Yachts and Planes

About Me


Yachts & Planes (or, Luxuriösesboot und Fleugzeug if you are German) used to be four dudes who called themselves New Holland (or Nude Holland, ((Naakt Nederland for you Dutch Nudists))) they played together for a few years, went to a couple of the Dakotas, rode some bicycles and drank some beer and at a certain point New Holland came to its logical conclusion as a four piece. Reconfiguring themselves as a three piece our intrepid heroes forged ahead into the strange and scary world of power trios. Then recongealed as a crushing juggernaut of luxury and leisure, Yachts and Planes, not unlike Obi-Wan Kenobi when struck down by Darth Vader, returned, having become more powerful than you could possibly imagine. Subsequently they played their last show on the Day the Eagle Cried and are now no longer.
Bryce has embarked on a solo career which you can find Here .
Jon and Matt are in the beginning stages of a new group, stay tuned!
Thanks for all the memories!
Jon, Matt and Bryce
