About
After a farewell show at The Troubadour in December of 2008, the band went on indefinite hiatus. Over the next few years the members of the group stayed busy with other projects as Greenwald worked on solo material and collaborated on projects with the Young Veins and Phases. Farrar also formed the band Operation Aloha with members of Gomez and Maroon 5. Similarly, Robinson toured with Miniature Tigers. Reunited in 2011, Phantom Planet played a handful of welcome-back shows including several at the Troubadour where they were joined by guitarist Brautbar. Also around this time, Farrar began splitting his time between Phantom Planet and touring as a member of Maroon 5. Following work on Greenwald's solo project, Phantom Planet announced their official return from hiatus with the 2019 single "Balisong."
