I don't about you guys, but I've been insanely tired by 'rock' music lately. Other than Tame Impala's outstanding "Lonerism," and possibly FIDLAR's "FIDLAR," rock records released in the last year+ have bored me to a near-coma and the only reason those two cut through the noise is because 1) Australia and 2) drugs. Enter: Terraplane Sun. These dapper LA cats are adding a little flavor to the traditional rock band-blueprint with the introduction of lap steel, accordian, horns, etc to their super mellow, "Rambling Man"-influenced neo-classic rock. And I'm a sucker for multi-instrumentalists anyway. [...]
First of all, The Ranch Party was awesome even though most of what I remember was being stuck in over an hour of traffic to check-in, the school bus ride that took us to and from the festival and how many people were camping out was ridiculous! Overall I had a great time and below [...]

Tomorrow in the Topanga Canyon / Woodland Hills area of Los Angeles, the first Ranch Party festival is going down.

Along with an added charity fee, a portion of the proceeds from the festival will go to ranchkids.org, an organization that works with at risk and special needs youth. Here's [...]

As we bring you our second slew of our Best Songs of 2012, keep in mind that as the numbers get closer to 1, our decisions were just that ...

Se fizermos um balanço de todas as novas bandas que descubrimos em 2012, provavelmente metade das mais legais vieram da California. E, mais uma vez, é das praias badaladas de Venice Beach que surge o mais novo grupo a sair dessa "era de ouro" californiana: o quinteto Terraplane Sun . A banda já lançou um disco de estreia em 2011, mas é com um novo EP de cinco faixas, Friends , que eles ganharam devida atenção. Com uma produção orgânica parecida com a do Electric Guest mas com vocais e elementos pop retirados diretamente do Torches , do [...]
Terraplane Sun - "Ya Never Know" August 6, 2012 by jeremiah trap on Grooveshark
Though Friends is quite a big departure from their last full length (Coyote), there remains much of the same grittiness and attitude in these recordings.
In which absolutely LOADS AND LOADS of pineful young men divulge just how jagged their souls have become after the wrath of love (and sexual needs) has past through. An unprecedented EIGHT videos this week which is plenty INSANE, as evidenced by all the CAPSSSS. But if your patience persists, please spend special attention to [...]

Venice Beach-based blues/psych rockers Terraplane Sun have just released their latest offering, an EP entitled Friends . They've previously released " Get Me Golden " from the EP, which has found a home on various movie soundtracks and TV shows, and now with its physical release, the band has provided us with another cut from Friends . "Ya Never Know" has a loose swagger that compliments singer Ben Rothbard's nasal twang and rolls along to a persistent piano line, punctuated by a circling organ and subtle stabs of trombone. Listen to the song via the band's Soundcloud page below.
California blues-rock quintet, Terraplane Sun, take a six-song snapshot of who they are on their brand new EP, Friends.

Terraplane Sun is a five-piece outfit from Venice Beach, CA whose recent "Ya Never Know" introduced a blossoming artist with lots of promise. The vocals of Ben Rothbard and instrumental uniqueness works the laid-back reggae rock style that Citizen Cope perfected years back with "Bullet And A Target. Yet the piano plays such an important role here, which forcefully makes us +1 this track right off the bat. TS' sound drowns us in California sound like Delta Spirit and many others do so well. Terraplane Sun supported another MUF favorite Alabama Shakes on tour along this [...]

M ix two parts smooth Southern California style and one part bluesy-britpop, with a dash of 602s soul, and you have a refreshing, rock-n-roll cocktail called Terraplane Sun to enjoy. Formed in 2009 by singer/guitarist Ben Rothbard and bassist Chris Campanaro, Venice Beach band Terreplane Sun have soaked up a good amount of publicity, by way of song placements in Showtime and FX shows, along with all that warm Cali sunshine. Their self-titled, debut album, was released in June of that year to critical praise and the band became well known for their intense live performances. Terraplane Sun then went [...]
