Plant Plants
Plant Plants are a two-piece band of Hackney, East London made up of Stuart Francis and Howard Whatley who are "More than a little bit good" - Drowned In Sound. Having secured the production support of Jas Shaw (Simian Mobile Disco) even before their first gig, Plant Plants released their debut, self titled Plant Plants EP in July 2011 on This Is Music. Plant Plants live show is an intimate combination of hands-on hardware samplers, framed by parallel vocals, guitars, bass & a digital piano. All samples & effects are fingered live as instruments, with not a laptop to be seen. The band are recording their second EP to be released by This is Music with an album to follow in 2013. The band also recently signed a deal with Global Publishing.
Plant Plants have played nights including Gold Dust and White Heat and supported the likes of Com Truise, Visions of Trees, Millionyoung, FM Belfast and the list goes on.
