When Gove't Mule took a breather from the road in 2011, the band's rhythm section teamed with guitar player TBone and hit the road. Planet of the Abts is Matt Abts (drums and vocals), Jorgen Carlsson (bass, guitar, percussion, tambourine, background vocals) and TBone (guitar, keyboards, percussion, vocals). They recorded a self-titled album with engineer Steve Holroyd - soulful barebones roots rock.
