31 Jul 2011

Rancho Santa Margarita, CA – 16 November 2004 -- The Planet P Project was started in 1983 as a method for Tony Carey to put out a certain style of music that didn't fit in with some of his other work under his own name. The first album garnered the radio and video hit "Why Me", a year later Tony followed it up with the 2nd Plant P album (a double) "Pink World" which has been compared to Pink Floyds "The Wall" for its depth and intensity. Tony has over 30 albums to his credit, including many radio and video hits, and as a multi-instrumentalist and vocalist has worked with some of the biggest names in the business. His searing Mini Moog work on the classic Rainbow album "Rainbow Rising" is legendary. ”What an amazing partnership for us. I’ll never forget the first time I heard Tony’s keyboard work on the 2nd Rainbow album ‘Rainbow Rising’ and then some years later hearing ‘Why Me’ from the first Planet P Project album and then finally figuring out it was the same guy. Tony is one of those rare artists that grab me at a real gut level. When I heard 1931, I enjoyed it at first, but by the 3rd listen I was absolutely blown away and played it for everyone I could find. I then spent a fair amount of time hunting down Tony and convincing him that we really wanted him with us, and I’m just excited beyond words that he agreed. This album is really powerful, you’re going to love it.” Said Shawn Gordon, President of ProgRock Records. Tony Carey, who IS Planet P had this to say “I’m delighted to have found a new platform to deliver my admittedly esoteric stuff to y’all - CENSORSHIP SUCKS and I don’t care for Top 40 either... and I’m excited to be working with Shawn and ProgRock Records. A Ford in every garage, a chicken in every pot, and a copy of ‘1931’ in every CD player. There’s more to come, keep on believing. tc". 1931 is the first in the trilogy of albums “Go Out Dancing” which will continue with "Levittown", about the fifties, from drunken Joe McCarthy to the Birth of the Cool to the Kennedy Boys, and part 3 "Out In The Rain" which according to Tony, will be all he has to say about the disgraceful state of the world's unfortunates - which of course is just about everybody... "1931" itself deals with the radical right, starting in Weimar Germany in 1923, right through to the Federal Building and including all that fun bunch of radicals, including Tim McVeigh and the militia movement! Tony hopes he doesn't pull any punches with his musical observations. Viciously satirical, at times quite lyrical and melodic at others. 1931 will be released world wide in mid-December 2004. The sequels will be released as they become available. You can order direct from ProgRock Records or from your favorite retailer.
