The Indiana-based band has received stellar reviews the world over for their recent CD Release is entitled Once Upon A Time In The South Loop (see media quotes section, below).
About The Planetary Blues Band
With the release of Once Upon A Time In The South Loop,
The Planetary Blues Band take a giant step towards fulfilling their
goals - "pushing our new album, getting more radio play, and gigging as
much as possible....(also to) work, write songs, and pay tribute where
it is due.
"We know the blues scene and we know our unique selling points. A plan
is in place. Any goal without a plan is a wish, and we have big
goals."
This
unique trio of brothers (Martin Schaefer-Murray, guitar-vocals;
Michael Schaefer-Murray, guitar-vocals; Bobby Schaefer-Murray, bass;
also Nick Evans, drums) got their start playing, and being influenced
by, the Blues. The band was born in Valparaiso, Indiana in 1999 in
their mother's basement, where they spent countless hours learning
entire albums by Chicago Blues greats like Magic Sam, Buddy Guy, Junior
Wells, and Son Seals. From there, over the course of the past
ten-plus years, Planetary has held onto those roots while expanding
outward into various other corners of the musical universe.
"We
decided to keep it simple, and write with the Blues as our focus. The
idea for this album, and our albums to come, is to explore the Blues
genre as fully and concisely as possible." - Martin Schaefer-Murray in All Access Magazine interview (read entire interview here: http://allaccessmagazine.com/2013/04/25/the-planetary-blues-band/).
"Someone you want to keep on your radar...able to take an older genre and incorporate new and fresh sounds...sound like a band who's been playing on Memphis' Beale street for years. 9 out of 10 Stars." BLUES ROCK REVIEW
"This family blues band brings a modern Chicago blues-rock sound to the forum with its sizzling guitars, surging rhythms, and piercing vocals.
Plenty of emotion to share, both from vocals and from guitars, as the band makes each statement clearly with passion."
"After giving "Once Upon A Time In The South Loop", the latest
release by The Planetary Blues Band, just a few listens, I could not
come to any conclusion, other than this album is pretty damn good. Consists of ten immensely entertaining tracks...an extremely talented band that offer up a nice fresh take on the Blues."
BLUES UNDERGROUND NETWORK
"This is what the Rolling Stones would sound like if they were just starting today: a band dedicated completely to the blues..."Blues Resurrection is so deep and so real that you could almost swear you're in some wooden shanty of a blues bar in some Southern backwoods, with the stale smell of smoke and illegal whiskey in the air. Keep an eye on The Planetary Blues Band, folks. These guys are going places."

BOOMEROCITY
"Having characteristics similar to early British blues bands, this album has a fresh, familiar sound...'The Thorns Will Show You' has a real Sixties sound than can easily become a radio player. Definitely an interesting release."
