It is very exciting to think that the band could be a part of these celebrations. "PlanB" arrives in Beijing on Tues 17 July for two days of rehearsal prior to commencing their "3 Steps Closer" tour which will involve performances in Beijing, Tianjin & Shanghai. The band also intends to shoot footage for three of the songs from its new CD due for release towards the end of 2012, entitled "Too Late The Hero". As I indicated on the phone, it would certainly make the tour extra special if "PlanB" could commence with a performance at the Australian Embassy in Beijing (even more so because of the significance of the 40th anniversary celebrations). The band plays a blend of infectious original music coupled with some very well known soul music covers and music by the Blues Brothers, Chicago and Dexys Midnight Runners. It has has a 3 -piece brass section consisting of trombone, trumpet & flugelhorn. Early in 2010 and 2011, the band undertook 2 very successful tours of Cambodia & Vietnam, performing to appreciative audiences in Phnom Penh, Siem Reap, Saigon, Nha Trang and Mui Ne. I have attached a few pics of the band together with a band biography as well as links below to the video clips of the two songs "PlanB" recorded and filmed during the first tour of Cambodia & Vietnam in 2010. Both music clips were filmed locally and display the bands strong identity with some of Australia's Asian neighbors.

I am happy to give you a call from Dubai at a convenient time to discuss this proposal.
