Fiction Plane is a rock band consisting of lead vocalist and bass player Joe Sumner, guitarist Seton Daunt, and drummer Pete Wilhoit. Fiction Plane's popularity took off in 2007 when it was the opening act for The Police's reunion tour. Joe Sumner is the son of Police lead singer Sting.
History
When Sumner was a teenager in England, he was inspired to write songs when he heard the album Nevermind by the American rock group Nirvana. Sumner already knew how to play guitar and drums, so he started a band with Dan Brown, a friend from school who played bass. Fiction Plane began to form in 1999 when they were joined by guitarist Seton Daunt.
At a live performance a few years later, they attracted the attention of David Kahne, a producer who escorted them into a studio to record their debut album, Everything Will Never Be OK. Session musician Abe Laboriel Jr. was hired to play drums because the band lacked a full-time drummer. After the album was released, they hired Pete Wilhoit, a drummer from Bloomington, Indiana, and Fiction Plane was launched.[1][2]
Following their debut, the band released Bitter Forces and Lame Race Horses (2005), Left Side of the Brain (2007), the live CD/DVD Paradiso (2009), Sparks (2010), and Mondo Lumina (2015).[3]
Beyond the Band
Joe Sumner co-founded the company Vyclone to make a mobile app that allows several people to film an event simultaneously, then upload the clips and combine them into one movie viewed from different angles.[4][5]
