Mad Planet is a Los Angeles-based foursome consisting of Cooper Gillespie (vocals/bass), Greg Gordon (drums/sequences), Tony Crouse (guitars) and Monica Olive (keys). The band is an experiment in marrying electronic music and live instrumentation.

The group just released the Mad Planet EP which was produced by Ethan Allen (The 88, Gram Rabbit, Tricky). Already one of the singles from the record, "Pieces of You", was nominated for Best Alternative Song by the Hollywood Music and Media Awards and won Best Electronic Song in the Malibu Music Awards.

The band spent 2010 touring and promoting their debut album, All Elephants. The record is a soulful exploration of loss and heartbreak which garnered them critical acclaim and a position in the CMJ Top 200 charts alongside bands such as the Arcade Fire, Interpol and Of Montreal.

In 2011 the band released an ep, Gliese 581g and continued their touring schedule.

They have shared bills with bands such as Foster the People, Gram Rabbit and He's My Brother She's My Sister.

The band has been featured in numerous publications including Filter Magazine (Discovering the Undiscovered), CMJ.com (Sonicbids Spotlight Artist), Deli Magazine (named as one of LA's best new artists), Consequence of Sound, BMI.com (Indie Spotlight Artist) and more.
