellaneous semi-functioning electronic devices, lopsided rhythms, old drum machines and due respect to 'the random element' you could say, in musicological terms, they've 'got their own thing going' - and it definitely is a very good thing.
However, if you want more reference points here they are. They are not a million miles away from good friends and fellow Wellingtonians The Phoenix Foundation, or Arizonians Calexico - both of whom they have recently performed live shows with. Two of the tracks that appear on Panther Valley Country Club - State Hijak and The Straight and Narrow - have had a bunch of play on b-Net radio stations, and the latter track also has an accompanying promotional video.
Their origins stem from defunct Wellington band Dana Eclair.
