Planes Mistaken for Stars Gain Bassist, Tour
New bassist still not sure about changing name to Chuck Freedom

Back in August, we reported to you that Planes Mistaken for Stars had indeed lost their bassist. We are now happy to report that, although they never found the one they lost (my guess-- in the closet, under that junior-high amp with the Winger logo Liquid-Papered on), they have replaced him. Out on tour with the Ataris (hey, a gig is a gig, right?), the three original members are breaking in Chuck French, formerly of Peralta, who has officially made the transition from temp to perm.

In new album news, the band is still working on material for the follow-up to 2001's Fuck with Fire. They recently recorded a number of demos with Alex Newport, who has worked in the past with The Mars Volta and The Icarus Line. The demos are essentially being used to shop around for a label to release the record, which they plan on recording during the winter. In the meantime, though, just go see 'em live. Dates:

11-19 Toronto, Ontario - Kool Haus (w/ The Ataris, Hopesfall, Squirtgun)
11-20 Ottawa, Ontario - Club Saw
11-21 Port Jervis, NY - The Vault
11-22 Washington, D.C. - American University (w/ The Ataris, Hopesfall, Squirtgun)
11-23 Columbus, OH - Little Brothers (w/ Lovedrug)
11-24 Omaha, NE - Ranch Bowl (w/ Thrall)
