"Planning Yesterday takes command of the audience with a bold, loud, and in your face approach to the game of rock n' roll. Watch these guys closely, I know they have staying power!"-drue mitchell-89.7PowerFM





Those of you that are familiar with Christian radio programing here in north Texas, are probably more familiar with 94.9 KLTY, than with 89.7 PowerFM. Most Christians are into the "Praise Jesus" "Holy Holy" music that is great. Don't get me wrong. But for the Younger, Hipper crowd, thats musical taste is into the rock n' roll music, 89.7 is for you!
The above quote was given regarding my band, Planning Yesterday, by Drue Mitchell who just so happens to be the Program Director of 89.7 PowerFM. He also DJ's the on-air portion of the afternoon on the station. His support means mre than he may know. Plans are to take him out to dinner within the next couple of weeks. He is truly a great guy!
We endured a rough 2 days this past weekend. But we made it through. Friday night we did an accoustic set at Mochulux Coffee in Arlington. An amazing time to hang out and play. It was like practicing, but with an audience. ( Remember we only serve an audience of One, but more than one is great! I won't lie.) The guys there were really cool with us, can't pass up free coffe, LOL! our setup was probably alot more than they are acustom to, but none the less, we rocked the house.
I arrived back in Arlington on Saturday morning at 9AM to get loaded and ready for the 2 shows we had that day. Thats right, 2!! The first of the two required us to drive to Irving(Originally thought to be Grapevine) to First Baptist Church of Irving. It was there 100th Birthday. Happy Birthday!! Amazing. It was billed as a community wide event, with the Tastes of Irving being displayed(and eaten) and the cities fire dept. and police dept. showing off their toys, and giving saftey tips to the community. The had games for the kids, jump houses, a train ride, and last but not least, great music. There were several tallents and musicians that graced the stage that day. From a group of 40-50-60 year old guys playing cause they love it, to the churches Childrens Choir singing with the passion that the older guys had, with only a keyboard and a Boyscout on Electric Guitar, LOL! It was amazing. We arrived there at about 1115, and found out we were to go on last, at around 415/430. So we had alot of time to hang out and get to know people, talk with the guy and gals from PowerFM, and just enjoy the music, the great weather, and eachother. It was our turn to take the stage and we did so with confidence, and after a great prayer time, in which we placed all we do in God's hands. He truly helped us minister in a way that won fans, and the cheers of PowerFM once more.





"1st prize was a 6 hour recording block and was awarded to “Planning Yesterday”. These guys have sort of a southern rock sound and a HUGE amount of energy! All the musicians in that band are extremely talented and really good at what they do as a whole. They couldn’t have rocked their set better!" -Little Herbie-89.7 PowerFM
I can't get enough out of how Cool and Amazing God really is. Without Him we wouldn't even be together doing this thing called life, as Brothers. They are truly a blessing to me. And I don't think I could do life without them. Love Ya Guys!
-I am he is you are he is you are me and we are all together!
