Fla.—Diarrhea Planet plans to let loose in Fla., from April 12 through 17. The Nashville, Tenn.-based group are set to unleash a series of performances at Hi Dive in Gainesville on April 12, Burro Bar in Jacksonville on April 13, Crowbar in Ybor City on April 16 and Pugs Live in Tallahassee on April 17.
On Sept. 15, 2014, KEXP hosted an in-studio session of one of Diarrhea Planet’s concerts via National Public Radio (NPR). The clip for “Lite Dream” can be accessed by clicking here and the full 20+ minute performance of their set can be seen by clicking here.
Jim Beckman, of NPR, typed up a blurb about Diarrhea Planet and he exclaimed, “Its name sounds like nowhere you’d want to be, and not necessarily something you’d want to heart, but Diarrhea Planet makes amazing music. Six guys from Nashville – four of them playing guitar! – live the credo of “Shred ‘Til You’re Dead” by blasting a fiery torrent of riff-heavy good times in a reverently irreverent mix of garage, punk, and ‘80s rock. Those of us watching could barely hold it in as Diarrhea Planet’s members tore up our tiny studio a KEXP last month, ripping guitar licks with their teeth and high-fiving all the while.”
Other publications have went onto praise Diarrhea Planet, including this one from Pitchfork:

“If you measure a live show's success by how happy to be alive it makes you,
then Nashville's Diarrhea Planet have the greatest show on Earth."

During the fall of 2014—Diarrhea Planet released their EP called “Aliens In The Outfield” and it followed their critically acclaimed album, “I’m Rich Beyond Your Wildest Dreams”.
Stereo Gum critiqued the album and cited, "If Aliens in the Outfield serves as any indication, Diarrhea Planet should continue to melt faces while still infusing subtle lyricism into their shredding three-minute jams."
Other notable statements in the press about Diarrhea Planet’s past releases include:

Other notable statements in the press about Diarrhea Planet’s past releases include:
"...it's a riotous stampede of basement-show sludge and triumphant soloing,
exactly the sort of album that suggests that the band would be ridiculously fun live."
- Stereogum
"The sheer energy that pulses through its second album, "I'm Rich Beyond Your Wildest Dreams" (Infinity Cat), feels young, though not exactly juvenile. A sweaty, sweaty rock band with four people playing guitar, this group resides somewhere near the intersection of Weezer and Ted Nugent"
