Back To The Planet

Back To The Planet

Back To The Planet are a band from London, England.

History

Back To The Planet (BTTP) formed while squatting together in Peckham, south east London in 1989, and attracted a dedicated following throughout the early nineties. They played four consecutive Glastonbury festivals and played many free festivals, including the Deptford Urban Free Festival and the infamous Castlemorton Common Festival in 1992. BTTP were vociferous in their resistance to the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994.

Their music blended elements of ska, dub, punk, and dance music. Their first album "Warning the public" was released on their own label "Arthur Mix Records" based in Hither Green.

In 1993 the band signed to Parallel records and released a chain of singles. BTTP split not long after the release of "Messages After The Bleep" in 1995, to pursue personal music projects.

BTTP performed a reunion gig at the Red Star bar in Camberwell on Sunday 10 December 2006. They also played at the Endorse It In Dorset Festival on Sunday 12th August 2007. They played at the Beautiful Days festival in 2007 to a smaller than expected crowd due to them clashing with Bill Bailey.

BTTP played the Paradise Gardens free festival, London E3 on Sunday 25 May 2008, and played at the Endorse It In Dorset, SolFest and Shambala festivals in summer 2008.
