disBAND: Soul Plane
September 11th, 2008
You can see Soul Plane on episode 3 of disBand today at 6:30pm ET! (For more show times go here). Here’s what emcee Yui has to say about their experience on the show.
This is Yui, emcee from Soul Plane, reporting to you live from the streets of downtown Toronto.
I can’t even begin to articulate how literal I’m being here; since MuchMusic called us early on in July to let us know that they would be invading our lives for a reality series, I’ve taken so many days off work to film for it that my boss fired me the ninth day in a row I played hooky. I asked about severance pay and he threatened to punch me in the mouth. So, I’m currently homeless and typing this on a stolen PDA.
It’s not all bad though; aside from not having to pay taxes, I get to sit here on the corner of Queen St. and Jarvis St. with my hand out and palm up waiting for our episode to air on September 11th, at 6:30pm on MuchMusic. Maybe when they see me on TV, people will stop spitting on me every time they pass by. If nothing else, this shows serious dedication - who else would willingly, consciously demote themselves from “gainfully employed” to “United Way status” in a matter of days just to look like a rock star on national television?
Answer: not just me. As I write this, Mel (vocals), Gideon (lead guitar), Kevin (rhythm guitar), Luke (bass), and Aaron (drums) are huddled beside me, warming their hands with a fire we made out of Aaron’s sticks; on a related tip, Kevin just beat a pigeon to death with his guitar case - dinner is served. We’ve all made sacrifices - because of this whole MuchMusic fiasco, we’ve lost friends, jobs, money, planned vacations, the odd family member, our dignity, our integrity, and most of our livelihoods. All we have left in this world is each other.
Just kidding, we also have MuchMusic. I speak for everyone in the band when I say that this experience was the time of our lives, and that we truly appreciate the opportunities Much presented to us on the silver platter that is this show. They had different celebrity guests come in everyday to re-vamp our sound, re-invent our style, and give our overall image a facelift, all in order to deliver on a very clear-cut mission statement” to get these judges throwing up their thumbs as opposed to their lunch on the day of reckoning.
On that note, I’m pretty sure Tupac was wrong when he said that “only God can judge me.” Apparently, you guys can, too. Come check us out at www.soulplanemusic.com - all you have to do is click that link and turn up your speakers until the neighbours file noise complaints. If you love it, email fanmail@soulplanemusic.com and tell us why (you could win a free copy of our demo!). If you hate it, email our manager at conorstief@soulplanemusic.com, and tell him why. For now, I’m going to tell Conor to invest in a bigger inbox. Also, please (we beg) join our mailing list to stay up on thangs - you don’t want to miss out on a chance to be the only people in our crowd at our next show!
Out for now,
Yui of Soul Plane

Yui sounds nothing like will i am and the chick sounds nothing like Fergie, and the music with these guys is ROCK and BLUES not like, hip hop and rap. YOU disband, dipshit. to SOUL PLANE: stay doing your thing don’t listen to these gutter-ass losers anyway who’re just mad their friends bands got told to shut the fuck up by people who actually know what their talking bout. Holla.

is this dude jus madd yui dropped the f-bomb that rymes with MAGGOT and that done hit too close to home for him?
-
you guys need an image, and the singer needs to shed some pounds quickly and fix the flats she kept on hitting throughout the whole performance. you can tell she’d be real hot if she just lost a bit of weight, so its nothing you guys can’t fix.. the music is pretty fresh and unique and there’s a crazy amount of energy. too bad the industry standards force the image along with it, but you guys definitel CAN get it together. DO IT!!
zitty, please fix your caps lock key, you fucking moron.

Honesttly, leave mel G alone…. shes one of the most unqiue and genuinely nice girls out there!
because she doesnt look like half of the stick thin girls out there doesnt mean she cant make it.. okay she loses a few pounds shes still waaaaay better then half of the girls out there and the image and message she conveys is always positive.. so for all the haters… step offf… because she’s going to be huge…
-
I agree with Sam. Mel G doesn’t deserve to have all of these rude comments written about her. I used to work with her and I know that she is a fun, sweet person, who is super-talented, and gorgeous on the inside and out. Soulplane needs to get signed NOW because they are exactly what the music scene needs.
-
wow guys if you dont like them dont post
