Minneapolis-based theatrical/ retro-synth/ bubblegum quartet Manplanet continue on an extended, multi-leg US tour tonight supporting Sacramento’s Groovie Ghoulies (dates below). You may have seen the band on the pilot episode of Comedy Central’s Let’s Bowl (if not, check our link to a QuickTime movie of that peformance). They’re slated to appear three more times on Let’s Bowl this season starting in April.
    Front man Jeff Ham, formerly of Minneapolis band Detroit, formed Manplanet four years ago... taking on the persona of Jefferson White. Other members include Tim Crimson (bass, vocoder), Pete Greene (electronic percussion, vocals), and Ben Blue #4 (synths, guitar; new to the band and formerly with The Benjamins).
