Seattle's Plan B (not to be confused with the German band or hip-hop act of the same name) is James van Leuven, who is also the drummer for rock band Automaton. Along with programming from a laptop computer, live shows feature stand-up bass, trumpet, cello, animated videos, and breakdancers. Plan B's first record, Like a Ship Sailing, was released in July 2002 by Luckyhorse Industries. ~ Kenyon Hopkin, Rovi
