Standing Shadows

Los Angeles based alt-indie-electro band Standing Shadows combine infectious guitar melodies and soundscapes, vintage synth tones and warbles, driving percussive beats, and the intimately emotional vocals…ranging from uber-chill heroin whispers, to heart-pumping, sweat-soaking screams. With their new remix EP for One Way Ride, Standing Shadows are making their way to Austin, TX to put on a energetic set at SXSW in the Spring.

Tic Tic Boom

The emerging indie synth-pop band Tic Tic Boom! is the creative convergence of Mike DeLay and Leilani Francisco. With music that has been referred to as “electro-pop-tacular”, the band strives to make anthemic soundscapes containing elements drawn from indie rock, new wave and punk. This March Tic Tic Boom! will be headed to their first SXSW in Austin, TX to perform at several unofficial parties and will be touring through Arizona in April.

Working with Planetary has been awesome! Their weekly reports are super detailed and make it easy to track how the promo is doing. They have been super supportive and great and explaining the data we get every week! This has been super helpful as a first timer! I will personally be back!

Worked with Planetary on our first full length album on a US/CAN radio campaign. The album did well, charted all over North American stations and we got to make some in roads for interviews and live sessions. The weekly reports were very helpful as well.

I just finished an 8 week campaign with The Planetary Group. The entire team was professional, competent and friendly to work with. The campaign was very effective in getting my music very significant airplay with medium rotation on multiple station and even as high as a top 10 rotation.
