Guitarist Jesse Batiuk began his music career in the San Diego area, and currently resides in Los Angeles. In 1997, Batiuk started the band Headchange, where he was the guitarist, and wrote and produced a lot of the music. Headchange eveuntually released a self-titled CD that gave them some local stardom, which led to the breakup and formation of a new band, Plane. In 2001, Plane released their album, "Welcome To My Opium Den". On his 2004 EP/CD release, Bluephoria, Batiuk delivers eight instrumental light rock tracks, arranged with a beat box rhythmic base that serves as a bedrock for improvisational leads. Reminiscent of some of the Craig Chaquico solo material (except using electric guitar), Batiuk prefers to let the guitar do the talking, with more space and grace than the typical rock CD.
