Vic Sadot plays original topical folk, rock and blues with Crazy Planet Band. With Planète Folle Band he plays Cajun/Zyceco and New Orleans R&B. Planète Folle means Crazy Planet in French, but that band has a very different repertoire.
Why this name?
Vic's brother Joe Sadot who died in 1978 came up with a humorous political newsletter called Crazy Planet, a take-off from the Superman Comics Daily Planet. When brothers Vic and Rob started a band in 1979 they chose the name Crazy Planet. When Vic began doing Cajun/Zydeco music after travels in Louisiana, that group name became Planète Folle.
Do you play live?
Mostly in Delaware, but we have played at locations from Virginia to Connecticut.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
It gives independent artists a lot more say in what they can put out and how to reach the public.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Most likely as long as artistic and political content was left to the artist.

Delaware Folksinger Writes 'Tough Lyrics' Calling Attention to Neo-Con Corruption
Vic Sadot picks up where Bob Dylan left off, telling America in his music to end the Iraq War and put the neo-cons in jail for causing 9/11.

Vic Sadot has a knack for tackling tough political issues and then turning them into
the sweet sound of music. But unfortunately his brand of brash, hard-hitting folk music, similar to Bob Dylan in the 60's, is a rarity nowadays and about as hard to find as an honest judge. (To read more of the article click on the link below):
