The Atomic Planets is a collaborative project as a Brooklyn-based band, and is amongst the creators of music. The band members have been in various other bands including "Just an Idea" and "No." The group originally formed in 2008 with early tracks. The band released their first, full length LP, The Atomic Planets in March 2009, along with the EP "Abima." They achieved minor success with the song "Feel The Vibe" on music download site Aime Street. Although all members of the band are in 8-9 grade, Kirk Pearson added "We may be in high school, but we beg of you not to look at the project as a kid-band." The band's name comes from a Harry Truman quote, although their song "Environment 911" mocks that the band's name comes from the video game company, Atomic Planet Entertainment. History The Atomic Planets were formed unofficially in 2008, when the original demos were recorded. With help from new wave pioneers Charlie Gillett and Lene Lovich, the Atomic Planets recorded a cover of Jimmy O' Neil's "Say When." Due to royalty issues, this single was never released into the mainstream. Individually, Kirk Pearson is still a member of the avant-garde Brooklyn punk group "Just An Idea." They became part of the Brooklyn mainstream youth music when opening for such bands as Care Bears on Fire and Starscream at venues such as Southpaw and Arlene's Grocery. Willa R. is a member of punk band "No," formed June 2008. Discography * The Atomic Planets (2009) * Abima-EP (2009) * Baobab (Pre-Release) (2010)
